You Cannot Force Creativity - Pip
Pip is a Westchester-NY-bred 25-year-old whose dreams of becoming a pro athlete were cut short. This former Division I baseball player’s injuries and mental health may have derailed his dream of playing pro, but they became the catalyst for finding light in the darkness. Pip is a self-taught singer-songwriter who managed his anxiety by picking up a guitar and dusting off a piano for the first time at age 18. Now 7 years later, Pip has attracted loyal fans on TikTok (77k+ followers) and listeners on Spotify (200k+ streams) with his smooth vocals, acoustic guitar and signature baseball cap. Influenced by the likes of Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber, Pip adds a timeless flare to his genre-less songs that transcend generational tastes. He recently collaborated with former Death Row artist Sam Sneed on their single 'Sinatra Swag.” He recently released his single 'Loverboy,' inspired by the popular Hamptons drink with the GOOOD MOOOD collective. Pip’s sweet sound and authentic lyrics are on the verge of tapping into a vast audience and resonating with many who have struggled with their dreams and reimagining their identity.
