An ambitious Brooklyn artist, FaFa, shocked many people with his debut Stuart Little in 2020; quickly earning thousands of listeners nationally throughout the U.S. With an EP in the works, FaFa is an artist to look out for. FaFa was born as Faris Sanguil Rassac in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, New York. He got his first sketchbook in the 5th grade, in his local 99 cent store. He would draw in the first half of the notebook, reserving the second half for poetry. He created stories with characters mirroring people in his life. He wrote about the struggles his mother faced; being a single mother, working two jobs to pay for his and his siblings schooling, and doing all else that she could to be able to provide for her children. This created an increasing hunger to bring his family success, promising to never rely or wait on anyone to achieve his goals. When his Godfather passed away with sickle cell anemia, FaFa lost motivation to write. He started using music created by others to cope with the loss of his father figure in his life by appreciating a variety of different sounds from many different artists. Senior year of high school, he and his friends went to a studio in Brooklyn. That day he spent exploring adlibs and putting together some rhymes with his friends, bringing back a desire to create music. FaFa would find himself constantly writing in class. It was then that he realized that he had to take music seriously, telling a new story with each song.
Music is my first love. It is my therapy and gives me a way to connect with the outside world.
My dream is to get to a point in life where my entire family can live as they please and deserve.

Shoutout the brooklyn drill scene as well as the uk music scene for pioneering the majority of the flows rappers use today.
What inspires me to make music is my drive to outdo my last performance.
I want anyone with a passion to understand that not many people will understand what you have until you believe in it yourself.
When I perform in front of an audience, I feel whatever the audience is feeling, so I try to just vibe.
I have always seen the reality of a musicias as follows: If you put the work in and act on it, you will see results.
Drooble is very efficient and user-friendly. Reccomend fosho.
What frustrates me most is seeing music not being appreciated as an art.
I often attend local shows and support my fellow friends and musicians as they perform.
Nowadays as a musician you need to be able to take criticism. If you go around thinking your work is the best, you will never have room to improve. Also in order to reach a larger audience you have to build an audience of loyal supporters.
