“It’s just about enjoying life...”
Growing up on the south side of Gautier, Asa Purnell learned early in life that true success isn’t just about putting music on streaming services. As he continues reaching new heights and setting tracks, he understands that the art of written and sung words is meant to inspire and uplift others.
“And that’s what ‘Thin Lines’ [his new album] is mainly about,” said Purnell, professionally known as Southside AP. “I touch on just living life and enjoying life, and I want to inspire everyone,” he added.
