The Fatboy

FAT is an award winning rapper and black illustrator born and raised in Greensboro, North Carolina. An oddly charming sonic mix of a cup of Rick Ross, with a tablespoon of Big K R.I.T and a dash of Little Brother. FAT started writing lyrics at the early age of ten years old as a way to express himself outwardly. "For a long time music was my journal". FAT makes music for those in touch with the human experience.


At age fifteen, with encouragement from numerous friends and peers, FAT embarked on his first studio session and on stage performance where he got his first taste of applause. FAT was hooked and his debut album "The Fatboy" would release on streaming sites a few years later.


Since then FAT has evolved as a rapper winning "Best Male Hip Hop" at the inaugural Bull City Music Awards, being nominated for "Male Hip Hop Artist of the Year" & "Male Artist of the Year" by the Featured Highlights Awards, and being nominated for "Best Music Video" at the Carolina Music Video Awards. One of his favorite achievements is launching "Jam Online Concert", a quarterly concert series giving other performing artists a platform to showcase their talents.


When FAT isnt building his brand he's a dedicated father of one who prides himself on being a craftsman, showman, and, most importantly, human.
