The Santa Barbara, California native, Dawson Fuss, was born to do music. Since before he could speak, he has been humming along to songs on the radio. When he was 5 years old, he began starring in musical productions and various musical programs. This encouraged him to start pursuing a career in music. He desired to turn his emotions into words through songwriting.
“I come to life whenever I can perform in front of an audience,” he says.
Today, Fuss releases a brand new music video for his song, “Free.” This track was directed by Anastasia Delmark and illustrates Dawson’s journey through coming out and self-acceptance.
“I didn’t want to come to terms with myself being gay and thinking that I would be carrying around a burden my whole, but once I realized that coming out was something to take total pride in and let go of the walls I created for myself, rather than something to avoid, I felt like I was truly ‘free,'” he describes.
The video takes place in nature and features multiple scenes of Fuss and other females free dancing. In one scene, Fuss is inside a box made of plastic material, while the females surround the box and dance. Throughout much of the video, there are scenes of Fuss in serene, white garments. It illustrates a very peaceful and relieving scene and set of emotions, and I feel like that’s what he is going for in this video. It’s simple, but it illustrates what it represents to him, and that’s what makes it’s so great.
