It’s easy to relate to someone who has shared the same experiences and endeavored the same struggles of societies misfits and outcasts. Especially when you yourself have a story that burrows deep in emotions throughout darker chapters of your life. Burden, often refers to himself and his listeners as “The Underdogs”, meaning the less fortunate, the misunderstood, and the more corrupted. He demonstrates pride in these features with his filterless honesty in which has been known to get him into trouble every now and again. But that might be just the thing that makes him stand out even more as an artist. 

Born Kenneth Bartels in Akron, Ohio, Burden had seen his father only a few times he can recall before his mother needing to rehabilitate herself from hard drug use took him and his sister Jessica to Tampa, Florida when he was around the age of 5. Where they would then begin a new life.

“I feel like all of it was for a reason. You have to understand there is no good without bad. I believe firmly in blessings whether they are bold and obvious or covered in disguise It’s funny but this damn Joe Dirt line sticks with me. he says; “you just gotta keep on keepin on man”. And that’s something I try to demonstrate, drive,” says Burden.

New album LEVELS out NOW! http://smarturl.it/FameOnFireLevels

Fame on Fire is genre-defying and pushing the boundaries of rock, hip hop, and heavy music, by unapologetically being themselves. Unpretentious, honest, and boldly brash, Fame on Fire has delivered a diverse, energetic, and emotionally-wrenching collection of songs for their debut album, LEVELS. Holding multiple meanings, LEVELS, is both about going through the motions of life, the various levels, ups and downs that all people can relate to, and about the quest to level-up and continue to progress and move forward. This dichotomy defines a band that is not willing to stand still or be complacent, but one that continuously tries to evolve their sound and craft.
