Basic information:
My full name is Fabrício Muniz Santana and I was born on February 17, 1998.
Since I was born I live in the neighborhood of Cidade Tiradentes; located in the City of São Paulo; in the State of São Paulo, Brazil.
My brand:
Tutmés Trismegistus is about self-esteem.
My people need to learn that they were enslaved for more than 2300 years just to erase their history and culture. My people need to learn that in 1800 we were just fired from buildings, from castles, from palaces, from big mansions; simply because we were no longer needed and we were forced to go to the most remote places for survival and then, years later these places became the ghettos; the slums, where we are persecuted, economically enslaved or killed so that we will never be able to regain the kingdoms that were taken from us in the past.
I want the lowest social classes to look at me and see a goal. For like our ancestors, my objective will be eternally the sun and all of its control to warm and give life to the grain of sand in the same way as to human beings.
My career:
As a child my father listened to Tupac Shakur incessantly, he did not understand much of what was said in the songs, but the sensation was a way of trying to disperse from reality by listening to the words of someone who really seemed to understand the pains and struggles of a black man.
I remember always learning to sing (in a tangled way because it wasn’t my country’s language) the choruses of songs like My Block from the Better Dayz album or Until The End Of Times even when I was a kid.
Around my 9 years old I started to develop an incessant passion for writing, of course, which made me a little different from the other kids my age. When I was 12 or 13 years old, I used the end of rappers’ phrases as rhymes and wrote new verses, because I didn’t really know how to actually write a song or make rhyme, so it was a way to finish the sentences (in large part was all meaningless).
Then, in December 2012, my grandmother died, at that time I was 14 years old. She was literally my second mother, as my family was always very small.
My father grew up without a father and my mother did not have much family support in childhood. My grandmother came from the Northeast of the country when my father was a child. She came to seek a new life in the capital and worked until she got sick and passed away.
An illiterate black woman struggling to survive until her last sigh.
After the death of my grandmother, my mother became pregnant and, in October 2013, the baby died at the time of delivery by fetal maceration. It was a difficult time, as it was just the three of us (my mom, dad and me).
My father, like a typical family man here in the place where I live, every day, leaving for work at 5 am and arriving at 10 pm or 11 pm. He only managed to finish high school around the age of 30, he started working in his teens, which did not give him time for studies.
My mother needed to quit her job in 1998 when she became pregnant for the first time, and at that time the job market was not as it is today, especially here, there was no support for a woman.
Everything was even more difficult. At the end of 2013 to the beginning of 2014, I was depressed and wrote everything I felt incessantly. At this time, I wrote the song “Busca pela Liberdade”, which is a tribute to my grandmother and at the same time a spiritual outburst. At that time I was 15 or 16 years old, and I remember reading, rereading and rewriting it repeatedly to decorate. That’s when I decided that people should listen to that, understand that and try to use ways in their lives to change their destinies.
Search for a spiritual freedom, free yourself from that state of mental slavery that was employed in everyone.
Where I live, there are over 100,000 people with similar stories, worse or the same as my grandmother’s.
Illiterate, with their 60 years old who are collecting their pensions or selling their houses in search of getting back to the North and Northeast of the country 40 years after they came to the capital in search of a new life. And when their children do not end up dead on the streets, they live their lives accustomed to poverty, contenting themselves with only what the government system allows them to do. And, thus, they have been having their children and educating them to follow the same steps, because in addition they will have the chain or the coffin as a future.
At school you are educated to become an obedient person to get a job when you reach adulthood and when you reach adulthood you realize that that job will not give you or lead you to anything beyond that reality, in fact, not even the cheapest university tuition you’ll be able to pay and feed at the same time if you don’t have someone’s help. But, do not forget that from your parents and grandparents, analyzing time in a retrograde way, the difficulty is already found in illiteracy; lack of adequate schooling and education that are still social problems.
Even basic sanitation is still a social problem here.
I remember that in this period I read philosophy textbooks incessantly; sociology; global; I signed up for all public courses on the same topics. And in this period I wrote a song called “Garoto Problema”, in which I tried to portray the relationship between my reality and my possible future options based on stories like to of Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Tupac Shakur and Jesus .The bible has always been my greatest element of study, because what serves as the basis for these people to be content with their realities is to religion, so I always sought what offers this spiritual welcome and this sense of gratitude even in the midst of difficulties.
