Pi'erre Bourne

- Pierre Bourne describes the sound he pioneered as a "happy-ass beat with the trap 808's." , its identifiable through double kick drums, video game reminiscent melodies, and neon- smeared synths that sound straight out of a space odyssey. The style not only gave (Playboi Carti), the musical partner he had been yearning for but put a sonic stamp on that era of SoundCloud rap, with a birthday, non-caring- at- all energy that was cheeky, visceral and free. Collaborations with the likes of Lil Uzi Vert and 21 savag e soon followed, which he soon collabed with the rappers, (Drake, Kanye West and Chance The Rapper recently.) From a young age he worked as an engineer at Epic Records Atlanta studio, he would spend his free time running in and out of the booth himself, engineering and producing three of his own projects. eventually these would become "The Life of Pie'rre series, released on SoundCloud throughout the end of the year, stories about love and his journey to the top of the music industry. In 2017, he signed a deal with interscope. That year he dropped a handful of singles, but fans are still waiting for TLOP 4, which is set to release in April of 2019. Grew up as an only child, moving home to home in South Carolina with his mom, she is a first-generation Belizean-American who was in the military. His father, who lives in South Carolina, he currently runs a two men truck business. He spent most of his childhood and years in school in Columbia, South Carolina. He would eventually head up north to his maternal grandmother’s house in South Jamaica, Queens and every every school break. In Queens, when he was in elementary school, his uncle Dwight, who was a rapper and graphic designer introduced him to a production program called, " Fruit loops'. After he was shown this production program, his uncle Dwight encouraged him to take the whole computer down south and keep working on his production and beats.

College days- He was registered into Winthrop and the university of South Carolina. " I went to Winthrop for a year, i got suspended for some weed, it was a bunch of bullshit." . Thats where his roots began. He used to rap on campus and campus officials and police did not approve of things like that. So after he was lost and didn't know where to go. So he was thinking about all these big music places and came to a conclusion that New York City would be the best fit for him musically and mentally. He would stay there for the next six months just making music and having a good time then he wasn't going anywhere staying in New York. He had heard of many artists blowing up in Atlanta like, ( The Migos, Young Thug, Lil Yachty and more). He tried to go back to Winthrop for a semester, but then he was not interested and went to follow his dreams down in Atlanta. Also he belived that every six months a rapper blows up in Atlanta.

Present- In this present Pierre Bourne is fully focused on making music and perfecting it each and everyday. " When I was working for Epic I had to stay in the studio for a year—like sleeping on the couch in the control room for a year straight." . From this quote it seems like he is more dedicated now and has less distractions in life. Pierre Bourne is in the midst of blowing up in these upcoming years. If he keeps working on his craft nothing could stop him. He is one of the top producers in the game right now. He believes that he can recognize and see bad behavior when he as a artist in the studio. If he does then he will decide not to work with that particular artist.
