Music isn’t just entertainment for FATBOY OFFGLASS—it’s a deeply personal medium through which he shares life’s joys, hardships, and revelations. For him, every track is a transparent window into his experiences, emotions, and philosophies, shaped by the belief that if you’re living life, you’ll find something to love in his music. From uplifting party anthems to introspective ballads, FATBOY OFFGLASS aims to bring people together, spark inspiration, and provide solace through the unifying power of sound.
A Transparent Musical Mission
Growing up, FATBOY OFFGLASS channeled every personal struggle and triumph into his music. “If you’re living life, you’re going to love my music,” he says. This outlook drives him to explore heartbreak, hope, ambition, and community within his lyrics. While many of his songs focus on emotional ups and downs, he also produces feel-good music for the club, romantic tracks, and inspiring tunes that celebrate personal growth.
“I have good vibe music that’s uplifting—club music, relaxing music, romantic music. My catalog is very diverse,” he explains. In other words, no matter what you’re going through, FATBOY OFFGLASS wants his listeners to feel seen and understood.
The Power to Uplift and Unite
Central to FATBOY OFFGLASS’s philosophy is music’s power to bring people together—particularly in times of struggle. From anthems like James Brown’s “I’m Black and I’m Proud,” which offered hope and unity to African Americans, to gospel songs that console believers, music transcends boundaries. “Music always brings people together. It’s a common medium—if you feel it emotionally, you automatically connect,” he says.
This belief extends to his own work. He sees his role as a bridge-builder, using rhythm and melody to unite individuals from different walks of life. He’s convinced that when we relate to the same vibrations, we draw closer in understanding and empathy.
A Global Connection
One particularly moving experience showed FATBOY OFFGLASS just how far-reaching his music could be. “I got a message on ReverbNation from a fan overseas,” he recalls. “He told me he and his roommate, who are in a health home and disabled, listen to my music all the time to help them cope with life. All he wanted was an autograph and a picture to put on the wall.”
That moment underscored the real influence his songs can have, even for listeners in vastly different circumstances. “I’m not even big,” he reflects. “I never thought I could create such a big impact that someone who’s not even from where I’m from loves my music so much. It gets him through his day.” For FATBOY OFFGLASS, this was the realization that he and his fans are simply humans living life—bound by shared struggles and the music that helps us endure.
The Creative Process: Growth & Development
He’s been making music “since a jit ,” guided by his raw emotions in the studio. Yet over time, he’s become more intentional: “I still approach it based on how I feel, but now I’m more aware that I can take a situation from my life and heal someone’s relationship or spark new thoughts.”
This evolution stems from his growing sense of responsibility. A single track, he notes, can encourage pride in one’s community or kindle a new partnership that furthers economic or spiritual growth. Whether diving into heavier issues or focusing on uplifting themes, FATBOY OFFGLASS understands that music can genuinely shift perspectives.
Healing Through Vibration
When asked if music can be a tool for healing, reconciliation, or unity, FATBOY OFFGLASS offers a resounding yes. “It definitely does serve as a form of healing,” he states. Yet he also recognizes that listeners must be ready to receive it: “Some might not be ready; some will, but both will feel the vibrations and emotions from the music.” Healing has its own timeline, and music—being timeless—can wait for those who need it.
Community, Respect, and Unity
Community is woven into everything FATBOY OFFGLASS creates. His songs frequently champion unity, encouraging listeners from different street organizations or neighborhoods to see themselves as part of a shared human story. “I’ve always been on that type of timing: coming together, pushing peace,” he says. While he stands firmly on principles of respect and accountability, he aims to foster growth and development—both for himself and the communities he influences, often unknowingly.
His biggest personal influence is simply the process of growing and developing as a man—someone striving for a better life for himself, those around him, and the neighborhood he calls home. “I lead with respect and stand on principles as a man first,” he affirms, a sentiment that resonates in his lyrics and interactions alike.
Music for Life
For FATBOY OFFGLASS, music is more than a career. It’s an evolving conversation about life’s complexity, triumphs, and lessons. Whether he’s challenging you to dance, reflect on your goals, or heal a broken relationship, his music is designed to speak to all who choose to live with open hearts.
“If you’re living life, you’re going to love my music,” he repeats—a statement that captures the essence of his inclusive, deeply human approach. And as long as there are people in need of uplifting rhythms or heartfelt lines, FATBOY OFFGLASS will be there, turning his own story into sound, ready to be felt by anyone who tunes in.
