Our TapSongz Team continues to scour the internet for the next up and coming talent. We recently came across talented DJ Fabrizio, out of Boyds, Maryland, a suburb of Washington D.C. We had the chance to catch up with the rising artist to learn more about his latest project and plans for the rest of the year.
Growing up, Fabrizio was a big fan of Avicii. "I've gone in and out of phases which means cycling through tons of genres and finding favorites within each of those. I was obsessed with EDM and at the time Avicii was one of the biggest DJ's. I fell in love with his music with my favorites being 'Blessed' and 'Dear Boy", Fabrizio told our TapSongz Team.
Fabrizio's passion for music grew and he began creating weekly mixes for his friends to listen to. "It felt amazing to see how much joy I could give my friends through music," he recalled. "It was this time of self-exploration through my production that really pushed me to want to pursue music." Fast forward to today and Fabrizio has made quite some progress having released dozens of tracks on SoundCloud and recently releasing a fresh new project "Wave of Grey".
The young artist says the new album took a year and a half to complete, but the sound is incredible and we think you'll enjoy giving it a listen. "It began as a very melodic pop album and slowly began to transform itself into this hip-hop infused electronic album. This had to do with my well being in general," Fabrizio told our TapSongz Team. The electronic artist started the album last March and was in a happy phase. He soon went through depression and Fabrizio notes how this changed his state of mind and music. "I realized that I had been here before, I had felt this way before, and I had gone in and out of happiness and depression for a while. It was hitting me in waves on and off for the past few years of my life, hence why I named the album "Wave of Grey", Fabrizio said.
Our TapSongz Team was deeply impressed with the new album as it has a little flavor for everyone. We love the combination of electronic vibes with a sense of hip-hop added into the mix. A fan favorite on the album is "Lose My Mind", a super chill track that has an awesome beat. The track allows you to get lost with good feels, reminding our team of early Odesza. "I actually wrote the track a week before I released it. I was feeling really restless this one night and was up until about 5 am. I just started messing around on my piano and came up with this really simple 2 chord melody that just felt like explained 6 months of my life," Fabrizio said. "I then pieced together these hard hitting kick drums and snares and then a bass with a little bounce to give the song some funk. I then used my vocal sampler to put together the vocals you here throughout the beat," he added. Definitely an awesome track be sure to give it a listen below!
Heading into the rest of 2017 there is still plenty on Fabrizio's plate as he hopes to continue to accomplish a lot. "I want to learn and grow as much as possible in many aspects of my life, not just in music and more importantly to understand myself as best as possible. In terms of music, I just hope I can get listeners to connect with the message and the vibe of the album, both Part 1 and Part 2 when it releases." We encourage all of our viewers to support Fabrizio by following him on social media and giving his new album "Wave of Grey" a listen! Keep an eye out for "Wave of Grey" Part 2 as we can't wait to hear the follow up to the album! Big things are ahead for Fabrizio and it is only a matter of time before he reaches the next level and his audience grows.
