After racking up tens of millions of streams and views independently and collaborating with the likes of Soulja Boy and more, he introduces himself as a raw, real, and ready showman on a series of singles and his forthcoming debut project for Run It Up Records. “I’m an entertainer, first and foremost,” he affirms. “I’m going to rap, I’m going to sing, and I’m going to dance. I want to bring that old feeling back with a storyline and vision. I’m trying to impact the new generation.” Growing up on the South Side of Chicago, he gravitated towards music as a young kid. At just four-years-old, he took dance classes, learning tap, hip-hop, and a myriad of other styles. Under the lights and cameras, he immediately thrived on stage. Inspired by Chris Brown, Missy Elliott, Timbaland, B2K, Omarion, and Eminem, he carefully cultivated a sound of his own punctuated by hip-hop energy, R&B swagger, and pop appeal. In 2019, he achieved viral success with the one-two punch of “I’m Bussin” and “How You Stepping.” However, it only set the stage for the explosion of his 2020 Lil Mama Music EP. The breakthrough single “Sneaky Link” [feat. Glizzy G] inspired over 156K videos on TikTok and surpassed 18.8 million Spotify streams. Soulja Boy and Kayla Nicole both hopped on the official remix. At the same time, he carries his hometown of Chicago with him wherever he goes, giving an edge to the music. In the end, Hxllywood might just be the entertainer the 21st century needs.
