Rising Stars: Meet Falme Davis

Today we’d like to introduce you to Falme Davis.

Falme, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I started writing music when I was seven years old. I was always drawn to it from so many car rides with family. My father always listened to Bay Area/Sacramento hip hop and I’d always rap to myself no matter what the song was. My mother being a singer, always listened to oldies ranging from the 70s to the 90s so that expanded my palette when it came to the kinds of music I enjoyed and would go on to create. Though I had always been writing music and freestyling, I had never actually recorded anything until I was 14 when my best friend LG invited me to his in home studio to just create. My first song was terrible and the next few were super hit and miss but I loved it. I loved going back and hearing songs and thinking of what I could do to be better and what I could do to master my own sound. I still go back to those songs sometimes to hear how far I’ve come. Even some lines from those songs made it back into some newer ones ten years later.

After High School, I moved to Pomona where I connected with a lot of artists and I pretty much developed my sound there. I’d never say perfected cause there is always room for growth but it was when I was 18 living in Pomona that I started to find my true voice and became a better artist overall. I started to become more comfortable speaking MY OWN views and story and just expanding on how I wanted my music to sound. Going on 25 now, I have evolved so much as an artist truly. I can’t help but be excited for how much better I will be in the future. I went from not even wanting anyone to hear my raps to now having four projects out and more in the works. It is truly an amazing feeling when the music connects knowing that it’s straight from my heart and constant thoughts. So far to go but a lot closer than I was as that terrible 14 years old putting words together.

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. A lot of times, I wanted to quit. A lot of times, I wouldn’t have the money to record so all I could do was write. Overall the road hasn’t been smooth but the results have been amazing. I was always taught nothing worth doing would be easy so this much was expected.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
To put it simply, I rap. I have started to get into the producer realm, but my specialty is rapping. I’m most proud of my sound and my ability to never sound like another artist. My voice is my voice only. My flows are mine only. I really pride myself on that. I’d say I’m separated from others by that as well. When you hear a Falmé D song, it’s purely a Falmé D song. No, if and or buts about that.

Are there any important lessons you’ve learned that you can share with us?
The most important lesson I have learned is to never stop working. Even if I can’t get in a studio, I can still write. Even if I feel like quitting, the best option is just to make a song about that emotion. Work work work. It’s the only way to improve and it’s the only way to get out the slumps that will most definitely hit hard.
