L-FRESH also known as ‘The Lion’ came busting out of the blocks punching above his weight at the age of 17. After completing a staggering 6 EPs by the time he was 18, FRESH was asked to tour by Nas. It was at this time FRESH also became the ambassador of The Street University (launched by none other than Public Enemy) where he both works as a mentor and A&R co-ordinator of Australia’s largest youth drop-in centre.
FRESH not only known for his MC skills but his passionate speeches has been asked to speak at a number of different conventions, most recently at Amnesty International.
FRESH, now 22, says “I’m never satisfied and I teach kids never to be satisfied with their lot in life. I’m not a man. I’m an idea. I’m more than this flesh and blood. I want my words to live forever.”
Sydney’s 3D World magazine did a giveaway of FRESH’s latest single, which was ‘Ordinary Day’. FRESH is currently working on another EP-savouring the moment of his first debut album.
Oh by the way, if you’re wondering why ‘The Lion’, FRESH was visiting the Golden Temple in India, where a Guru sitting next to FRESH said that he had a vision of a Lion standing amongst a hundred thousand people. He awoke from his vision shaking FRESH saying ‘You are the Lion!’ The name stuck.
