Seeing rapid growth in his career, Fumez The Engineer has released a mini-documentary 'In The Mix', which follows his journey to success and all he has achieved so far. Whilst displaying Fumez's accomplishments, the mini-documentary also highlights not only the ups but the downs and obstacles he's had to overcome to get where he is today. In his own words, Fumez says "The vlog is a break down into some of the activities that happen in my life." Fans of the influential Drill figure, get an in-depth look at his sudden rise to the limelight, from his personal to professional life. Some focal points of the documentary are the engineer's run-ins with the Police, videos being taken down due to 'controversial hate speech', and heavier moments. Nonetheless, the positives outweigh the negatives as Fumez's mini-documentary captures his collaboration with JD Sports and their Hoodrich campaign and his performance at Leeds' Festival to over 20,000 people.
Although being in the game for a while now, the West London music mixer and engineer who has mixed and engineered for big UK artists with likes of Headie One, Tion Wayne, and Russ Millions, has gained even more recognition in the UK's music scene through his successful 'Plugged In' sessions in which some of the UK's hottest drill artists freestyle over fiery, bouncy beats curated by renowned UK producers. The freestyle show has accumulated over 100 million views on Youtube alone and some of the freestyles earning a spot in the Top 40. With 2.2 monthly listeners on Spotify, it's no surprise that Fumez has managed to gain over 100 million streams. The 'Plugged In' freestyles are set to return with a fourth series this Wednesday 22 September, after a victorious run from series 1 to 3.
Fumez The Engineer recently announced his first-ever headline show which will be happening over two dates; starting with O2's Islington Academy in London Friday 12th November and the other on Saturday 20th November at the Academy Green Room, Dublin. Both shows are expected to have special, surprise guests joining Fumez on stage, and with the sick lineups we've seen throughout the 'Plugged In' series, there's no doubt that he will give an outstanding and explosive show.
The musical entrepreneur has come a long way, with no intentions of stopping anytime soon. From being a big name to the main stage. Get your tickets to Fumez The Engineer's Headline Show now.
