How it began
It started on a weekend when Dad and Doxie Din were watching a Metallica concert. Puppy Jay felt out of place, wandered into the basement and found a dusty box of old photos — and one mysterious vinyl record: “Für Elise”, composed by Doxie Din the Eighth. At least, that’s what the label said.
His rock’n’roll family tried to win him over to guitars and distortion, but his heart already belonged to the keys. When Dad saw him practicing on a keyboard made of cardboard, it touched his heavy-metal heart, and he bought Puppy Jay his very first piano.
Then came the lean years. When YouTube demonetized his brother’s channel by mistake, Puppy Jay’s paws on the keys were the family’s only income. He didn’t always bring much home, but his music never let them go hungry.
At a music conservatory he found a mentor and met Lady Suna, the shy, mysterious voice behind many of his tracks. It took him years to feel like an artist again — and when he did, he wrote his first real album, Paws on the Keys.
What Hollywoof says about his songs
Favorite song? “Wiener Warriors.” That track got me to the Everest summit. Twice!
My personal favorite? “Cosmic DJ”! It’s catchy, explosive… and it stays in your head for days.
It is genius. Undeniably! Especially the song “Evolution” — a bold musical thesis that humans actually evolved from dachshunds.
Honestly, I love them all. Except “Sharks in the Bay.” That one really put us sharks in a bad light…
No vampire tracks on the album? That is… a tragic oversight.
