A group that heavily influenced Fedel in his music and his youth was Three 6 Mafia. He was very much into hip-hop when he was young, saying, “That’s the culture that I came up on musically.” One day as a young adult, Fedel “had a situation with some of my peers which turned into a big altercation, and I remember talking to them like ‘This is not the life, God has more for us’ and I remember going home that night and sitting in my bed, looking up to the sky, saying ‘Jesus, I want to dedicate my life to you cause there’s more to life than this. I’m just going to serve you. Meet me.”
“Fedel is an artist who strongly believes there is grace for all, believes strongly in grace because he only feels like he’s here because of the grace of God.” [/column]

[/columns_row] The name “Fedel” comes from the word “fidelity,” a synonym for faithfulness. He wants to be faithful to God, so the name was fitting for him. Fedel loves 808s and Southern music, saying that he “really does like to turn up and have fun in music.” He wants to be effective, avoiding being too caught up in popularity to make progress. Another aspect setting him apart from others is his voice. “I have a very unique voice, which causes me to have a very unique style.”
