Data updated on 2025-07-31 20:03:59 UTC
Piers James is a British Caribbean artist, producer, rapper, singer, and creative director whose music fuses rap culture with 90s nostalgia and forward-thinking energy. From breakout singles like ‘Pon Dem’ and ‘Mass Appeal’ featuring Quentin Miller to stages shared with Ghostface Killah and Ed Sheeran, his journey defies the predictable. With over 5 million streams and acclaim from MTV, Hypebeast, GQ, and Complex, Piers is widely recognized as a pioneer in the UK’s new-wave nostalgia scene. His recent releases—featured in Apple TV ads, FIFA soundtracks, and BBC Radio 1—mark a new phase of artistic evolution rooted in personal stories and cultural commentary. Refusing to stay in one lane, Piers continues to blur genres and expectations, building a body of work that resonates far beyond borders. This is an artist constantly reinventing, determined to leave a lasting impact.
