Lady Femmefatal The Artist

Lady Femmefatal, is a female rapper, free lance model, and aspiring actress. Born and raised predominantly in Detroit, Michigan East 7 Mile area. She spent one year in Denver, Colorado, and then moved back to Detroit, and later to Harperwoods, Mi where she finished her junior and senior years of high school. Lady Femmefatal has within her some important characteristics needed in an artist, she is diverse and versatile when it comes to her song writing, although she specializes in Hard Core rap. Lady Femmefatal says Hard Core rap is what she grew up on, it’ s all she knows, but she has no problem switching it up, as she has proven on several tracks. Fatal’ s number one goal as an artist is to bring the creativity, work ethnic, and lyricism back to rap. Fatal feels that rap has strayed away from being an art, no one appreciates the writing, brainstorming, and creativity that comes with being an artist, and that is because some artist have taken that away thus leaving an audience with low expectations!
Fatal has been writing and rapping since about 11 years old, and says she owe’ s that to her step-brother David Gogins, also known as Raw Num. He pretty much introduced her to the idea of rapping! Not only rapping but the idea of being an artist. She used to rap and write with him upon request when they were younger. Fatal saw his passion for it and what rapping was about all through him! She always loved writing poems and stories as a youngster, but he helped to take that to the next level. Femmefatal never in a million years thought it would be something that would develop into a true passion, and she never thought she would perform in front of an audience, and record in a studio either, because Fatal always considered herself somewhat shy, but she did despite that! Her passion and understanding for the art of rapping, and music in general grew from watching and learning from him, after he moved away, he encouraged her to keep writing and to begin producing tracks, and behold Lady Femmefatal! Though she had been writing for a while, in 2006 she finally got enough guts to go to the studio and start layin’ tracks. Not even a full year later Fatal was approached by promoters and other artist to perform in local clubs and bars. Thanks Truth a. k. a Trufee, and John Blakk for the help getting started.
