We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Fat Dreadz. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Fat below.
Fat , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Did you always know you wanted to pursue a creative or artistic career? When did you first know?
This is a great question because I always knew there was something more to myself. I was always the funny kid growing up but It’s like as a kid you’re just being you and you’re not really caring about what’s going on but as you grow older you notice you can make a living off just being entertaining and that’s something you can’t take for granted. But I started taking music seriously in 2018 after I dropped out of college I made songs from then and all of 2019 and then eventually released my first project “Luv2gethigh” in 2020 for my YouTube Journey I’ve always uploaded as a kid but never took it was serious but it’s crazy because I have quit YouTube like 4 times and came back but its time now to show the world everything Fat Dreadz has to offer.
Fat , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I’ve always been a music head as a kid so it makes sense that I make music now but I never actually knew I would be doing this. I got into making music because one of my best friends started and we were supposed to make music together but I folded and it never worked out. Fast forward to 2023, it’s what I do full time now so it’s crazy how life works out sometimes but I think for me I’m just a full-time entertainer no matter the circumstances.
I am a full-time entertainer dealing with music, vlogs, live streams all of the above and I love it some people like to stick to one thing but with me, I’m into so many things, and in 2023 it’s okay for that. Never think you have to keep yourself in a box to please the next person.
I think my message to the people is to just show that if I can do it you can also. Don’t feel jaded about your dreams because they don’t see the vision, as long as you can see the vision then do everything in your power to make that vision a reality. Hard work beats talent i want people to always remember that. With that being said I also want people to be on the lookout for all of Fat Dreadz’s music dropping in 2024 It is time to take it up a notch!
Also, be sure to stream my most recent project “Bad Boy Sad Boy” out now on all platforms. It’s an 8 song project that has an iconic flow while letting out all his emotions in prior situations throughout his life I’m sure you will love it.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
I think for me it’s rewarding when people actually acknowledge the hard work you put in because it’s times u go so hard and people won’t say a single thing so when it does get recognized randomly you’re like wow you saw that? or you actually listened? it’s a warm feeling especially if they say you helped them in a time of need and you had no idea you could even have that effect on people. It kind of makes you look at your entire process differently after you experience something like that.
What can society do to ensure an environment that’s helpful to artists and creatives?
Honestly, it takes $0.00 to support an artist. A like is free, a share is free, and telling somebody about it is free. Those 3 things right there tremendously help and you spent no money. There are enough people in the world and there is enough money in the world for us all to chase the dreams we have and put them out there for the world to see.
