"I'LL DISAPPOINT YOU IF YOU EXPECT ME TO TALK ABOUT GUNS, BEEF AND HOES." "CRITICS HAVE DESCRIBED HIM AS A THINKING PERSONS EMINEM".
Why this name?
It's a name that my friends came up wit. I asked them to listen to my raps and see what comes to mind. I lot of people said it was very deep, on a level not many are on. So i thought about what is another way of saying deep. It had to reflect me as a person. So Fathomless came about. The one is just stating I'm the only one doing wat i'm doing. Nobody thinks the way i do.
Do you play live?
Yeah I perform live on a weekly basis, sometimes just the once. Sometimes its several times a week. I believe it's important to keep doing live sow because you learn how to captivate an audience. It harder as a rapper to keep people involved and engaged in what you have to say.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think it has helped music become more powerful then it already was. It's about convenience. People don't need to walk all the way to the record store to buy your stuff, you can go online and get it instantly at the touch of a button. The only problem is that there are possibilities that your stuff can leak and costs music industry millions.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
At this moment and time my commitment is with Raskil Records. I believe we ave the resources to be a force in music, and I'm happy to be a part of it.
Band History:
"I'LL DISAPPOINT YOU IF YOU EXPECT ME TO TALK ABOUT GUNS, BEEF AND HOES." FATHOMLESS STATES. AND THAT IS EXACTLY HOW IT IS. FATHOMLESS HAS BEEN RAPPING FOR AS LONG AS HE REMEMBERS. ORIGINALLY A SINGER SONGWRITER, HE TURNED HIS SKILLS TO POETRY. FROM THERE HE FELL IN LOVE WITH THE HIP HOP CULTURE. A KEEN BREAK/STREET DANCER HE USED HIS SKILLS TO TEACH DANCE AND SPENT MANY YEARS WORKING ON DJ-ING. HE WAS EXPOSED TO MANY SOUNDSAS A CHILD INCLUDING SOUL, REGGAE, CALYPSO AND SOCA DUE TO HIS CARIBBEAN BACKGROUND. HE USES HIS UNIQUE FLOW AND HARD HITTING LYRICS TO PORTRAY A REALISTIC, POSITIVE AND UPLIFTING LOOK AT WHAT'S REALLY GOIN DOWN ON THE STREETS. HE HAS PERFORMED IN MANY TALENT SHOWS AND OTHER EVENTS WHICH CONVINCED HIM TO TAKE MUSIC SERIOUSLY. "CRITICS HAVE DESCRIBED HIM AS A THINKING PERSONS EMINEM". IN RESPONSE TO SUCH A HUGE COMPARISON HE SAYS "I'LL LEAVE YOU TO BE THE JUDGE OF THAT". WHATS NEXT FOR FATHOMLESS ONE? WELL IN THE SUMMER OF 2007 FATHOMLESS SIGNED A RECORD DEAL WITH RASKIL RECORDS A SOUTH LONDON BASED INDEPENDANT LABEL. UPCOMING PROJECTS INCLUDE HIS ALBUM AND MIXTAPE SERIES WHICH ARE ALL DUE FOR RELEASE EARLY 2008. ALSO GUEST COLLABORATIONS AND MUSIC VIDEOS ARE ON THE CARDS. KEEP AN EYE AND AN EAR OUT FOR WHO IS CONSIDERED TO BE ONE OF THE UK'S HOTTEST TALENTS.
Your influences?
Musically my genre influences are Rap, RnB, Soul, Reggae, Soca, Calypso, Gospel.

In terms of who, theres way too many, but I am inspired by people who have something to say. 'Concious rappers' ie. Kanye West, Common, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Rhymefest and others.
Favorite spot?
Helsinki, Finland-Its in my roots. I love going there in the summer, just so much goes on musically then. Especially in terms of reggae music. So many festivals and stuff.
