For Father, it all starts with art. Father

lived in small town Mississippi until he was ten, when his family

packed up the car for a oneway drive to Atlanta. In the fourteen

years, that Father's lived in Atlanta, he's lived all over the city,

from the westside to east side, where he currently resides. Just

four years ago, Father was in art school, where he met some

like­minded friends in his sculptor class. They decided to form a

creative media company, Awful Media Group. The collective

shot shorts, photography and were the first to curate events on

Edgewood, a now thriving music and bar scene in Atlanta.

Eventually, Father realized that he wanted to invest his creative

talents into himself. Since then he's released five projects:

Pretty Boy Satan, L1L DIDDY, Boys and Girls Club, Young Hot

Ebony, and Brawl, the latter a collaborative effort with Awful

Record's Rich Po Slim. To kick off the new year, Father is

currently supporting Theophilus London on his 17 ­city US

Spring tour and will be dropping his next EP, Who's Gonna Get

F***** First?, in March.
