Kyle Fortch has transformed his once forgotten beat into a song he hopes buoys listeners.
The recording artist and former Shuswap resident is stoked for February 12 when his latest song, Dance All Night is set to drop via an aggressive TikTok campaign. Joining Fortch on the song are JOSEPH, and Grammy nominated and platinum selling artist Afroman (Joseph Foreman).
鈥滻 think this song is a really happy song that people are going to enjoy in this current time in the world,鈥� said Fortch, who is currently residing in Calgary. 鈥淧eople can鈥檛 exactly go out and dance to it right now, and it鈥檚 just kind of an uplifting mood thing.鈥�
Fortch describes the single as having an upbeat 50鈥檚 dance vibe. He had the idea for the beat about three years ago, and rediscovered it after starting up a TikTok presence early on during the pandemic.
鈥淪o I wrote the hook and I called my aunt immediately and I said, 鈥楬ey, do these dances make sense, are these from the 50s?鈥� And immediately she replied, 鈥楬ow old do you think I am?鈥欌��
Later, Fortch was able to bring JOSEPH on board, followed by Afroman, known for hits Colt 45, Crazy Rap and Because I Got High.
鈥淚 commented on a post (on Instagram), he messaged me and then we started texting back and forth and we worked out a deal and it was done,鈥� said Fortch. 鈥淚t鈥檚 funny because he talks exactly like how he raps in those songs. He forgot to text me back one time and when he did text me, it was, 鈥極h, sorry, I meant to text you back but then I got high.鈥� It was amazing.鈥�
Fortch said he started writing music when he was nine. He recorded his first single, a rap song, when he was in Grade 11 at Salmon Arm Secondary. It wasn鈥檛 exactly well received among his peers.
鈥淚 got made fun of a lot when that song came out,鈥� laughed Fortch, admitting there are things about the song he would do differently now. However, the song still earned him bragging rights after it was played on Eminem鈥檚 radio channel Shade 45.
