Introduction: BlackPearl504 is a world-renowned DJ, producer, musician, songwriter, and vocalist. Born and bred in the rhythmically rich New Orleans area, BlackPearl504 developed quite a name for himself in New York City's competitive music scene.
After touring nationally and internationally with Pimps of Joytime, he returned to New Orleans, the birthplace of modern American music, to launch his latest endeavor, GNO Sounds LLC (Greater New Orleans).
Inspired by the many ingredients of one of New Orleans' most popular dishes, File Gumbo, BlackPearl504 coined the term "File Beat" to describe the new New Orleans Bounce from this multicultural, multi-genre, and crowd-pleasing collective based in New Orleans with members around the world.
GNO Sounds LLC creates musical magic from the fusion of zydeco, bounce, blues, hip hop, brass band, jazz, Afro-beat, funk, soul, reggae, and rhythm and blues while maintaining the integrity of true basement hip hop.
This "File Beat", crafted by BlackPearl504, is the new bounce music that has risen to popularity in New Orleans and can be heard on any city street in the area.
