What started as writing poetry evolved into songwriting and eventually the pursuit of a career in hip hop. As P.Y.T continues to rise in the music scene, her unique blend of lyricism, inspiration, and authenticity sets her apart in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A Passion for Music from a Young Age<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>P.Y.T\u2019s musical journey began in her early childhood. At the tender age of 11, she started writing poetry, and it wasn\u2019t long before she realized that her words could take on a new form\u2014song lyrics. From there, the transformation was inevitable. It was clear from the start that music would be a defining part of her life, and hip-hop would be the genre through which she would express her most personal and impactful messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy journey with music started when I was eleven years old,\u201d P.Y.T reflects. \u201cI started writing, and at first, it was poetry. But then, I realized I could turn that poetry into songs. From that moment, I knew I wanted to do music for the rest of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Inspiration from Icons: Bow Wow, Michael Jackson, and Tupac<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to inspiration, P.Y.T credits several icons for shaping her career. The first spark came when she saw Bow Wow (then Lil Bow Wow) as a child rapper. Witnessing a young artist making waves in hip hop lit a fire in her to pursue a professional music career. Though she didn\u2019t voice it at the time, the moment left a lasting impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSeeing Lil Bow Wow back then made me want to do music professionally,\u201d P.Y.T shares. \u201cIt\u2019s one of those things that you feel deep down, but at that time, I didn\u2019t express it. I knew right then that I wanted to pursue music.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to Bow Wow, Michael Jackson\u2019s influence went beyond performance. He instilled in her the desire to understand the music business and not just focus on being an artist. The King of Pop\u2019s work ethic and approach to showmanship inspired P.Y.T to balance her artistic side with a deep understanding of the business aspect of music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMichael Jackson influenced me not only to perform but to learn the business side of music,\u201d she says. \u201cI didn\u2019t want to just be an artist making music. I wanted to understand how the music business worked.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The final piece of P.Y.T\u2019s artistic influence came from Tupac Shakur. The late rapper\u2019s unapologetic approach to lyricism and his ability to speak truth through his music inspired her to express herself without fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTupac inspired me to express myself without holding back,\u201d P.Y.T says. \u201cHe was always real in his lyrics and never afraid to speak the truth. That\u2019s something I admire, and it influences how I write.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Inspiration Behind \u201c24\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>P.Y.T\u2019s latest project, <em>24<\/em>, is a reflection of her philosophy on time and success. She believes that we all have the same 24 hours in a day, and it\u2019s up to each individual to use that time wisely. Written in 2022, the song and project were inspired by the idea that we control our own destinies based on how we use our time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI wrote the song in 2022, but when 2024 approached, it felt right to attach the project to the year,\u201d she explains. \u201cWe all have the same 24 hours, but it\u2019s what we do with them that counts. The project is a reflection of how I used my 24 hours to get to where I am.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a message of being a go-getter, never settling, and grinding for success, P.Y.T\u2019s <em>24<\/em> serves as a motivational anthem for listeners. Through the project, she hopes to inspire others to take full advantage of the time they have and work toward achieving their dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Building Skills and Making Connections<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>P.Y.T\u2019s journey has also been shaped by her experiences on stage and in the studio. Opening for major artists has taught her the importance of preparation and dedication to her craft. She makes it a point to always rehearse, to be the best performer she can be, and to entertain with energy and enthusiasm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Performing alongside some of the biggest names in music has also reinforced her belief in her own abilities. \u201cPerforming on the same stage as major artists has pushed me to always give it my all. It tells me I must be doing something right,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her journey into music production and audio engineering also started at a young age. At 17, she began experimenting with music production, eventually teaching herself how to use software like Logic, Fruity Loops, and Pro Tools. These skills gave her total artistic control over her music and allowed her to express herself fully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Facing Challenges and Paving the Way for Female Rappers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a female rapper, P.Y.T has faced her share of challenges in an industry that often tries to pigeonhole women into a specific mold. She\u2019s refused to fit into the stereotypical image that some expect, believing that there\u2019s room for a diverse range of female voices in hip hop. She\u2019s also had to navigate unwanted advances and the pressures of a male-dominated industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve had to deal with people trying to fit me into the mold of what they think a female rapper should be. There\u2019s room on the scene for diverse voices, but not everyone sees that,\u201d she explains. \u201cThere are people who will try to intimidate you or offer help in exchange for something else, but I stay clear from them. As a female artist, you have to stand your ground and not fall into the traps they set.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For aspiring female rappers, P.Y.T advises staying true to oneself and having a clear goal. \u201cStay true to you and what you want to do musically. Have a clear vision, and don\u2019t let anyone steer you off course.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Looking Ahead<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>P.Y.T has big plans for the future. In addition to more sync licensing deals and placements in television and film, she is also working on multiple projects to release throughout 2024. There\u2019s also a focus on visuals, ensuring that her fans experience her music in a full and immersive way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her goals include being a part of a writing camp for signed artists and achieving placements on major albums. As she continues to push herself toward greater accomplishments, P.Y.T is ready to face the challenges ahead with the same resilience and dedication that have gotten her this far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI want to accomplish more with each project I release,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019m always pushing myself to do better, and I\u2019m ready for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With her unique style, powerful lyrics, and unshakeable determination, P.Y.T is definitely one to watch in the world of hip hop. Her journey is just beginning, and her impact will be felt for years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the world of music, there are countless stories of individuals who rise above the noise to become voices of inspiration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5828,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[369],"tags":[95],"class_list":["post-5827","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-los-angeles-vibes","tag-los-angeles"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.dizzydiddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_0025.jpeg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dizzydiddy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5827","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dizzydiddy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dizzydiddy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dizzydiddy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dizzydiddy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5827"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.dizzydiddy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5827\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5829,"href":"https:\/\/www.dizzydiddy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5827\/revisions\/5829"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dizzydiddy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5828"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dizzydiddy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5827"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dizzydiddy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5827"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dizzydiddy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5827"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
