POCAHONTAS MUSIC: THE OFFICIAL EDITORIAL

In an industry where fame is currency and faces sell records, the truth often remains buried behind studio doors. But now, Grammy-nominated artist and songwriter Pocahontas Music is stepping into the light with her groundbreaking book, Ghostwriting for Royalty: The Secrets of Crafting Hits for Pop Princesses and Cuddly Canadian Icons.

This compelling new release dives deep into the invisible labor behind chart-topping songs—where brilliant melodies, punchy lyrics, and unforgettable hooks are often birthed by writers whose names never grace the credits. Pocahontas Music, whose pen has shaped the sounds of stars like Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, and Beyoncé, shares the raw, unfiltered reality of life behind the music.

Behind Every Hit, A Hidden Hand

In Ghostwriting for Royalty, Pocahontas gives readers a front-row seat to the creative process of building global hits from scratch. More than just a memoir, the book is a detailed guide to the business and craft of ghostwriting—one that many industry insiders have deliberately kept under wraps.

With writing credits across powerhouse labels such as RCA, Epic, Warner, Republic, Universal, and Columbia Records, Pocahontas pulls from over a decade of experience to expose how songs are sculpted in silence—while others take center stage.

“Most fans have no idea who really wrote the songs they love,” Pocahontas shares. “This book is for the writers like me—those who gave the world their words and melodies but never got the spotlight.”

A Story of Survival and Success

Perhaps the most powerful element of the book is Pocahontas Music’s personal journey. Forced into the industry at a young age, exploited for her talent, and often homeless while helping others climb the charts, her resilience is stitched into every page. Even as the world danced to her words, she was often left uncredited, underpaid, or unseen.

Today, she’s reclaiming her story and giving others the tools to do the same.

“I wrote for some of the most famous voices in music while silently struggling just to survive,” she reveals. “Now, I want other writers to thrive—and be recognized—for their brilliance.”

For every artist who’s ever ghostwritten in the dark—this is your moment to be seen.

When you hear the name Pocahontas Music, it often echoes with the sound of award-winning songwriting, fierce vocal delivery, and an unstoppable entrepreneurial spirit. But long before she became a musical powerhouse and global creative brand, she was already lighting up the screen—before she even knew how to speak in full sentences. Yes, the story of Pocahontas Music begins in front of a camera, not behind a mic.

Born in 1993 and entering the entertainment world at just two years old, Pocahontas was cast in her first commercial in 1995—a shampoo advertisement that aired nationally and marked the start of a lifelong journey in front of the lens. Raised in Brooklyn, New York, her natural charisma, expressive eyes, and infectious energy caught the attention of casting directors and modeling scouts across the East Coast.

A Childhood Built on Stage Lights and Studio Sets

From shampoo bottles to children’s toys, Pocahontas became a familiar face to many households during the golden age of televised toy ads and glossy print campaigns. As a print model, she appeared in promotional material for children’s brands and catalogues, often styled in the era’s bold colors and bubble-gum smiles. But modeling was just one avenue—acting quickly became her dominant lane.

She worked steadily as a background actor in beloved children’s classics, including multiple appearances on Barney & Friends, where she played one of the joyful children laughing, dancing, and learning life lessons alongside the purple dinosaur. Her portfolio expanded with roles in Disney Channel TV shows and original movies, where she blended seamlessly into crowd scenes, school hallways, and classroom episodes filmed in and around New York, Virginia, Maryland and Florida.

Beyond mainstream sets, Pocahontas also lent her presence to independent films, balancing early fame with the normalcy of childhood. Her adaptability on camera—whether in fantasy productions or family-centered dramas—earned her representation from a lineup of prestigious talent and modeling agencies throughout her youth and teen years. These included:

– Barbizon Modeling and Acting School

– BNA Talent Group

– Liquid Talent Agency

– Starz2Be Agency

– Alima Industries

– Studio Ninetytwo

– Backstage

Each agency recognized her potential not just as a photogenic child, but as a multi-dimensional talent capable of both silent performance and expressive dialogue. These connections opened the door to castings that allowed her to build a resume stacked with credits long before adulthood.

From the Past to the Present: Harriet and Beyond

Pocahontas’s love for storytelling and raw emotional depth didn’t fade with time—it matured. One of her most notable recent credits includes a role in the acclaimed film “Harriet” (2019), the biographical drama about the life of Harriet Tubman. Though her role was subtle, it marked a full-circle moment—an actress who had grown from commercials and children’s television now participating in a film with deep cultural and historical impact.

And while her music career has since taken center stage, Pocahontas has continued to merge her visual presence with her personal journey.

A New Generation on Screen

In a poetic extension of her legacy, Pocahontas recently shared the screen in a global hospital campaign—this time with her youngest daughter. The commercial, which aired internationally as part of a healthcare and family wellness awareness initiative, featured tender mother-daughter moments that moved audiences and highlighted the importance of generational healing and maternal love. It wasn’t just a campaign—it was a milestone: the evolution of an artist, mother, and performer being passed down with intention.

