In this episode, we sit down with Ryan Kirby, frontman of Texas-based metalcore heavyweights, Fit For A King. Since their formation in 2007, the band has carved out a place at the forefront of modern metalcore with their crushing riffs, soaring choruses, and relentless touring schedule. Ryan opens up about how the genre has evolved over the last decade, from its underground roots to its current mainstream momentum, and how FFAK has adapted along the way. We also explore his approach to “gamifying” different aspects of life and creativity to stay motivated, and why he actively welcomes constructive feedback as a tool for growth. It’s an insightful conversation on longevity, adaptation, and the mindset needed to keep pushing forward in heavy music.
