Music is powerful. For centuries, it has been used to entertain, influence, inspire, and evoke emotions. The powerful effects of music still exist to date and have spurred many musical talents to take up the mantle of welding that power to make the world better. Brian Moragne, also known as Papi Versace, is one of those talents and has laid out a sequence of events to make his music seep through all the cracks and holes in the world and close them up.

Papi Versace is from Atlantic City, New Jersey, and he grew up listening to music from Hispanic, Brazilian, and African cultures, which shaped his musical style and sound. Even though he nursed the desire to become a musician, he didn’t take it seriously as a career until his 19th birthday, and since then, he’s been on a roll with it.

Papi Versace’s sound heavily relies on energy, and he always aims to radiate energy that is powerful enough to move his audience by carefully putting his lyrics and other musical elements together. Every song he released was made with the intention of making the listener feel some type of emotion and get them hooked to his style of music. His motivation to create music comes from his desire to become a powerful, influential figure to millions of people globally.

“I recognize the power of music and the responsibility that comes with having that power. So I want to acquire it and put it to good use by releasing music powerful enough to influence people globally,” Papi Versace shared. He believes the effect good music has on him can be replicated worldwide, and he has gotten in the driving seat to achieve that by creating music people can connect with.

Before music, Papi Versace sold pest control products door to door in Houston, Texas, but music took him off everything else to fulfill his dreams of impacting the world positively. He draws inspiration from iconic artists like Michael Jackson, Drake, Chris Brown and Asher and hopes to see his album or single hit the number one spot on national and global charts. He already has an album out and is currently working on a second album Visions II slated for release in March. He released the single “Commitment” on December 32, 2021, which he’s currently promoting and hopes people globally discover soon.

“The record is an R&B record that I enjoyed creating and is one of my favorite songs to make. I wanted to create something different from the typical club or twerk songs that people were used to. I hope people enjoy the tempo of this song,” he said.

Outside music, Papi Versace is an avid lover of photography and videography. He enjoys capturing moments and saving them for memory purposes. Alongside his music career, he puts in work to maintain personal relationships with his loved ones and relevant people in the music industry. One of his songs, “Vince Carter,” already amassed 100,000 streams on SoundCloud, and he looks forward to smashing more landmark records like that.

As he continues to work on his upcoming album, he hopes to connect with as many people as possible who have discovered his first album and gotten an idea of his talents and abilities.