The Legacy Behind the Lens

Now, as she dominates in the music industry and builds an empire across fashion, media, and film, Pocahontas Music’s acting journey serves as the unspoken backbone of her artistry. Every stage she commands, every lyric she pens, and every campaign she leads is deeply informed by the decades she spent learning how to tell stories without words—just presence.

From Barney to Billboard, shampoo to songwriting, Pocahontas Music’s screen legacy proves that some stars aren’t made—they’re born in front of the camera and destined to rise.

In an industry where silence often cloaks the truth behind our favorite songs, one name is steadily breaking through the shadows—Pocahontas Music, a Grammy-recognized ghostwriter whose pen helped shape one of Doja Cat’s most iconic tracks: “Streets.”

While “Streets” became a viral sensation, soundtracking millions of TikToks and climbing global charts, few knew that its emotional pulse was rooted in the pen and voice of Pocahontas Music, an independent artist and songwriter whose journey to that moment was anything but conventional.

According to official documentation verified by RCA Records and seen in an attached certificate from The Recording Academy, Pocahontas Music was a credited ghostwriter for “Streets,” earning acknowledgment from the Grammy Awards for her behind-the-scenes contribution.

The story began when Peter Edge, CEO of RCA Records, came across a collection of demo recordings submitted by Pocahontas Music’s former agent. Impressed by her unique sound and lyrical depth, Edge personally reached out to her with a creative request: to write and record a demo for a new track they were developing for Doja Cat.

Following this, Edge’s legal team drafted a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to protect the integrity of the project—a move that signaled just how serious RCA was about keeping the collaboration under wraps until the time was right. The contractual paperwork outlines the terms under which Pocahontas Music would contribute her writing and vocal work to the song.

What many fans don’t realize is that Pocahontas’s vocals were used as backing vocals on the final version of “Streets”—a subtle, haunting layer that still echoes through the production. Her influence wasn’t just lyrical; it was sonic, emotional, and vital.

This isn’t just a claim—it’s backed by legitimate, verifiable proof from RCA Records and The Recording Academy itself. The certificate, emblazoned with the iconic golden gramophone, explicitly recognizes Pocahontas Music for her participation as a ghostwriter on a Grammy Award-nominated recording.

While ghostwriters often remain in the background, Pocahontas Music is stepping into the light—not to boast, but to inspire. Her story is a reminder that sometimes the most powerful voices are the ones you’ve been hearing all along without knowing their name.

Legitimacy. Talent. Recognition. The truth behind “Streets” is out—and Pocahontas Music wrote it.

In an unexpected cross-genre move, Grammy‑nominated writer and vocal artist Pocahontas Music has entered a creative partnership with celebrated German composer Rüdiger Gleisberg, whose orchestral work has been featured in high-profile Hollywood films—most notably the Blade franchise  .

Gleisberg’s reputation extends far beyond vampire noir. Since the late 1980s, he’s built a career in symphonic and instrumental scoring, crafting emotive soundscapes for nature documentaries, TV series, and feature films. His recent projects include original soundtracks such as Fernherrlichkeit and Filmmusic II, which showcase his distinctive blend of orchestral richness and cinematic depth  .

Now, with Pocahontas Music’s bold shift into full authorship, the collaborator known for genre‑hopping hits is set to merge pop sensibilities with cinematic grandeur. While details of the project remain under wraps, insiders say the music will feature a dynamic fusion of orchestral textures with the raw lyricism and vocal intensity that defines Pocahontas Music’s style.

Industry observers are buzzing: this isn’t a typical pop-crossover. It’s being called a pioneering venture—not just blending worlds, but redefining them. As Gleisberg said in a recent in-depth interview, “When the chemistry is right between director and musician, great moments of cinematic art can arise”  .

The collaboration aligns with a broader trend in music-making: genre-agnostic partnerships that blur lines between mainstream and cinematic composition. But few projects promise the emotional heft of this one—a pop‑informed archive artist working with a composer whose work scored Blade, a franchise synonymous with hybrid soundtracks combining hip‑hop, orchestral drama, and industrial edge.

Sources inside the music camp describe recording sessions taking place in Germany in early summer 2025, with both artists sharing mutual admiration. Gleisberg’s ability to balance “traditional composition and sound collages”  reportedly adds unexpected depth to Pocahontas Music’s storytelling style—an evolution from lyric‑driven ghostwriting to soundtrack‑level orchestration.

Though no release date has been announced, speculation is strong that a lead single—possibly a dramatic reinterpretation of one of Pocahontas Music’s upcoming tracks—could arrive this fall, coinciding with a larger rollout tied to her upcoming memoir Black Sheep: The Truth They Tried to Bury.

Whether this is the start of a larger artistic movement or a one-off experiment, one thing is clear: when the universe of pop songwriting and cinematic orchestration collide, the result can be nothing short of spectacular.

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.
