Peerless, simply put. In an industry constantly inundated by new rappers every day, Fernando Moore, known as Nando McFlyy, has carved out his own category, with no desire to conform and with the sole intention to perfect his craft. Influenced by a childhood full of loss yet with the support of his grandmother and uncles, "Super Nike" Nando penetrates his listeners with an unbridled honesty and incomparable sound. At the tender age of 6, he suffered through an unfortunate circumstance: the passing of his mother, as a result of cancer. Without a father in his life, Nando began to pursue new interests, not to mention an untapped skill waiting to come out. In elementary school, sketching and rapping were the hobbies, but only until he arrived in middle school did Nando finally realize his potential for excellence, although knowing full well the necessity to focus. He received constant positive feedback from his peers about his music, further fueling his desire for something bigger than his own self. It was precisely this idea of music -- the journey to tap within himself a source of poetry and art -- that encouraged Nando to dedicate hours and hours writing and learning. Nevertheless, with setbacks constantly plaguing his life, Nando eventually dropped out of high school, but from his grandmother came the necessary motivation for Nando to obtain his GED.
Counterbalancing these consistent struggles were the blessed opportunities Nando has had to work with established artists in the local DMV area. Judah (Strange Music/http://www.myspace.com/judahbeats), for one, became an unwritten mentor for Nando in 2006. As a teacher of the game, with over 10 years of experience as of now, Judah advised Nando regarding the nuances of the industry and what is necessary to survive in a game full of scrutiny. Extracting unmatched knowledge from Judah's words, Nando further proceeded to define himself and to develop his unique craft. With two mixtapes under his belt ("TheCarryOut" and "S.N.E.S.: Sep Nando Everyone Sucks!"), and the humility to learn from established artists (for example, Studio 43/SRC/Universal's Marky) and producers, Nando continues to impress those who are willing to listen. Also present is his squad, Delorean Music Group (DMG) -- Lyriciss, Cayan, Deron, and Shawn Jay Layla -- a powerhouse of like-minded rhyme slayers who represent the DMV wholeheartedly but whose talent extends beyond all geographical bounds. Nando's cadence, breathing technique, wit, and lyricism are constant reminders to true fans of the progression of Nando and his willingness to lay himself out there, exposed for others to criticize. But his number one critic will forever remain himself. Thus comes his latest project, "Super Nike Nando", the third installment of his life's work and passion. It is the embodiment of his individuality ("I'm not a typical rapper. Difference between me and them, they play for cameras."); of his influences ("My grandma ain't raise no fool."); of the struggles he relates to ("I write for the people who need help paying - their lights due."), among many other topics. It is, simply put, music - the driving force behind his life and forever the very essence of his being.
