Details:
Simplyfb is the name. To many listeners, the âfbâ in Simplyfb is an enigma, but those that are close to him have already discovered that the âfbâ actually stands for his name, Fred Burns. Simplyfb has always demonstrated an affinity for the arts especially literature, even as a child. Writing, whether it was an essay, poetry or a hot 16 bars for a rap song it has been an outlet for Simplyfb. Finally in 2000 Fred Burns realized that his ability to write was more than a pass time but that God had invested this gift in him. As Simplyfb became serious about the Lord and discontented with the contradictions to his belief in scripture that permeates secular hip-hop, the Lord commanded him to purge his music library of ALL secular music. Simplyfb obeyed his convictions, but found it to be a real challenge. Yes he agreed that it was blatantly hypocritical for him to listen to the pastor preach on Sunday morning and drive home listening to music that cancelled that same message. Unfamiliar with hymns and choir selections compounded the challenge to refrain from secular music. Simplyfb had heard gospel rap prior to his recommitment to the Lord, but wasnât enthralled by them and didnât find it to be comparable to the secular music he disposed of. In a small church in Palmdale, California Simplyfb attended a free gospel rap concert where local artist, signed and unsigned artist shared the stage in ministry. Once Simplyfb was exposed to an equivalent if not better alternative he could easily maintain his stand on refusing secular music into his lifestyle. In 2001 Simplyfb was sitting on a front pew in a church, where the Lord revealed to him that he would rap for God. Simplyfb has been serving the Lord in rap ministry and laboring diligently to produce his debut project âFood for Thoughtâ for about five years. He has ministered at several local churches as well as been sent for to other churches, open mic spots, fashion shows youth rallies, gospel showcases, talent shows and has featured on other up and coming artistâs work. After overcoming the opposition presented by peers, ministers, secular artist and sometimes his own doubt his gift has made room for him and brought him before great men. He has earned credibility amongst Pastors with the accuracy of his message and connected with youth with his method of delivery. The strength of his ministry has been the clarity of his presentation. Now he pursues his dream to rap, satisfies his urge to write, and enjoys listening to and performing music without compromise.
