Biography and Career
Proppa grew up in Chicago, where house and hip-hop shaped his earliest influences. He learned multiple instruments before moving into beatmaking, giving him a strong musical foundation. While studying Recording Industry Studies at Butler University, he honed a heavier, bass-driven style that pulled from both Midwest rhythms and Chicago’s club roots.
His first major performance came at Mojostock Music Festival in Indianapolis, a breakthrough that showcased the energy of his sound on stage. From there, he developed the “Proppa Treatment”—a remix approach that reimagines tracks into bass-forward club anthems.
Today, Proppa’s style bridges house, bass, and underground club music, making him one of the Midwest’s rising electronic names. To understand the culture behind his sound, check our guide on what house music is and the EDM subgenres guide.
