Today we’d like to introduce you to Bleau.
Franz Hodges (born August 20th, 1995) also known as KFDOESIT, who now goes by Bleau or Bleauisnotcool is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, fashion designer and artist from Palm Beach County, Florida. Since 2017, Bleau has been releasing a discography of independent music now totaling nine bodies of work available on all major streaming services including iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal and Google Play, etc.
The Boynton Beach native effortlessly conjures WAV’s with a collection of flows from his catchy melodic auto-tune melodies to his profound trap modus operandi. Those and everything in between can be distinguished by his particular style which landed him not only on Complex’s Pigeons and Planes but other well-known platforms including Texas-based SayCheeseTV, Chicago’s own Elevator Mag, and other local blog sites like Citrus Rap, Daily Chiefers, and Mieux Magazine. Having performed among today’s hottest underground rappers and linking in features from likes of Wifisfuneral, Max P, and Smokepurpp, this upcoming rapper is on the radar, so don’t wait too long to find lyrics before he’s in a city near you!
Franz Hodges was originally born August 20th of 1995 in Haiti. At eight months, he and his mother crossed over to the states for better opportunities in life. Having been a single mom, the two would eventually end up in Palm Springs, Florida where his mother would then meet his initial father-like figure who later exposed the young prodigy to Graffiti, Air Jordans, and Hip Hop. Throughout school, he was exposed to a melting pot of cultures, friends, style and extreme sports. Clothes and skateboarding would soon occupy the young mind becoming two staple influences in his life today.
We’d love to hear more about your art. What do you do and why and what do you hope others will take away from your work?
Bleau or Bleauisnotcool is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, fashion designer, and artist. All self-sufficient produced recordings and pieces made to prove you can do anything by yourself as long you put your mind to it. Everything I’ve created is either made from the pain or my heart.
How can artists connect with other artists?
Keep it as genuine as possible. Every artist is on their own journey more than likely facing the same things. Show the artists that you 100% support them whether its purchasing merch, a shoutout. An act of vulnerable appreciation goes a long way.
Do you have any events or exhibitions coming up? Where would one go to see more of your work? How can people support you and your artwork?
