On Tuesday, May 3, the Community Center for the Performing Arts proudly welcomes Pi’erre Bourne to the WOW Hall.Among iconic producer tags, “Yo, Pi’erre! You wanna come out here?” is perhaps the most popular. The clip was initially taken from The Jamie Foxx Show, but after Pi’erre Bourne used the line to introduce his beat on Playboi Carti’s 2017 smash “Magnolia”, Bourne became a household name on par with the superstar MCs he produced.
Born Jordan Timothy Jenks in 1993, Bourne is at the center of Atlanta’s rap landscape, but the Kansas-raised beatmaker got his start long before he introduced himself to the world on tracks for Trippie Redd and Young Nudy. “I was 10 or 11 when I started making beats. I thought it was like a game, but I figured it out quickly and became really hands-on,” he explained to Apple Music.
Bourne has always had an intuitive approach to beatmaking, taking great care to never overshadow the artists that he’s producing. Even on his debut studio album, The Life Of Pi’erre 4, Bourne often cedes the spotlight to the rappers he invites to spit over his beats.
Bourne has continuously racked up hits throughout his career, working with artists as diverse as 6ix9ine on “Gummo'' and Drake on the Carti-assisted “Pain 1993”. In March of 2021, Pi’erre won his first Grammy Award for his production work on Kanye West’s album, Jesus is King.
Despite this success, he keeps his focus on his grind, no matter how many fans know his tag by heart. “I’ve been on a mission,” he told Apple Music. “I like making beats because I can change my family’s life with this.”
On June 11, 2021, Jenks's second studio album, The Life of Pi’erre 5, was released by Interscope via Pi'erre's label imprint, SossHouse. The album is entirely produced by Bourne and includes features from Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti and Sharc.
Tickets are $25 in advance, $28 day of show. Doors open at 7:00 pm and showtime is 8:00
