Life throws the occasional curveball at all of us, but the way we respond to them can vary. For musician and artist Luis Rocha Ramos, aka FYM Lewis, adversity becomes an opportunity to create art. The artist shares how he uses his pain as inspiration to write many of his hard-hitting tracks.
FYM Lewis, which is short for Free Your Mind Lewis, is a rapper who hails from Salem, Oregon. His love and passion for music are unmistakable as he takes harmonies and rhymes and turns them into beautiful tracks for his followers and fans all over. His music has helped people through some of the roughest times, providing listeners with a form of “coping mechanism,” as the artist would say.
FYM Lewis has written a slew of high-quality tracks, including songs like “Call Me Up,” “Compressed,” “Automatic,” “Broken Bottles,” “Get That,” “Poles,” “Girl I Knew,” “Cold Hearted,” and many others. He brings a paradoxical raw yet polished style to the music scene, releasing unfiltered emotions with refined and stylish delivery. He knows what makes his music different and openly shares it with the world. “Nowadays, rappers rap about things they never do but that is not me,” shares the artist. “I stay truthful to my fans and always love talking to them.”
Music lovers have put FYM Lewis’ music in the category of high-quality music. His sound provides a calm flow that can put listeners into a meditative and tranquil state. But the pinnacle of his work has to be the level of quality and deliberate effort put into his lyrical style. The artist shares how he puts a lot of effort and research into his lyrics, avoiding cliches and popular notions. Luis Rocha Ramos chooses to stick out like a sore thumb in a sea of similar-sounding music by attempting to sound original with every track released.
Salem’s rapper will be the first to admit that his life hasn’t always been smooth sailing. Early on, he struggled with various family problems that would draw him away from the sense of home and safety. This predicament would land Luis into a downward spiral caused by drug addiction. But what was meant for destruction, FYM Lewis would turn into creative inspiration. Much of the artist’s music speaks of the bittersweet journey he’s taken toward acceptance, healing, and self-discovery. His path is far from complete, but he’s getting there with his head held high and sounds blazing.
Amid all the turmoil that he has faced, Lewis remains undaunted in the pursuit of his dreams. He hopes to continue making high-quality music and deliver more value to listeners everywhere. The artist has set his eyes on the big stage and is determined to make a name for himself in the world of music, dreaming of one day selling out stadiums and working with top-shelf artists and celebrities in the process.
In the meantime, he stays grounded, paying homage to his roots and creating music as life continues to throw unprecedented challenges and events his way. FYM Lewis knows where he’s going, and he’s on his way there.
