Pelly

“If it’s a mountain to climb that means it’s worth all your time” raps Pelly authoritatively on Hell On Earth, the 3rd track off his Pagida EP. Little did he know then that those words would manifest his own destiny.

Growing up in a sleepy mid-west town, there wasn’t a hip hop scene to develop within. So Pelly looked outward, drawing inspiration from classic rappers. He crafted his own unique sound from the cultural silence & began putting out music, growing with every release. But his biggest break would also be one of his longest coming.

An avid anime fan, he decided to write a song relating his life to his favorite Dragon Ball Z character, Goku. It’s reception at time of release was lukewarm, but positive, & he quickly moved on to other projects. He partnered with trap scene journeyman BEATSMASH & newcomers SooDope on a high octane workout track called Bodied that was swiftly picked up by gyms around the world. But then one day, 2 years after its release, Goku found a new home…TikTok. The song blew up seemingly overnight, shared tens of thousands of times & brought with it an entirely new audience. Buoyed by its success, Pelly decided to scratch the itch to do a song about another favorite anime of his…Naruto.

Now with 550,000 shares on TikTok, over 12 million streams, & placements with Les Mills, the Denver Nuggets, Washington Wizards, & the NBA Finals, Pelly shows no signs of slowing down. He just continues to climb.~ pellybooking@gmail.com
