PUFF Daddy, Jay-Z and Snoop Doggy Dogg better watch out — there’s a new boy in town.
Producer, singer, song-writer Fugative has packed a lot into his musical life and the 15-year-old is only just getting started.
He recently signed an album deal with Ministry of Sound and an American management team headed up by Kirk Burrows who founded legendary Bad Boy Records.
Fugative. who describes his sound as hip-pop, has worked with some of the industry’s biggest producers, played at a handful of festivals and secured sponsorship with Puma, Reebok and Fila.
The talented teen (pictured) burst on to the scene last year with the release of his debut track “It’s Summertime” and it wasn’t long before he had set up his own label Runaway Productions.
The Jack of all trades will appear at an under-14s club night at Liquid, Retiro Street, tonight.
