Gus Edwards first rose to prominence as an athlete, more specifically as a running back for the Baltimore Ravens. However, aside from being a gifted football player, the young man also has many other layers and talents. In the past couple of years, he has pursued yet another one of his passions—music.
As an artist, he is making waves in the hip-hop scene for his impressive tracks and singles. The decision to start a music career may have come as quite a surprise to some, but music always has a special place in his heart.
As he insightfully shared, “I’ve always known I wanted to pursue a music career, but l didn’t always have the time to focus on that aspect of my life. When the pandemic started and the whole world was forced to stop their usual routines, I took the opportunity to spend time getting back into my music.”
On top of that, he considers music to be therapeutic. The creative individual uses it as an outlet to express his thoughts and as a way to relate with others. So naturally, this motivated him to get started in the business even more.
Going by the artist name Gusto, he has since released several hit tracks such as “No Average,” “Pray For Me,” “New Drop,” and “Mona Lisa.” These extraordinary songs are all shaped and inspired by his life experiences and learnings. This also allows the musician to connect with his audience profoundly.
In addition, he recently dropped his latest single, “Frozen Heart,” featuring Zayzayy, which is part of the duo’s upcoming project. Explaining the meaning behind the track, the talented individual said, “The song is about how different life experiences can make your heart turn cold: betrayal, losing love, death, all the things we go through that can change you us in ways for the worse.”
Not only does the track show his immense skills as a songwriter, but it also showcases his growth as an artist. He optimistically shared, “I hope my fans really see my development as an artist in this song and can have a song to relate to.”
Even though it has only been a few days since its release, “Frozen Heart” has already impressed fans and listeners. In fact, many have left positive reviews and comments on the song’s official video on YouTube.
The exceptional young man is incredibly flattered by the encouragement he constantly receives, and he uses them as motivation to keep creating relatable songs. He proudly explained, “Seeing the support I get from people who like my music, and seeing their reactions to how they feel when they play my songs have been my proudest moments so far. Those feelings are priceless.”
Gusto has impressively shown his prowess as a musician in just a short span and established himself as one of the most promising hip-hop artists. Moving forward, he aims to continue scaling his success. Fans and music enthusiasts alike should be on the lookout as he has a lot of exciting plans prepared for the future.
