Andre Fili
UFC veteran and long time ‘Team Alpha Male’ member Andre ‘Touchy’ Filli had a love of hip-hop from a young age and has channeled that passion into making his own music as another way to express himself outside of the Octagon.
“I have a bunch of songs on Spotify and Itunes,” Fili told reporters after one of his fights. “It’s just something fun. I like to put stuff out and if people like it, people like it [and] if they don’t, whatever.”
Fili has released music both as a solo artist under the name ‘Touchy Fili’ and as a band, ‘O&U’ (Outcasts And Underdogs) and is confident that his music is better than most other aspiring MMA rappers.
“Some athletes make music and most of that s**t is corny. I make actual good hip-hop.”
Fili’s music has yet to garner much attention though, but he continues to release regardless and last month put out his latest single, ‘Drown.’
