Born and raised in Prince George’s County, Maryland, ProllyRazzi makes music like he’s talking to himself…or nobody at all. It’s instinct over image, feeling over format. “How I feel is what I make,” he says. “Simple and plain.”

That instinct started early. He joined the school choir in elementary school and stayed in it through high school, but it was in the sixth grade that he really found his voice…Writing songs in notebooks and recording a year later in the corner of his living room. With a Rock Band mic wrapped in a sock as a makeshift filter and beats pulled from YouTube, he’d record straight into his computer’s voice memo app. Around that same time, he started designing his own covers, not because he wanted to, but because no one else could. Out of necessity, he built the skillset that would eventually define his entire creative ecosystem.

Before 2017, he went by Tino. The name ProllyRazzi came from a shift in perspective, a flip on the word “paparazzi.” “They make a living off capturing moments,” he says. “Every song is a snapshot of something real, I’m just behind the mic instead of a camera”

That honesty shows up in every song. With Too Petty, though received well, Some people called the music too emotional. He’s fine with that. “That’s what makes ProllyRazzi, ProllyRazzi.” Every track carries a mood: heartbreak, calm, tension, joy. You don’t press play on a single, you tap into whatever version of the truth he was living that day. “I want people to just feel. Happy, sad, excited. It honestly depends on your mood.”

Beyond music, he leads SimolPro, a digital production company rooted in design and creative direction, with long-term plans to evolve into a full-scale studio for film, TV, and storytelling across mediums.

The next album is due out fall/winter 2025.
