“I went from living with five of my homies in the back room of my dad’s house, struggling to get 99-cent bean and cheese burritos and picking cigarettes off the sidewalk, to having a whole bunch of money,” Sueco says, laughing. “I could rent this big house and everyone had everything they needed. It was a very big life switch. I went from being broke to being the person with the most money I’d ever known.”
Like many artists of late, TikTok played a pivotal role in Sueco’s success. He’d been dropping music to SoundCloud for a few years before “fast” came along, but none of his earlier singles resulted in a trending TikTok sound or millions of streams on Spotify. “At the time, I knew that it was something special before we even released it,” Sueco says. “I always send my music to my friends and to girls. Usually, people will be like, ‘Oh, I like this.’ But everyone called me and was like, ‘Holy shit, you need to release this.’ So I knew it was going to do something, but I had no idea it was going to do what it did.”
