After spending a decade ghost-writing hits for hip-hop artists, Stallionaires Pooch is looking to emulate his multi-cultural experiences with multiple genres—starting with hip-hop, and moving on to country, rock, and classical music. It’s a plan Pooch says he’s had in the making for 13 years, but it wasn’t until the encouragement of musician friends and artists such as Jay-Z and Childish Gambino that Stallionaires Pooch decided to release his own music.
Stallionaires Pooch’s culmination of an upbringing in Washington D.C. and the suburbs of Virginia, and different lifestyles over the years, have influenced his music–leading up to his latest single “You See Me” that shows off his personality while using some of his real-life experiences.
“I feel like that's just the starter kit showing people who I am and showing people how to get to know me and opening up the doorways so people can get to know me,'' says Stallionaires Pooch. “That song was based on my reality. It was a young lady that came into the club and she was with a man that wasn't treating her right. And I wanted to be seen, because I feel like I could treat her better. So that's where "You See Me" came from and the cockiness and the so like, you know, you see the attitude of the band and um, so a lot of, a lot of the reason why at the point that right down in life is because of those reasons and also because, you know, a lot of my music is, well, all my music is based off reality is based on the things that I go through in life and I know a lot of people can relate to it.”
The task of taking on a handful of genres isn’t for every artist, but once Stallionaires Pooch tells his story to the hip-hop world on his debut record Larry, set to be released in June on his label Halloween Gang Entertainment, he will venture into his genre journey. Pooch even claims he doesn’t listen to much hip-hop and prefers music from Frank Sinatra to Billy Ray Cyrus.
“I have so many different sides to me that I can just blend in anywhere, and that's what helps my music a lot, because some stuff that people can't relate to I can help them relate to it,” says Pooch about his style. The follow-up to Larry will be Blue Collar, an almost strictly country record with a trap twist. It's in these efforts that Staallionaire Pooch will make a name for himself on any sort of stage and seeks to make an impact while immortalizing a sound that has multiple influences, but ultimately is his own while stepping forward into the limelight.
“I want my music to last forever. I want it to be here today and here tomorrow, not here today and gone tomorrow and forgotten about. I want to add to the culture of the human race and make people listen to music again and love music again. Not listening to music to get vibin, or listening to music and wanna hurt and hate people. I want to make music that's going to make people feel free and want to be themselves and I don't care what anybody thinks, how they look, how they feel, just let down their hair and be free. That's the kind of music that I want to make and I'm making. And I'm putting out this music that shows people that this is me, you see me. I know you see me because these are the things that I'm doing. These are the things that I'm able to do, and the things I'm capable of doing. And these are the things that you're capable of or you're able to do. So if you see me, I see you.”
