 Pofsky: The 805 Underdog Turning Pressure into Power

In the heart of the 805, where laid-back vibes meet raw ambition, an artist named Pofsky has been carving out his lane with undeniable energy and authenticity. Raised “from the area,” Pofsky’s journey into music wasn’t a calculated business move, it was a calling. It started with a guitar, shifted into rap, and evolved into the hybrid artistry he’s known for today: part singer, part rapper, all heart.

He began taking rap seriously at just 14 years old, but like many artists, self-doubt and external pressures made him press pause. Still, the pull was too strong. By 17, Pofsky was back, messaging people on Facebook, chasing studio time, and putting his vision into motion. He even shot his first music video while still in high school, proving his grind was more than a phase,it was a lifestyle.


Though his name is still buzzing in the underground, his experiences read like someone already in the game. Touring with Steven G. opened his eyes. Getting the co-sign and connection through Eric Bellinger. Life-changing. From sharing stages with BlueBucksClan, AZ Chike, 03 Greedo, Kamaiyah, and Kalan.FrFr, to collaborating with visionaries like Andrew who helped bring him into the spotlight—Pofsky’s story is one of consistency, connection, and quiet confidence.

Now, with a new solo album on the horizon, featuring production from none other than Zaytoven, Pofsky is sharpening his tools, preparing for a new chapter. It’s more than music for him, it’s about legacy, impact, and evolution. He’s gone from a kid dreaming of being on album covers to becoming the artist you’ll see on them.

805 might be where it started. But the world? That’s where Pofsky is headed.
