Dismissing the fine-tuned, yet ever evolving artistry of ForteBowie to simply classify him as “just another rapper” from the south side of Atlanta would be flagrantly inaccurate and naïve, at the very least. Honing in his skills as a singer, songwriter, rapper, and producer, the self-taught artist of Cameroonian descent continues to create a seamless sound that transcends genre divisions and inspires genuine lovers of music. His eclectic sound results from musical influences such as Phil Collins, Michael Jackson, Prince, Sting, OutKast, and Sade, among others. Forte’s wide array of inspirations merge to create a style that is uniquely his own.
