1K Phew is among a new breed of Atlanta artists taking the trap sensibility and elevating it to great effect.  His smooth delivery and evocative vocal tone pair well with the bouncy, energetic production that defines his sound.  There’s a sense of transparency that comes through in his music, a kind of refined rawness that can only be gained through experience and honing your craft.  To let him tell it: “I’m not worried about being politically correct.  I just want to give people the real.  That’s where the 1K comes from, always keeping it 1,000 no matter what.”

This sort of genuine directness is what resonates with his audience; and his growing platform is a clear reflection of his passion to share his story.  “The story I’m telling is how I overcame my obstacles,” he says.  “You can’t force anybody to follow your way but you can let your light shine and watch them come to you.”  The past he speaks of is one that rings true for the many who grew up in similar circumstances.  But even though Phew had it better than some of his peers, having grown up with two praying parents who encouraged him in his gifting, he still found himself going down a destructive path as a teen.  It wasn’t until he and his friends almost got shot one day that Phew decided to truly surrender his life to God and His plan.  “That was a turning point for me.  From then on, I was different.”
