Figua Da Vet
This is IllFigua Da Vet a simple man with a voice that I am glad I can use to tell the story of my history as I have lived it. I don't worry about fame, money or industry because if i did i wouldn't be able to putout the material I do to ensure my mental health is stable after the years and years of trauma so I WRITE....
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
born unwilling to live and yet here I am by the strength of God and Faith in the same I still am able to produce material that I believe speaks to not only myself in a therapeutic manner but I also know there is one other ear somewhere out there that can relate and know they aren't alone as they walk day by day knowing life is about that first breath and not the material the world makes us believe it is about for as it is given I am living proof it all can be taken and you will start from the bottom alone in human form unless you repent and ask for forgiveness and hope to be granted a second chance.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
several times all while on active duty mostly opening for the likes of Trina, Juvenile, T-Pain, Last Mr. Big, Maceo, Chyna Wyte and several other artist yet my decision to stay Navy and ensure i could retire with a guaranteed pension for life was more important at the time as I was married then and with 2 son's so the decision to stay Navy and not pursue a dream was hard but here I am.
Your musical influences
Music in general all aspects of the game, as I have aged I listen to more Jazz and classical music as it eases the soul but I grew up very eclectic and now have a liking to anyone who has a statement inside of the melodies used.
What equipment do you use?
M I C
Anything else?
This isn't a gimmick as I have been affiliated with this platform since 2004 where i started to purchase tracks from several of the most famous producers before they were household names and as it is a gift to have a voice it is also a curse because you live daily wondering what if. Now, i simply do this because I am retired retired and love it for what it did for me as a survival tool so I choose to give back.
