POUYA s a Miami-born rapper and producer who quickly rose to underground stardom with his dark, aggressive blend of South Florida alternative rap and classic Southern hip-hop. Emerging from the internet scene in the early 2010s after leaving high school to pursue music full-time, Pouya built a fiercely loyal global fanbase inspired by legendary acts like Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and Three 6 Mafia. His major breakthrough arrived with the release of "Get Buck" and his collaborative EP $outh $ide$uicide with $uicideboy$, viral releases that racked up hundreds of millions of streams and established him as a defining pioneer of modern independent rap.

Building on that momentum, Pouya co-founded the Buffet Boys collective and released acclaimed projects like Underground Underdog and Five Five, solidifying his signature rapid-fire delivery, heavy basslines, and introspective lyricism. Now leading his independent label ALL BUT 6, he continues to embark on massive headlining tours—including The Forever Glades Tour—selling out venues across North America and beyond with his high-energy, mosh-pit-inducing live performances.