Then, one day, I was in my room and outside on the back street there was a birthday celebration for an important person here in my neighborhood. There was a rap group singing on stage, it caught my attention, and then, I took my pen-drive that had some beats downloaded from the internet, I had no idea how to get or produce beats at this time. I went over there and asked about how it worked so I could sing. I, in fact, somehow wanted people to hear me. There I will have my first experience on a stage. The same day I got a presentation at a library here in my neighborhood. And that gave me access to political, social, socio-economics, cultural information; and among other themes that were precursors for that reality to be built.
Then I realized that what I was doing was more important than I imagined and I needed to go where I was going. It was in me.
I remember calling myself F.A.T.A.L. (It meant: Força no Ataque com Tranquilidade. Além da Liberdade. In English: Strength in Attack with Tranquility. Beyond freedom.), In this period I organized socio-cultural events and social actions together with rap collectives, local politicians, public institutions and others. But it was difficult for my father to support the house alone while I was getting older, I tried to spend little time at home so as not to generate expenses, because I knew I would not find a way to help him financially. I started working in a clothing store for a rap collective here in my neighborhood to try to help at home, but we couldn’t make even a minimum wage a month from sales.
When I was 17 years old I realized that the problem was much more intense, it was a difficult period, I stopped rapping for about 1 year. I went back to the books, but not for good reason, I needed answers. One day I found myself with a bottle of cognac, a pack of cigarettes and a philosophy book locked in my room without wanting to go out and do anything. When I opened the book, the first topic was “What is happiness?”. I needed to remake myself, but I couldn’t lose my essence.
I started to read everything I saw ahead, having the support of my father and mother was very important, but I couldn’t depend on that. At that time I was approved for a legal services course, it was a free technical course. During this period, were when I got to know the subject called Legal Hermeticism. And then, I started to study that theme incessantly, at that time I developed a passion; a true love for law, philosophy, theology, theosophia, sociology, politics; among several other themes.
That brought back to me that passion that I had when I wrote “Busca pela Liberdade”, I remember that I had several songs written and I had never even recorded anything.
Everything I was studying led me to know about the God Hermes Trismegistus, messenger of the Gods in Greece. I discovered that he had been personified as the God Mercury in Rome and that was when I discovered the God Toth in Egypt; in Africa before all those. It was as if I had found my true genetic lineage, found an inheritance.
During this period I started to study everything about ancient Egypt and then I started to study about African imperial, dynastic and pre-dynastic history. And when I studied about the 18th Dynasty of Egypt, that was when I called myself Tutmés. Son of God Toth.
At that time I had just turned 18 and I needed to leave my legal services technician course to get a job. So, that was when I got my first tattoo, Tutmés, written on my neck. That was the most profound way I found so that even when entering a new phase of my life I would never forget my path. In 2018, I returned to more mature music, used this time to study and seek to understand some things about life.
And then it was when I recorded my first studio work, the EP: “Nullus Liber Vivi (Mixtape)”, a work of 5 tracks in which I present the song “Busca Pela Liberdade” officially and as an initial track. It is a job where I tried to portray my mind, my spirit and, especially, my growth. This work was responsible for opening a big door for me with the New York label, Bentley Records, a record company belonging to the great Luca Dayz. And so, I had the opportunity to release my debut album for the label, called: “Renascimento (Deluxe)”, in 2019, work of 23 tracks produced, composed and performed by me.
This album, for me, is like a universal outburst, from the introduction to the last track. I try to portray all possible paths to be followed by a young man who grows in my reality, with criminality, corruption, lack of education, police violence, poor public management; among countless factors that tend to remove any air of hope for a real evolution and, all this, seen from a point of view where everyone is a victim of a past full of ego and bad decisions by those who today have global power.
Today I am a reserved person, anxious and I like to get results.
Seeing, feeling, hearing or reading about people who changed their lives or were in some way affected by my words or deeds.
I believe that, just like Jesus, Leonardo Da Vinci, Nicolau Machiavelli, Isaac Newton or Nikola Tesla in their times and in their crafts, what I like and admire most in what I do is the result. The way I can inspire and influence someone’s spirit forever, whether for something good or something bad, because only then do I realize that I went so deep as to reach that person’s root and shape his reason.
