A lot of rappers talk about being a boss, but Pierre Bless ticks on his own time on his own clock.
Peter Bowden Jr, born in Nuremberg Germany, and raised in Albemarle North Carolina home, migrated to the United States at the young age of two. Now residing in the vicinity of Charlotte North Carolina, he continues to grow his already buzzing career as an artist under the rap moniker Pierre Bless. His stage name that fans have grown accustomed to, was from a place of divine inception. Peter is a man with a deep attraction and connection to energy. Combining that with his younger brother’s middle name, Pierre, his alias was born. Since then he has been on the grind, chiseling his craft down to peak performance in the booth. The discipline and passion Pierre has towards his grind have put him in a position where independent artists strive for daily. Pierre keeps his pen game sharp, and his wit on point, always pushing his limits and overcoming the bar once held in his previous releases.
Pierre wasn’t always the hip-hop specialist of the new wave. His discovery for his abilities over a beat first became known in the 7th grade. Chilling and having fun, turned into what lead to Peter, becoming Pierre Bless, when his friend began beatboxing on the classroom table. Pierre, attracted by the infectious beat, started freestyling, and at an age so youthful, the room was left speechless. Even Pierre was in amazement at the level of lyricism he displayed off the top of the dome. At the age of twelve, Pierre immersed himself deeper into the world of hip-hop, aiming to explore the dream of becoming an established rapper.
Inspired by some of hip-hop’s greatest to ever touch the mic, Pierre’s influences come from legends like Mase and Nas, not only for the lyricism to which their skills are set, but also the cadence and confidence behind every delivery.

With a clear sense of thought, Pierre keeps his focus centered upon his goal, to be respected and have acclaim like those that inspire him in the music world.

He has not only interacted with high list artists but opened and performed for mainstream talents like 2 Chainz, BOB, and the polarizing Young Thug.
