Deeply rooted in hip-hop, the musician classifies himself as much as a rapper than a producer, with unconventional beats accompanied by brutally honest lyrics delivered in a style inspired by Wax and Big L.

Pierre’s December 5 Whelan’s gig will be supported by Irish 5-piece MT.Heads. Tickets sell for €7 here.
