In the era of TikTok, fame can come in ways you least expect. Singer-songwriter Fousheé, whose eminent track “Deep End” took her from obscure to epochal overnight, can speak to this from experience.
The song had been online for a month by the time she was made aware of the upload. By then, she says, it was at a million views. “It was just going crazy and it went under my radar.”
After appealing to users on the platform, in a post that has over 5.7 million views, old and new fans fought to have the singer's name credited, and it now appears across streaming and video platforms.
Fousheé said "The story behind “Deep End” had a lot to do with the creation of the song and video. It’s really a success story for Black women. It’s about fighting to get what’s due to you because it isn’t always going to be handed to you."
Since then, she’s been signed to RCA, released a full-length version of “Deep End,” and unveiled a stunning Blaxploitation-inspired music video to go along with it.
Fousheé continued "After “Deep End,” I plan on releasing a lot of music. An album soonm of course. I've been creating a lot nonstop, so now I’m just perfecting everything. I want to hold myself accountable for using my platform to uplift.
