Thad ‘FriskOlay’ Whyte aka Fuxn Frisko D. Weirdo was born June 26, 1987 in Anaheim California. Being the son of super-athlete Devon White, Frisko was exposed to sports at an early age. In 2005 Frisko attended Morehouse College to play basketball and study engineering in Atlanta, Georgia. Prior to college, Frisko’s music exposure came from 3 places: concerts, dancing, and parties. Going back to his childhood days, Frisko and his cousins, friends etc. always attended the concerts rolling in through town, and some out of town as well. From Janet Jackson to Jay-Z (numerous times), Usher to Weezy, BBD to Chris Brown’s first college tour, Frisko was there.

Growing up, he remembers music always being played in the house where random acts of dancing would occur. Little did he know that through the years he was developing an appreciation and love for music. At 17, he began a production company, Sand Dollarz Productions, and began running teenage night clubs across the valley throughout Arizona. Making a name for himself and his high school crew, 240. Concerts and family living introduced Frisko to his love for the music, but the parties turned Frisko onto the business side of entertainment.

Being a young entrepreneur was the only option in Frisko’s mind for success. A young black man with tattoos, a dreaded mohawk, and a marijuana advocate aren’t too choice of characteristics in today’s ideal business world. Frisko lives by a saying he pieced together: they judge books by their covers, so just show ‘em the movie! “I am a very free-spirit, laid back and crazy at the same time. I’m weird as shxt… but that’s why you like me!” Frisko’s claim to fame is what he calls “werdplay” or “sound’n it out.”

“I mean, I’m very very smart. I know Latin, French, a little Spanish, math and common sense; I’m a wiz. So with words, I just pick them apart. Sometimes I spell out letters and sometimes I just spell words how they sound. Its something that I’ve always done for fun and rhetorical reasons and its helped my rapping in ways that I probably don’t even know yet.” Frisko is one of the founding members of Illustrious Few LLC, and as well as being an artist he is also a manager and co-CEO of the company.

Frisko “FriskOlay” and Nate “Nasty” Jetson together form the super duo “Frisko Nasty” and are the first and true genreless music group. From rock to rap, to r&b, to neo soul and even pop and reggae, whatever mood they are in they can surely make a hit accordingly. In 2009, during his first year of rapping, Frisko managed to find himself amongst the top rappers in Arizona list. Due to his global aspirations, this achievement was never a goal of his, but something that points out that there is nothing less than greatness and illustrivity in store for the young man and his iF family.
