Within this video documentary from Red Bull, individuals and professionals from the E-sports industry talk about TheFatRat’s works and career. Although it is a video (not an article), it still lays out the composer’s journey to where he is now, exposes the merits of his works and the aspects which makes him unique apart from anyone else.
From this video, it truly shows that he associates himself as a musician with the love of gaming. To prove those, first: gaming. In the video, he showed us many old day gaming consoles he owns (From 2:55-3:10), which shows him owning some of the most elite devices back then such as a Neo-Geo. From another interview, the interviewer stated that he was one of the 3 people to buy a neo-geo. From a musical perspective, he stated in the video that he started music in 2001, going through a decade of hard times and trying to find new things to do. But he states that “I tried to force myself out of it, but it never really worked”(1:34), truly portraying his passion for music. And combining both of his passions together, comes the one who is the ‘most influential artist in the whole industry”(0:23), which is totally true, from my own perspective and everyone else, since if an artist is invited to play in front of 15000 people (7:05), it truly shows he has made an impact.
I really loved how you used TheFatRat and his relevance in the E-Sports/ Gaming world along with music. I’m truly excited to read what you have to say in regards to how you see his music and passion for gaming go hand in hand, and what that has done for his career!!
