PawPawRod\, the Hawaii-born\,
Oklahoma-raised rapper and singer\, discovered his passion for music and w
riting during his upbringing as a military brat. Moving frequently\, he fo
und solace in the familiar sounds of his favorite records. When speaking o
n his artistry\, he explains that during his formative years in Norman\, O
K\, &ldquo\;There was an absence of a dominant or regional sound\, especia
lly for black artists. This afforded me the freedom to pull from everythin
g\, crucially shaping my music today\, a credit I attribute to my childhoo
d experiences of moving around various cultures and tribes.&rdquo\; PawPaw
Rod grew up on a steady diet of Maxwell\, Prince\, The Gap Band\, and Bil
l Withers. He first caught the performance bug singing in church\, sharing
that &ldquo\;ever since that first time singing on stage\, I knew I would
forever be on a journey of chasing that feeling.&rdquo\;
PawPaw Rod released his explosive debut single\, "HIT EM WHERE IT HURTS\," in 2020\, seamlessly merging hip-hop\, 60s soul\, funk\, and alternative.
