Pierce is a self-taught musician with a natural talent that is immediately recognizable through an all-encompassing vocal range and soul-awakening lyrics. He started writing/recording songs in his late teens, forged from a love of writing introspective poetry.
 
For Pierce, the song-writing process is born out of life experience, the highs and the lows, the dark and the light. The end result is insightful and honest lyrics, delivered through unique and heartfelt vocals. He describes music as "a form of natural therapy, a soul release, a coping mechanism for surviving the stresses and difficulties of modern life."

He displays an intrinsic knowledge of music, successfully crossing genres and styles while still maintaining his unique identifiable sound and love for well-crafted lyrics. Pierce pursues originality and is not afraid of musical experimentation.
 
A wide range of influences reflects his unique take on music. Drawing inspiration from an early diet of hip hop, soul, and R&B; he later embraced folk, rock, and electronic music. He cites “A Tribe Called Quest” and rock greats Jeff Buckley, David Bowie and the experimental Thom Yorke as his chief influences. He utilizes various vocal styles to continue discovering and exploring his voice as an artist. Fusing the best of all worlds, Pierce is known for layering live instrument recordings, combining loops, samples, beat production and his always present vocal artistry and versatility. He breathes life into music that manifests from his experiences and interactions with the world.
​
His largely observational insights into the human condition are delivered with a disarming honesty, ranging from complex production to passionately sensitive, bare-boned life reflections. With crisp vocals, an impressive range, and his chameleon-like quality of blending various styles and genres, he effortlessly manages to combine his many personas. In Pierce’s world, music is a universal meditation on identity and belonging, loss and love.

No promoters I handle all my own production.

I’m more of a DJ who loves to be creative with music and loves to perform, and wants to share this creativity with others.  Lately, I’ve been experimenting with Groovepad. It’s an app that I use on my iPhone and the loops are made by other amazing artists and producers. All I’m doing is having a blast arranging and rearranging these amazing loops during a live recording and sharing these experiences with everyone. Good or bad, it’s a great time to celebrate life! 😁 I have an understanding of music fundamentals from being in band, jazz band, etc. and I have a real passion for the universal language of music.  It’s been a great app to use, I highly recommend.  I hope what I share, people will enjoy. One Love 😎
