Emerging from Connecticut’s underground hip-hop scene, TooFaced is an artist whose name reflects the duality of his music and persona. His sound is a captivating blend of eerie, haunted house beats with influences ranging from the dark energy of Suicide Boys to the timeless melodies of Frank Sinatra and even Elvis Presley. While his style may come across as spooky, TooFaced insists that it’s a reflection of his light-hearted approach to life’s ups and downs.
In his own words, TooFaced sees his music as a personal diary, each track a snapshot of his journey. Through his songs, he explores the emotions he’s experienced, the lessons he’s learned, and the direction he’s heading in. More than just music, his work encourages listeners to question their own truths and passions, a philosophy that resonates in every beat and lyric he produces.
His latest single, “Translucence,” takes a hard-hitting stance on the music industry, calling out the lack of authenticity he feels dominates mainstream music. TooFaced’s frustration with the industry’s inauthenticity is palpable in every line, yet his refusal to follow trends highlights his commitment to staying true to himself. His collaborations with like-minded artists such as ONI INC, BillSaber, TWENTYTHREE, DepthStrida, and Liltoe showcase his dedication to realness and authenticity.
Though his music may carry a dark aesthetic, TooFaced’s goal is to inspire his listeners to embrace their individuality. For him, music is more than a creative outlet—it’s a way to maintain his sense of self. His ultimate measure of success is not fame or fortune but the ability to make a living from his art, supporting his basic financial needs through his passion.
In a world where so many artists are pressured to conform, TooFaced stands out by staying grounded in his own truth and encouraging others to do the same.
