Chris Pearl

Chris Pearl – Artist Bio Chris Pearl is a Florida country rap artist and producer and founder of the Dirty South Mud Riders (DSMR) movement based in Brevard County, Florida Originally from West Palm Beach, Florida, Pearl grew up surrounded by music. His mother was a folk and blues musician who performed on stages like SunFest, and as a kid he spent countless hours watching her perform and record in studios, fascinated by the soundboards, instruments, and everything behind the music. Music has always been in his DNA—his father was a drummer who passed away when Chris was nine years old. Before launching his current artist career, Pearl spent over a decade in the West Palm Beach music scene. He operated a recording studio called UAG (Urban American Group) under the label Streetlight Entertainment, working as a producer and recording engineer with hundreds of local artists including Suave Smooth, Bootleg, Triple J, Vandam Bodyslam, Don Macki, Sandcastle Empire Ent, Uro Major Liqz and Castro Beats. After moving to Brevard County, Pearl founded Dirty South Mud Riders, a community centered around ATV riding, trucks and Florida mud culture that quickly grew into a movement. Seeing the passion of the scene, Pearl began blending his music with the culture, creating a sound that represents Florida’s backwoods lifestyle. His song “Born & Raised,” featuring FJ Outlaw, celebrates Florida roots, mud culture, and Southern pride.
