FaFa ThaKid

Story

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.
