REAL EYES
Biography
Eclectic Hip Hop with Truth for Lyrics
Colorful and electrifying like the vibrant hues of the
eras that raised him, the 80s and 90s birthed an entertainment force to
be reckoned with. “Those eras are very special to me because I belong to
those eras. There were so many aspects of life and music that were
being unapologetically explored and invented. There was a different
level of freedom available.”
Rapper, singer, songwriter, fatso™ is a fresh and
extraordinarily talented rising star in the field of entertainment. His
unexpected yet highly treasured honesty, intelligence and wit make him
an artist to watch in a sea of predictability and mediocrity. For fatso,
music is life and without it we cease to exist.
The music industry ushered in a new
level of musicianship when fatso assumed his place at the
table.
Music has always been the cornerstone of his being. “My father
has a record collection that garnered the attention of our local
newspaper, resulting in a featured article, and I can remember how on
Sundays and Saturdays we’d wake up to mom’s LPs while cleaning and
cooking. From there it just grew!” He began penning lyrics at 11 years
old, inspired by groups like, Another Bad Creation, The Boyz, Quo, Kriss
Kross, and Da Raskalz. With sights clearly focused on being a musical
performer, this disciplined youngster made his mark, beginning his
recording career at the ripe age of 13 and at the same time becoming a
published writer with BMI.
When one hears the name, fatso™,
conjured thoughts of playground taunting, sneers and jeers; and bearing
witness to the underdog finally having his day in the sun, make us
nostalgic for the simplicity of days gone by---the hard knocked
consequences of living and learning, birthing self-awareness,
self-acceptance, and the acknowledgment of others, flaws and all. As his
moniker suggests, fatso's personal journey of self-knowledge and
self-edification shine through in his music making this dynamic
entertainer accessible, necessary and relevant!
Fatso’s
major break came when he was almost signed to, hip hop group-Lost Boyz
frontmans’, Mr. Cheeks Entertainment imprint at the age of 16. However,
the agreement was compromised at the hands of former management. The
silver lining, fatso was featured on an independent
television show as the first artist of Mr. Cheeks Entertainment in
1997.
fatso™ has graced stages all
along the east coast. His high-wattage stage show shutting-down
non-assuming venues in his path. While his 1st major independent project
was a compilation CD, fatso has opened for many artists.
Some signed with major record companies including Carmon, D’wayne
Wiggins from (Tony, Toni, Toné), Ruff Endz, Cap One and Grenique. One
major highlight, his performance with Washington DC’s own Backyard Band
courtesy of Big G from HBO television series, The Wire.
When asked what next,
this young dynamo suggests complete song production and honing his
musicianship on the guitar and piano. The rare ability to see and speak
life as it is, while finding humor, simplicity and beauty in the truth,
makes fatso™ an avant-garde gourmet entrée in a stale
chicken-box world. “Show me one person that doesn’t listen to music and
I will show them pity.” --
