fuji Dreskin | Musician & Artist
FUJI YAMA a.k.a. Fuji Dreskin is a rapper and illustrator in Denver, Colorado.
"My name is Fuji and I'm a rapper, singer, dancer and illustrator and I love making my own music videos and getting you to dance with me. I'm most known for my strong connection to animals and the metaphysical as well as advocating for the liberation of people and animals.
Music is medicine. You are the healer.
I produced my first music video, "Hikikomori" (2016) in collaboration with Fulfilms Productions in Sacramento, CA and the incredible team from Vicious Vanity FX, lead by Nichole Chilelli. I really enjoyed getting the team together, making the storyboards, costumes, casting and directing. I got my BFA for Illustration at CCA a couple of years prior to "Hikikomori" which helped a lot in production, specifically with organizing my artistic process, conceptual art and storyboarding. My cosplay background always gets ignited when making the costumes as well which is so much fun.
My most recent music video is called "Renegade" (2020) which was filmed in Colorado. I worked closely with my DP Sam Grabowska in the mountains and my personal home in Denver. I was the director, wardrobe/make up artist and editor on this video.
