= Sanity (Rapper) = Origin:

Rapper/Songwriter Sanity is an artist from Toronto, Ontario Ca. Born in 2005, in a Brazilian hood in Ipatinga, MG, Sanity grew up in a dangerous environment surrounded by dark times. Although having a good family, with reasonable money and jobs, Sanity couldn't get out of the hoods of Brazil until the age of 8, where he had already seen a lot. Sanity's main sources of happiness were his family, his friends, and his church; which he frequented often. In Ipatinga, the main hangout was the park known as the "The Pracinha". That park was the biggest hangout in the hood, as well as one of the most dangerous places; especially during the lat afternoon/night. At the age of only 7, Sanity lost his best friend known among friends as "Hoover". Hoover was a victim of gun violence in the park, having died at only 12. The police never reported the incident, and it never even made it to the news. Sanity now uses memories of Hoover in his music as a way to tell his story. In future years, Sanity and his moved to Canada for a better life, after his father lost his job. Here is where Sanity would find his passion for rap music, and his ability to make music of his own. Ever since a young boy, Sanity and his family always knew of his musical talent. He was always able to sing and play many instruments such as Guitar, Drums, and even the Piano. In Canada, Sanity discovered rap music as a reference from a school friend. His first song that brought him closer to the genre was "RIP Roach - XXXTENTACION". This song would open the doors to more and more of the 2010's era of rap music, with artists like XXXTENTACION, SkiMasktheSlumpGod, Trippie Redd, and many more. Sanity also discovered the older rap icons, such as 2pac, The Notorious B.I.G, 50Cent, and more. As his love for rap bloomed, he knew he wanted to also become a rap star, but never pursued the dream. In the late 2010's, Sanity fell in love with the melodic style he uses today. Artists like XXXTENTACION, Trippie Redd, PoloG, and Juice WRLD, are known inspirations of Sanity. As well as Russ, who became one of the most beloved and successful independent-made artists of the era.

Getting to Work:

Despite his love for rap and dream of becoming a star, Sanity had not yet began to work on his music. It wasn't until May that he pursued his dream. 2020 was a hard time for everyone, with the introduction of the new pandemic. In attempts to find a way to keep himself sane during a time of no contact with people, he began writing music under the name Sanity, for that exact reason. Recording and releasing the single "Royalty" on May 29th, Sanity acquired over 15,000 (Spotify) streams in just a few months. The single was still amateur work, and was recorded using a cheap microphone and had very little mixing. The single still managed to make some noise however, and showed a sneak peak of all of Sanity's talent. On August 30th Sanity released his first official studio single "Love Lost", where he gained upwards of 1,600 (Spotify) streams within a few months. Sanity continued releasing music to his small, but loyal fan base, and displayed more and more of his talent.

The Level-Up:

On the second last day of 2020, the single "History in the Making" was released, and showed Sanity's best performance of the year. In this song sanity states that the upcoming year will be "His time to shine", giving fans the idea that he was about to level-up. He kept his word, and dropped the singles "Love Notes, Decline, Hated, and Deeply Scarred" in the first two months of the year. These were by far his best performances of his career so far, and despite not moving mountains of numbers, gained him a few loyal fans, and even made some noise on TikTok. From this point on sanity has only been previewing great music, at way higher levels of production than of 2020. Sanity is a very hard working artist, and he is constantly showing that he is working on new music.
