Hailing from the bustling streets of New York City, Red Velvet Papi brings a distinctive flavor to the world of music. His stage name, a nod to a humorous college memory, captures the fusion of smoothness and wit that defines his artistry. Red Velvet Papi’s sound can be best described as “Bedroom Hip-Hop/R&B,” blending the softness and playfulness of Bedroom Pop with the rhythmic elements of Hip-Hop and R&B.
Furthermore, Remixd Magazine had the opportunity to further chat with the artist to learn more about passion for music. It turns out, that it traces back to his upbringing, with both his parents instilling in him a deep love for the art form. For him, music is a means of self-expression, allowing him to navigate his emotions and share his experiences with listeners. “I’m passionate about music thanks to my parents,” he told Remixd Magazine. “Both of them are avid music lovers, so naturally it rubbed off on me. What inspires me is the drive to create first and foremost, since I was little drawing and making things out of nothing has always been fun to me; visualizing or hearing something in your head and bringing it into reality, is an experience like no other.”

With its catchy hooks and vibrant production, “She Want Me” invites listeners to embrace their inner greatness and revel in their uniqueness.
