Hollywood Pompeii, is a Brooklyn-born recording artist, filmmaker, producer and creative entrepreneur whose career has been built on independence, vision and ownership. Born in Coney Island, New York, his passion for music began after his mother introduced him to The Score by The Fugees, a moment that inspired him to pursue rap from an early age.

At just twelve years old, he was already chasing the dream, writing letters to Bad Boy Records in hopes of being discovered. Inspired by Mase, he adopted the name Pompeii, while his cousin added Hollywood, creating the identity that would eventually become recognized throughout the music industry.

Rather than waiting for opportunities, Hollywood Pompeii built them himself. His reputation grew through artist development, touring, creative direction and connecting talent across the industry, earning recognition as both an artist and one of the most respected creative minds behind the scenes.

Beyond music, Hollywood Pompeii has established himself as the founder of Hollywood Pompeii Studios in the Greater New Orleans area, where he oversees music production, cinematography, visual storytelling and brand development.

His work extends far beyond recording songs. From directing visuals and scouting locations to helping artists build sustainable brands, Hollywood Pompeii has become a trusted creative partner for some of today’s biggest names in hip-hop. With collaborations involving B.G. Lil Baby, Rob49, Kevin Gates, Fred the Godson, Casanova, Lil Durk, Trippie Redd, Boosie and many more.

Hollywood Pompeii has developed a catalog built around cinematic storytelling, experimental production and independent artistry. Rather than chasing trends, each release expands a larger creative universe where music and visuals work together as one experience. His recent run of projects throughout 2025 and 2026 has established him as one of the most distinctive independent artists emerging from New Orleans.

Before the recent VOODOO era, Hollywood Pompeii laid the foundation with projects including GOD (Gang or Die) and Voodoo 4, showcasing collaborations with Kidd Kidd, Fred the Godson and Rico $avage. Releases such as Chango (Big Gold Chains) and Don’t Know helped establish his signature blend of cinematic storytelling and Southern influence

For Hollywood Pompeii, visuals are never an afterthought, they’re a core part of the music. As both an artist and filmmaker, he approaches every release with a cinematic mindset, creating videos that feel more like short films than traditional music videos. That visual identity has become one of the defining elements of his brand

Hollywood Pompeii’s background in directing, creative direction and production gives him a unique advantage as an independent artist. Every release is developed with the complete picture in mind, from the music and branding to the cinematography, editing and audience experience. It’s this commitment to visual storytelling that continues to separate his work from the traditional independent artist model

Hollywood Pompeii’s creative work has earned coverage across multiple media outlets while his behind-the-scenes contributions continue shaping projects throughout the entertainment industry. His press includes features from VENTS Magazine, Disrupt, Time Business News, Reading Eagle and Medium.

Reallionaire Records officially welcomed Hollywood Pompeii to its growing roster, marking the beginning of a long-term partnership centered on artist development, music, filmmaking, branding and strategic collaborations.

The signing represents more than a traditional record deal, it unites Hollywood Pompeii’s independent creative vision with Reallionaire Records’ commitment to building artists into complete brands and businesses.

“This is bigger than just signing a record deal for me. Reallionaire understands the vision, the music, the visuals, the business and everything we’re building around it.”
