I want to own my masters. That’s the main thing–owning all my music.
BRENT FAIYAZI want to own my masters. That’s the main thing–owning all my music.
BRENT FAIYAZI really just wanted to make something special for women. There aren’t enough records uplifting them out there.
BRENT FAIYAZI work while I’m on the move, so I’m able to book sessions in different cities.
BRENT FAIYAZThere’s the hype stuff that people love for five minutes and then there’s the stuff that changes cultures and shifts how you look at music. And then there’s that rare point where that hype stuff changes the game.

BRENT FAIYAZWhen you’re initially making music, you’re kind of just shooting at the air.
BRENT FAIYAZI’ve always felt like I was observing everything, like I’m just looking out of the window, peeping how everybody is living and just penning about it, so I made the album about that concept.
BRENT FAIYAZI got a dog and am trying to elevate. I’m working out, eating healthier, reading books. Making ‘Make it Out Alive’ is going to be a reflection of all of that.
BRENT FAIYAZIf you’re my woman, you’re somebody I give emotions to that I don’t give to nobody else. You’re my safe space. I don’t want my safe space to be compromised.

BRENT FAIYAZIf you tell somebody that you make music they’re all interested. But when you say you rap, they just start rolling their eyes at you. It would’ve taken me a lot longer to get my foot in the door if I’d continued rapping all the way.
BRENT FAIYAZI still got bars, I just use ’em differently. I’d say I’m a better singer than I am a rapper at this point because I’ve been sharpening my sword.
BRENT FAIYAZPeople will listen to a song and expect that you just have that persona on all the time. But really, that was your one outlet that one day to get that emotion out. The only difference was you put it on a canvas that’s going to be there forever.
BRENT FAIYAZI started off making beats when I was like 12. Then when I linked with people who make beats full time, I was like, ‘Bet, now I can focus on writing and singing.’
