Born and raised on the Westside of Detroit, Michigan, Hoodstars became a fan of music at a very young age. Listening to artists such as Young Jeezy, Gucci Mane, Lil’ Wayne, and a host of unsigned Detroit artists influenced two friends that blood couldn’t bring closer, David “Dangerous” Hill-Gray (17) and Darrien “Stomp” Harris (18), to pursue a career in music. Eager to begin there career without any official equipment Hoodstars began writing verses and recording on a MP3 player in the summer of 2005. After a few neighborhood friends gained interest in there music they decided to gather up the money to visit a neighborhood studio where they would record their first 8 songs. Now with their own studio in the basement they continue to make hit after hit with about 80 songs recorded. Gaining fame and making guest appearances on other local music artist’s songs, Hoodstars are slowly but surely on the rise. Music primarily influenced by the harsh life of poverty gives their fans something to relate to. Currently unsigned, Hoodstars have ambitions of becoming not only the best Detroit has to offer but the best the World can offer, viewing music as their life not as an occupation.
