Mr. Sleepy

Sleepy is a rapper originally from Missouri City, TX. One can hear both the Texas and Louisiana influence in Sleepy's flow and sound but his music is heavily directed by a triad of musical personas related to moods and life experiences during his songwriting process. Sleepy is outside of himself in much of his music, seeing what he’s been, what he could be, and what he should be. The beats, often provided by Baton Rouge producer Ajondatrack, set the mood while the persona delivers the message or story.


At any point in time Sleepy will give you the Scholar – the ambitious career student who's goal oriented and always looking to learn and unite the different subcultures. Sleepy has always been nerd-like, socially awkward, but cool. In this mood, Sleepy is mostly reflective, upbeat, and arrogant at times. Gatsby – the grown-up, ambitious, overachiever that still feels like something is missing. He has high anxiety, but is on an endless pursuit of wealth and the undoing of regrets. This version of Sleepy is introspective, laid back and more melodic. Reaper – the result of a sensitive napoleon complex. All sensed disrespect produces the music from this vengeful sound and persona. This is the dark side of a man who, at times, feels like it's Sleepy VS. The World.


In all personas, Sleepy is your regular guy with hidden talents, much like a Superhero.
The purpose in his music is to encourage people to embrace who they are and use that strength to overcome personal demons.
