Pocahontas Music spotted attending the Harmonia Sound Summit
Few names are as quietly threaded through modern music as Pocahontas Music—a ghostwriter whose fingerprints stretch across R&B ballads, pop anthems, Afrobeat hooks, and genre-bending hits that have topped charts and scored soundtracks. Despite her creative reach, her name has rarely appeared in liner notes or award ceremonies. Until now, her work has been celebrated by everyone except the industry itself.
Long praised within production rooms and writer camps for her lyrical precision and emotional range, Pocahontas Music built a career that many artists have unknowingly leaned on. While the public associates certain hits with the voices that performed them, insiders know many of those stories were first told by her.
Ghostwriting, by its nature, is designed to disappear. But what happens when the ghost shapes an entire era of music? The new editorial platform dedicated to her life and work seeks to answer that question.
Pocahontas Music: The Official Editorial is now documenting the extensive scope of her contributions—from behind-the-scenes collaborations with major labels to commercial placements in campaigns for top global brands. One standout track, Catch Up On You, garnered widespread exposure after appearing in a Heinz Ketchup campaign—one of several high-profile syncs that further cemented her behind-the-curtain dominance.
But the platform doesn’t just list credits. It explores the structural erasure that often keeps Black women writers, particularly those navigating complex personal and professional trauma, from receiving rightful recognition. The site also delves into her early career beginnings, including how she was pushed into performance at a young age, and the years she spent homeless while still generating content for signed artists.
For industry professionals, the site offers an important case study in authorship ethics and the invisible labor that fuels commercial success. For fans, it provides a raw, unpolished look at a creative force who has never played by traditional rules, but whose influence continues to reverberate far beyond studio walls.
Pocahontas Music remains one of the most elusive names in songwriting, not by choice, but by design. The tide now turns as her work is finally being published, documented, and analyzed through her own lens—without the filters of marketing, PR, or industry agendas.
The ghost didn’t fade.
She was just waiting to be seen.
