Fothepo

02/16/2022

I (Matt) wanted to come on here and let everyone know what our name fothepo means and why we went with it. It is basically a shortened down version of “For The People” which Nick and I wanted, but was already taken. And we also plan to partner with a charitable organization called Veteran's Service and Assistance INC. which is being put together in part by my old battle buddy Krystal Boyd, who I worked with the last half of my Army career with when I left the infantry and went into the mental health field. They already work with veteran’s helping them in so many ways and if we can contribute a portion of everything we earn to that we are honored to do so. Anyway, thank you all for your support and love!!!We look forward to sharing our love for music with you all.

That is until I played it for Nick and he did what he does and came up with an acoustic arrangement for it. My favorite part of this song is the bridge part. While I was listening to the music and writing it, my little girl Ayana, was in the back seat of the car singing “who you love, who you love, who you love.” The lyrics I wrote with it was my response I sang back to her. May rewrite some of the lyrics before we record it. But Nick did what Nick does and produced the guitar part after barely listening to it. fothepo……..here we come!

This is an R&B song that was written by Matt and produced by Michael Goins in 2000. Upon playing it for Nick he came up with an acoustic rock-styled arrange...
