WELCOME TO THE FANCYVERSE
A deep dive into the instrumentals behind F.A.C.T.S. the Fancy Animal
Late at night, just outside the city of Little Rock, a man sits alone in his bedroom, reading, watching obscure films, grading papers, painting model cars, and building a musical universe in his speakers. F.A.C.T.S. raps, Fancy Animal sings, and underneath both those personas, you get his beats; a high-thread-count romp through a broken heart factory built out of glass, on a high cliff overlooking an ocean of the mind. These are the beats of a multi-instrumentalist from the band Ginsu Wives, but also very much the beats of an experimentalist and sound engineer from The 4817 Crew. These are the transmissions of the lonely wizard who is secretly plotting your demise. Beats made for junkyard sermons and winter break-ups. This is the music of the forgotten, music of the discarded, which has been largely overlooked until you came along just now to find it. Enjoy!

ABOUT
Chris Hairston is F.A.C.T.S. the Fancy Animal, lead singer of the band Ginsu Wives, and a member of the 4817 rap crew. By day he is a mild-mannered school teacher, but by night a maniacal musical madman stalking the ether-sphere with his devious gadgets and cantankerous hunger to explore and create. Is it hyperbole to call him a musical genius? We don't think so, but we'll leave that for you to decide.
SERVICES
Maybe you are seeking a smooth bedroom pop type r&b vibe for your bat / bar mitzvah, BOOM: Fancy Animal is the man for the job! Maybe your third cousin's best friend is really into extreme music and you want to impress her by booking a grotesque but polite form of dance music for your yacht christening; look no further than Chris's unsettling electro-rock band Ginsu Wives. Maybe you just need a DJ, who is willing to take things in twisted directions to keep your sister's friends out of your pool party. No? How bout some raps, for your basement or block party? Email F.A.C.T.S. for all your entertainment needs. He is not cheap, but it will be worth it!
LIVE PERFORMANCES
Chris arrives on time for gigs. He says "please" and "thank you" and wipes his mouth frequently during meals. Honestly, he does need a haircut, usually, and he moves a little slow, but once you hear his golden jazzy notes, you will be stupified. His stage show has been described as grandiose, verbose, comatose, a roast, and toast, to name but just a few descriptors. Between songs, he uses a soft voice to check on the wellness of his audience (a gesture that has come to mean a lot to his diehard day-ones). Regardless of which incarnation you get, or which musical friends he brings along, none of his performances are to be missed. Catch him in action!
