Meet Chicago native FACE. Face just recently launched a new debut single titled “Fucboii.”

But in the midst of the campaign this year, he was challenged with the obstacle of having to overcome getting sick and testing positive for Covid-19.

“It’s been off and on symptoms,” he said. “I originally lost my sense of taste and smell. Sometimes it feels like having a chronic cold after it’s gone.”

In an interview with Bobby Pen on Instagram Live, FACE brings new fans into his world discussing his origins in his grandfather’s church and advice on love & relationships from his perspective.

FACE, the Chicago bred multi-hyphenate singer/writer/rapper/ is ready to join the proud lineage of musical mavericks who have successfully toppled the music industry. Like so many of the greats before him—cultivated his voice singing in the church. As a young man, FACE, found inspiration from iconic voices in Gospel, R&B, and Hip-Hop like John P Kee, Usher, & Kanye West respectively. His vocal ability earned him two Grammy appearances singing background for R. Kelly & Madonna.

Born Gabriel Jackson in Chicago, IL, FACE first became interested in music as a child. He developed his singing ability at church, where his grandfather was the pastor. In his teen years, FACE became interested in academia as well as music. This propelled him to attend the prestigious Northwestern University and earned him a B.A in Economics which would equip him to start his record label, RUN THE PLAY ENTERTAINMENT.

In his debut single, FUCBOII, he emerges with raw, soulful energy that R&B fans live for. Moody vibes, FUCBOII, show FACE’s vulnerability through thought-provoking lyrics and captivating vocal execution. 

“Releasing ‘Fucboii’ was difficult because media is filled with COVID, election, BLM and its hard to break through that type of noise,” he said.
