Who is Fasma, at his first time on the Ariston stage

The need to affix a label that facilitates the identification, better if unambiguous, of an individual would require to include Fasma among rappers. Yet, the 25-year-old, born in Rome as Tiberio Fazioli, does not exactly respond to the stylistic features of the genre in which he should be pigeonholed. Fasma, who founded WFK with Barak da Baby and Tommy the Adjuster in 2016, tends elsewhere. To what in America would go by the name of “emo trap”. But, in Italy, the exponents of the genre can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

So, in an attempt to make the answer to the age-old question, “Who is he and where does he come from?” More immediate, Fasma ended up among the rappers. And he remained there in 2018, when he collected his first songs in the debut Ep, WFK.1, recorded together with the producer GG.

Back then, it was summer, the trepidation of the debut soon turned into a frenzy and, four months later, another project arrived, a record, the first. Would you die to live with me? was released in November. A year after that day, Fasma would have ranked second in Sanremo Giovani, by right obtaining a place among the New Proposals of the Festival. The song, To feel alive, anticipated the release of I am Fasma, the artist’s second album, returned to Ariston from Big, with his own talk to me.
