Pouya
Rapper, Singer, Songwriter
Conexión con Miami
Pouya has put South Florida on the map as a pioneer of the SoundCloud underground rap scene starting in 2012, collaborating with and boosting local talents like Denzel Curry, Fat Nick, Yung Simmie, and Robb Bank$ from the Miami hip-hop collective. His success with albums like Underground Underdog and hits like '1000 Rounds' (Gold-certified with Ghostemane) has drawn national attention to the 305's raw, gritty sound. By representing Kendall and Hialeah roots, he inspires the next generation of independent rappers in the region.

Born Kevin Pouya on December 20, 1994, in Miami, Florida, with Cuban and Persian roots, he grew up in Kendall near Hialeah and dropped out of high school in 10th grade to pursue music after odd jobs and comedic YouTube content with Fat Nick. He emerged in the early 2010s with Raider Klan and C$PG, co-founding Buffet Boys in 2011 and launching the ALL BUT 6 record label, collective, and clothing brand. Pouya gained traction with tracks like 'Get Buck' in 2013 and released mixtapes and albums including Underground Underdog, which hit 2 on iTunes Top Hip Hop Albums, Five Five, and The South Got Something to Say. His gritty style draws from 90s influences like Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Three 6 Mafia, and UGK, and he has jump-started careers of artists like $uicideboy$, KXLLSWXTCH, and Shakewell. Deeply tied to Miami's vibrant underground rap scene alongside Denzel Curry, Robb Bank$, and others, he continues as an independent artist with a strong SoundCloud and Spotify following.
