Poach Stevens the self proclaimed "blue collar poppin' average werkin' class joe" is anything but average. Often compared to Atmosphere and the Black Eye Peas, he bobs and weaves flawlessly around tracks with underground grit and pop sensibilities.Raised in Homewood, Pittsburgh, PA. until the age of 13 by a single father wavering in and out of sobriety, he has a clear and realistic understanding of the conflicts and frustrations of being born at the bottom rock. Moving to Richmond, CA. with his mother and step father showed him the importance of a stable, loving and hard working family. He brings his experiences to the mic with honesty, humor and conviction but never bitterness. He is an artist who cares about what is portrayed in his music but understands that most times the best therapy is to get the party jumping.Poach has opened for the RZA, Ghostface Killa, San Quinn, Company Flow and De La Soul, and has toured with the Handsome Boy Modeling School and was showcased along side the likes of Rass Kass, Eminem, Talib Kweli, Souls of Mischief, Thurstin' Howel the 3rd to name a few on the Lyricist Lounge tour. He has done frequent work with the Rondo Brothers, his vocal talents and songs used in commercials, movies and video games. He recently has worked on projects as both vocalist and producer with Bay Area heavy hitters J Stalin, Kaz Kyzah, Stevie Joe, Ike Dola (Keak Da Sneak's Farm Boyz) Tower, Ashkon, PZ and (Nas and Commons DJ) DJ Fresh.
