Staudt is an American rapper, singer, and producer from the small town of Guthrie, Oklahoma. The second oldest of nine siblings, Staudt has always dreamed of being something bigger than his humble beginnings. 

After graduating from the University of Central Oklahoma with a vocal performance degree, Staudt first moved to Oklahoma City to start chasing his dream of being a musician. Writing primarily acoustic-indie music at first, Staudt started to release and perform his new music throughout the OKC metro and beyond.

Once the pandemic started to take hold, Staudt decided to shift direction from acoustic jams and ballads, to a more expansive blend of styles including Hip-Hop, Pop, Funk, and Metal. Staudt spent those two years teaching himself production and recording techniques that he still uses to this day.

With the pandemic passed and the world blooming again, Staudt realized that his passions had outgrown his home and that something had to change.

He made the trip from Oklahoma to San Diego California, like those Oklahomans before him, searching for greener pastures and greater opportunity.

His most recent release Diego chronicles his journey and time in San Diego. It begins with his departure from home in "Grapes of Wrath", and follows his time spent in the America's finest city. From love found in "First Floor", to love lost in "How it goes//End of an Era", with fun, doubts, and hijinks in between.

"You don’t know me now but I’m hitting the scene. Moved to Diego, down by the border. My shit is fuego, made fresh to order. Cali burritos and mountains of ass. I’m feeling that heat and I’m having a blast" - Diego
