Fugative

Fugative blasted on to the music platform in early 2008, with his massive hit, ‘It’s Summertime’, at an unprecedented pace from absolutely no-where. So much so, that not only did the song shoot straight in, with a bullet at No 2 in the music urban charts, it went on to sustain the No.5 position for the next 16 weeks throughout the UK, which created an immediate overnight fan-base and grabbed the amazed interest of Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw, resulting in a studio interview at Radio 1 with him, and leading to Fugative opening up their Switch Summer Road Show.

The huge fan-base that Fugative has acquired has been done before any full radio play. Fugative’s music genre is of his own invention – ‘Hip-Pop’, a unique and new category of music, as he quotes …“Hip-Hop…with commercial Pop twist”!

Always the pioneer, Fugative is not only the artist, but also the songwriter and the producer of his own material. Couple this with his very own production label, Runaway Productions and record label, to boot; he is in a league of his own.

‘Jimmy Shoe’ is the new long-awaited single, with the video recently being shot by video director, ‘Mo’, together with a film documentary of it’s name sake! The video is hooked on to a massive UK National Tour, which Fugative embarks on in February 2009, and which will be supporting the song’s release in early February.

Currently, alongside all of this, Fugative is also headlining an array of Luminar’s UKCC Liquid & Envy venues, and creating mass-hysteria, with girls queuing after the shows for autographs. Fugative has also been diligently collaborating with various artists and producers, just now, completing another track of the Fugative ‘magic’, for his debut album, already near completion ‘Ain’t No Going Home’ his music storyboard.

Fugative’s early visits to studios at and witnessing artists at play, there, at the age of seven, kick-started his passion for making music. Seven years later, having sacrificed his adolescent years, he chose to serve a long apprenticeship, which now makes him master of the studio and of the pen, the two tools which have assisted him in his additional attributes of song-writer and producer. The keyboard, being his instrument tool, makes up the set.

Fugative’s influences have not only just come from today’s artists, such as Pharrell, Kayne West, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, and Akon, to name but a few, from his generation, so it may be surprisingly to know that he has also been greatly inspired , as importantly also by the record companies that introduced the artists, such as Motown, Stax, and Atlantic, as the earlier legendary American soul legends, such as Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Bobby Bland, Bobby Wonder, Stevie Wonder, and most importantly, Marvin Gaye; having grown up around all of this from a very small child. It is somewhat uncanny, now, to note, that Fugative is currently in the midst of concluding a music partnership with one of America’s supreme music moguls and founder of some of the biggest names in music history, who had originally inspired, and created Fugative’s driving force to choose his music path, and now have given him the passport to takeover the road, and continue, as one of the new music pioneer youths, to continue the great legacy, today, which they left behind. This will be announced in early 2009.
