PoppiDizzy remembers the precise moment he knew music would become his life’s work. At nine years old, after being captivated by the infectious energy of Michael Jackson, James Brown, and New Edition, he penned his first lines, feeling the creative spark that would guide him forward. He was inspired by the sheer artistry those legends displayed, and the notion that music is an expressive form of art resonated deeply with him from the very start.
When it comes to creating, his process begins the instant he hears a beat. He studies every element of it—the drum patterns, each clap, the pace and texture of the rhythm—then tailors his flow and lyrics to complement what he’s hearing. This deliberate method has shaped PoppiDizzy into a versatile artist whose sound morphs depending on the mood and message he wants to convey. He describes his style as dark yet uplifting, soulful but vulnerable, marked by resilience and unwavering determination.
Above all, PoppiDizzy wants listeners to remain true to their own artistry. He believes strongly in maintaining originality and authenticity, refusing to compromise when it comes to staying genuine. For him, the greatest obstacle in his path is the need to forge a distinct identity in a world filled with rappers—he sees himself as a lyricist instead, someone who crafts words with purpose rather than simply chasing a trend.
Nothing, however, can match the joy of his children singing along to his songs, attempting to memorize each lyric and carry the melodies. In those moments, PoppiDizzy experiences a sense of fulfillment that surpasses any external accolade. Hearing his kids embrace his music serves as a reminder of why he started and why he continues to push onward.
His goals for the future are twofold: expand internationally so that his voice and words resonate around the globe, and remain grounded in the path he feels called to walk. PoppiDizzy intends to stay devoted to his craft, standing firm in the belief that music is meant to unite, heal, and ultimately reflect who he is—and who he strives to be—while trusting that his faith and artistry will carry him wherever he needs to go.
