1) Fabiano Anthony Forte (born February 6, 1943, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania),is an American teen idol of the late 1950s and early 1960s. He rose to national prominence after performing several times on American Bandstand. In total, he charted 11 hit singles on the Billboard Hot 100.
abian was discovered in 1957 by Bob Marcucci and Peter DeAngelis, owners of Chancellor Records. At the time, record producers were looking to the South Philadelphia neighborhoods in search of teenage talents with good looks, and Frankie Avalon, also of South Philly, suggested Fabian as a possibility.
With songwriters Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman, Fabian released a series of hit singles for Chancellor Records including "I'm a Man", "Hound Dog Man", a #9 hit in the U.S., "Turn Me Loose" (U.S. #9), and his biggest hit, "Tiger", which reached number 3 in the U.S. charts. Other singles that charted included "String Along", "About This Thing Called Love" and "This Friendly World", which reached #12 on the U.S. charts.
His career in music basically ended after he bought out of his contract with Marcucci after signing a seven-year contract with 20th Century Fox. During the payola scandal of the 1960s, Fabian testified before Congress that his recordings had been doctored electonically to significantly improve his voice.
2) Fabian Ordorica of Los Angeles. Churning out heavy apocalyptic electro powerhouses and pop gems alike, Fabian is a multi-talented musician and producer. His songs are heavy, dark, and taking dance music in an entirely new direction. His live show is entirely original productions strung together in a non-stop, melt your face revolution. He promises to get any group of people in front of him dancing until their clothes are soaked. Since his productions are original, his live set will never get stale, and promises to get the interest of anyone seeing him play. He is a member of the Binary Family, a fast rising label of electronic musicians in Los Angeles.
3) Fabian Feyaerts is the Belgian representative at Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2012.
4) FABIAN is about
body symbolism, pop ambivalences,
classical tunes of rock history and groove.
Based in Leipzig FABIAN started in 2013.
Die Band um Sängerin Maria6668 verwandelt pulsierende Texturen in präzise Rhythmen und spielt sich dabei durch unterschiedlichste musikalische Stilistik. Schöne Melodiebögen werden auf nahezu ironische Art und Weise gebrochen und tauchen fast unbemerkt in einem neuen musikalischen Kontext wieder auf.
Hold me

You think you can hang? cctually well you can't
We live in a world of supply and demand
cnd this was all just a part of God's plan
cw yeah, the world's about to find out who I am
It's GCD, that's the label forever
Listen don't worry about it's no pressure
United as one homie we stand together
Slide through, they spin it like fast food 'cause mind you
You can catch me working in the bojangles drive thru
First I had to wait for my plate, well now it's time to
Spit a flow the spirit of Biggie gon' come alive to, wait
I couldn't break, I was breakin' down every door
Flaw never settle like 'cept when I settle scores
Tinted windows boy, that means mind yours
I put in overtime like a tied score
Success is down the road, death is around the corner
God is walkin' with me, the Devil's offerin' water
Was gonna call it quits but the pay phone was out of order
Before I was diagnosed with an instrumental disorder
Every time I come around I got your legs shakin
This here paper is what I'm chasin
My music play all over the world, stop hatin'
Over 61 countries, tell Jay I rock nations
You in the club like shoo shoo
I'm a boss making boss moves
You see a op you gon shoot shoot
That's how you and your gang move
I don't mess with no op
You dirty u gon need a mop
They put my cousin in a box
I knew that I would be on top
Fresh home, I need a starter kit
You don't know who you're messing with
Dang, I'm a greaseball
You soft and chewy like a cheeseball
We do not listen to rats
Run and tell that
The rap game I own that
Been moving forward, I ain't going back
The lyrics to Fabian's song "Hold me back" depict a confident and determined mindset. The opening lines suggest that the listener may believe they are capable of handling any challenge, but the singer asserts that it's not the case. It introduces the concept of supply and demand, emphasizing that everything happening is a part of God's plan. The phrase "the world's about to find out who I am" indicates a strong belief in one's own abilities and a desire to make a mark.
The following lines mention GCD, which may refer to a record label or a collective the singer is a part of, symbolizing unity. The lyrics portray a sense of readiness for any situation, emphasizing the importance of standing together with others. The reference to working at a fast-food restaurant like Bojangles could be a metaphor for starting from humble beginnings and working hard to pursue one's passion. The mention of Biggie alludes to the influence and inspiration the artist draws from legends of the genre.
The lyrics continue with a sense of resilience, determination, and a refusal to settle for less. The mention of tinted windows suggests a need for privacy and implies that the singer is focused on their own journey, not concerned with others' opinions. The lines about success being down the road and avoiding death around the corner display a recognition of the challenges ahead but also a belief in the presence of a guiding force, with God walking beside them while the Devil tempts.
The second half of the song takes a shift in tone, with the lyrics highlighting the singer's achievements and dismissing any haters. It showcases the global reach of their music, with plays in over 61 countries and a reference to impressing Jay, possibly referring to Jay-Z. The lines about clubs, gang activities, and reinforcing a tough image display a defiance towards any opposition or negative influences. The lyrics express a determination to rise above difficult circumstances, such as a cousin being in prison, and a desire to maintain progress and never go back.

Asserting my dominance in the music industry
Been moving forward, I ain't going back
Continuously progressing and refusing to regress
