Conversations with Seth (Knife Face / Nada5150) Coleman

Today we’d like to introduce you to Seth (Knife Face / Nada5150) Coleman.

Hi Seth (Knife Face / Nada5150), we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I started Martial arts when i was only three years old. It instilled a passion for fitness and self discipline. I traveled all over the US for tournaments and even to South Korea. I medaled in the Junior olympics three times. As i got older i learned wrestling, boxing, and kick boxing and started training Mixed Martial arts. At the age of 18 i endured Serious injuries that stunted my blossoming future as a fighter. I fell into a depression and started to use drugs to cope. After getting clean/sober in 2012 I stayed active physically but i found myself needing a new outlet since fighting was no longer an option. I found Music and I was hooked. Motivated by the support of my best friend Marvin, I decided to take myself seriously as a rapper and moved to Los angeles in 2018. In 2023 that friend died in a car crash. Berfeft i found myslef needing to process this by getting back in the gym and working through the pain on a heavy bag. I knew i couldnt fight anymore as a career but i can get some of this energy out in a gym. My training picked up from where i left off. A little working out turned into multiple hours a day everyday. I eventually said injuries or not i have to get back in the ring. I just had my first win in Ameteur mma at 32 years old and i hope to turn pro next year. All the while keeping my momentum as an independent Rapper. I do it for my best friend who believed in me.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
absolutely not. Ive been on my own since i was 17. Ive worked 100 hour weeks on top of sleeping in my car to make these dreams come to fruition. people would laugh in my face when i would tell them im a rapper/mma fighter.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
Im a one man operation. Writing, recording, producing all my own music. Even managing the business side of marketing myself as a rapper. In music and in fighting Im known for my powerful and agressive style. Contrasting my serious desposition, my music will have elements of humor and emotional vulnerabillity. I use music to tell my story. its gets crazier as time goes on. I make music and I fight to keep myself sane and happy. the fact that other people love it is icing on the cake. In a world of alot of talkers and pretenders I feel my presence in both worlds is necessary to keep people honest. Not everyone is the baddest or the toughest. I am.

Before we let you go, we’ve got to ask if you have any advice for those who are just starting out?
Keep true to your north star. Find out why you follow that star and never lose sight of it.
