Saint Pierre is an artist who’s here to have the people bumping and jumping to his music. The Virginia Beach-based rapper originally got into music due to his love for the process of creating a song. Saint Pierre describes his sound as being multidimensional. “I honestly don’t have one sound,” he says. “I’m always working on becoming more versatile and changing my approach to every song that I record.”
He teamed up with producer 1hunnidshadez for his new track “Anyway” which released August 5th. Saint Pierre boasts of getting paid, yet remains humble in this head banger. “‘Anyway’ is just a song about me staying grounded and focused on everything that I’m currently working towards my day to day life. There’s situations and people in this world who want to knock you off your position but you’ve got to stay focused on the mission and improve yourself in the process.”
With more in store for the remainder of the year, audiences should be excited for what’s coming next.
Get to know the rising star below, and what he has in store coming up.
What city are you from/ Where are you based now?
I was born in Norfolk, VA but I’ve spent most of my life in Virginia Beach. I’m currently located in Virginia Beach now.
What is your artist name? What is your real name? How did you get your artist name?
My artist is name is Saint Pierre. Pierre is part of my government name but the Saint portion is a childhood nickname that I picked up over the years. I just thought it was only right to combine them together.
How would you describe your sound to readers who may not be familiar with you?
I honestly don’t have one sound. I’m always working on becoming more versatile and changing my approach to every song that I record. My goal is to infuse different genres into my music and trying my best to not be repetitive.
What’s one reason you are passionate about music and what inspires you?
I make music because I really love the entire process that goes into making a song. From creating the lyrics to finalizing the master, I just love going through the steps in creating something new and different. I always visualize a song in certain space or setting while recording it to make sure it makes sense. I’ll say to myself, “I can see people jumpin’ at a concert to this” or “I could see someone bumpin’ this on their way to a move”. My biggest inspiration is that I’ve always felt like I could make music and be good at it. I’m an extremely competitive person so if I ever have an opportunity to get better at something then I’ll do it and put in the work. That’s why I always feel like I have no ceiling when it comes to getting better at making music.
Who are some of your main musical influences?
Ye, P (Pharrell), Lil Wayne, and Gucci (Gucci Mane).
Tell us the name of the project you are currently promoting? What inspired this project?
I’m currently promoting my new single “Anyway.” produced by 1hunnidshadez. Me and 1hunnid had always talked about working on a song together. We had randomly linked up one day and I had walked in on him making a beat. I had sat through the whole process and it probably only took him like 15 minutes to make it but by the end of it I already had a song in my mind that would be perfect for it. I recorded the entire song at his crib that day.
Date that this project dropped or is set to drop?
“Anyway.” was released on all streaming platforms on August 5th.
What is this project about in your own words?
“Anyway.” is just song about me staying grounded and focused on everything that I’m currently working towards in my day to day life. There’s situations and people in this world who want to knock you off your position but you’ve got to stay focused on the mission and improving yourself in the process.
What’s next for you? Are you working on any upcoming projects we should be on the lookout for? Include some dates if you have them.
I’m currently in the process of working on two separate projects right now. I’m going to continue to release singles over the next couple of months to continue pushing forward with the momentum that I’m starting to gain. I don’t have any specific dates but my next release will be next month.
What message do you hope fans take away from your music and from this project?
I just ask everyone to come along with me on this ride. This is only the beginning of this journey and I appreciate all the support I’ve been getting recently. It truly means a lot. My biggest ask is to continue to share my music and my content on all platforms. I just want them to know that I’m going to keep on working at my craft and I’ll continue to get better as time progress.
