Stay Puff is the brainchild of New Orleans bass player Jake Brigell. Born in the 80s, the moniker was graciously given to him by kids on a grade school playground as a constant reminder of how similar his visage was to a certain giant marshmallow man from the 1984 smash hit Ghostbusters. Jake eventually grew into this appellation after hearing Biggie’s bellicose flow. 

​

Coming of age in the 90s Jake listened to all the pop rap at the time. Dr Dre, JayZ, Biggie, Nas, 2pac, Snoop, Bone Thugz N Harmony just to name a few. Later, in the early 2000’s, conscious rap became his thing. Artists such as: All Natural, Common, Atmosphere, A Tribe Called Quest, The Pharcyde, Talib Kweli, Jurrassic 5.

If its 90’s rap, Jake will mess with it. His show is an impressive mix of one man band (live looping all instruments) and compelling performance. You would never expect him to do it, but Jake rocks that mic.
