Q. Tell everyone who you are and what you do.

A. Hi Everyone, I am Pop Stunna and I am a musical Artist. I make music straight from the soul with raw energy.

Q. Let’s talk a little about your journey and how you got to where you are today?

A. Making music has always been something I have wanted to do, growing up as a kid my mom would make me a book with lyrics from the top 40 songs on the radio and stuff like that. Also, as a teen I would just print the lyrics of some of my favorite songs on the wall and just rap to the words over and over. So that just kind of give you an idea on my world growing up. I have always been interested in music and to get to the level I am at right now, I had to keep that passion and interest alive. It has not been an easy road in the sense that, you must have many things in your life and around you straight before you can start making music on a professional level. You know like they call it: “The Journey”. So, my journey has always been unconventional, because I started to make music for real first in college, but back then it was really hard to combine school, work, life and not having the funds and all that. So, I took a break for a minute to focus on school and get my money right. After I got to a point where I feel I can easily fund a music career/business off the ground, I just started. I didn’t wait a second, I went for it 100% and I have not looked back ever since.

Q. Tell us about “Roccsta” and the motivation behind it?

A. The song “Roccsta” is one of my favorite songs right now, because it embodied so many behind the scenes story and everything I have been doing recently. If you have been following me, you will know I travel a lot, as I have been to 49 different countries all around the world. So essentially just traveling the world, doing the things I like to do, having fun, and just being a rock star by action and most importantly ignoring the haters. Those are some of the things I will say inspired the song. The theme of the song, the video and the whole rollout is just about being yourself and showcasing your persona. The wings tattoo and the cover art were mostly just saying: spread your wings and fly away, just be free and express your light. For folks that are not into music, it can be anything in their life, their career, goals, and relationship whatever it is. Just be your best self, be confident and have fun because you are a rock starrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Q. What has been your greatest accomplishment you’ve received in your career?

A. For me I don’t see art or music as a single milestone because I know as an artist, you will never be perfect, so that is why I always strive for growth. I have this mentality because growth is the one thing that is constant for a dedicated artist: you will always grow with dedication. So, I have been very dedicated and I think that has helped me grow a lot. I just look back to 2018, when I first dropped my first official single and now, the growth has been immense. So, for me, my greatest accomplishment has been growth.

Q. If you could perform anywhere in the world, where would it be?

A. That is a tricky question, because I have been to so many places and cities all around the world, but if I am going to pick a favorite there might be some recency bias. I just finished my tour of the south, and I had a stop in Atlanta, and I think the love and energy there was really great especially for an artist like myself that is not a household name yet, it was just awesome being there. The people of Atlanta love hip hop and also, Atlanta was the first city I performed “Roccsta” at way before I even dropped the song. I performed the song at KOD way back in the spring of 2022, and the energy was nuts. That

was when I knew the song would be a hit, I think that gave me so much confidence to actually go out there and put major weight behind the song. So, Atlanta holds a special place in my heart because of that.

Q. What are some goals you want to accomplish in the next three years?

A. I feel like, just being out there in front of people and performing your songs live is the best feeling ever, so I would say I want to have a major world tour of all the major habitable continents of the world and give the people this Pop Stunna energy. I think that would be great for everyone to experience.

Q. What do you think is missing in today’s music waves?

A. I mean that is easy to say as most artist that is up and coming today don’t have a lot of originality and character. It’s kind of sad to watch other artist just copying other grown men 100%, instead of just being themselves and having their own identity and sound. Everyone trying to take the easy way out, by sounding like the artist that is currently in the spotlight. So, I will say the game is missing a lot of that for sure. For me, I think if you say you are an artist, I should see that artistry as a representation of you and your life and not that of another person. That’s for me, is something big that is missing from today’s music.

Q. If you could give one message to your fans, what would it be?

A. Keep working on your goals by being the best version of yourself. For the ones that don’t have a goal yet, keep being you and living your life and that magic will eventually strike you.

Q. Are you working on any new projects or upcoming events?

A. Yes, I am working on my full-length project that will be dropping this winter called: “Youth”. “Roccsta” is the lead single from the project, so I have been working on the projects all over, from spending a whole quarter in LA, months in Amsterdam and other parts of Europe, and then majority of my time back home in Austin, TX, it’s been really great to work on this project. I think it will be my best with the many experiences I have had and also just taking my time with it. Also, I am finishing up my tour with the west coast leg and I will be hitting Phoenix, San Diego, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas.
