Falduto rose to stardom portraying Fancy Pants in the iconic Jack Black movie School of Rock. The exaggerated attention on his feminine gestures during his youth greatly influenced his journey towards self-acceptance regarding his sexuality in his teenage and early adult years. “Mine is a story of what happens when society attaches a label on something they don’t understand to avoid their own discomfort,” he reflects today" he shares.
Historically, there has been a noticeable lack of queer representation in Country music. However, in the ever-evolving landscape of music and society, Country music has taken a refreshing turn towards progressiveness. This shift is exemplified by the incredible masked singer Orville Peck, the cultural shift changing Little Nas X and the devoted fandom surrounding the recent controversial crossover record by the iconic Queen B.
Country music has returned to its authentic roots, emphasizing the importance of living your truth rather than conforming to the conditional freedom and isolating nature of the American dream. Falduto has skillfully crafted a record that combines his undeniable talent with the fearless embrace of living authentically. Falduto's firm grasp on his craft shines through in this record, showcasing his excellent ability to self express.
