A’Van Reed, known to the world as DXNNY!, carried a gift that was nothing short of otherworldly. Through his music, style, and creativity, he left an imprint that will never fade. As a recording artist and fashion designer, he first emerged as Danny Fanta before later taking on the name DXNNY!—a name that carried his unique vision and voice. His rhyming style flowed with a distinct rhythm, and when paired with the hooks he so artfully wrote, his music radiated a magnetic energy.

To me, he was more than an artist—he was my beloved son. His spirit is woven into the heart of Violets in Bloom, reminding us that creativity, healing, and self-expression are sacred parts of being alive. A’Van “DXNNY!” Reed will forever be missed, yet his light continues to guide the work we do here, and the community we hold in care.
