Hi my name is Faioso and I am a singer-songwriter specializing in socially conscious R&B and hip-hop. I write music and lyrics inspired by personal life, relationships, politics, and culture. I sound like a blended mix of MIA, TLC, Jill Scott, Amy Winehouse, and Bjork. My music is powerful and soulful, dark yet positive, urban yet abstract. I just released my first album called "Nobody Owns Me." This music album fuses R&B, hip-hop, spoken word, and world music. There is a story behind every song. For example, "Nobody Owns Me (But You, Boy)" started off as a poem written on a friend's myspace page! I am honored that my album is a nominee for the 2010 Na Hoku Hanohano R&B/ Hip Hop Album of the Year. You can buy "Nobody Owns Me" through the online store here!
There are only 500 limited edition printed copies of this CD and once they're gone, the music will be available for digital download ONLY. The digital version is also available NOW at itunes.com or cdbaby.com!
