“Tommy Fly Guy is an aspiring artist dedicated to perfecting his craft.”

This is how local DC/Maryland/Virginia rapper Tommy Fly Guy’s biography begins on his Facebook artist page. It continues: “Hardly an hour goes by without him writing lyrics to future projects. After relocating back to the city of his Alma mater and home away from home, Tommy has found a motivation and drive to tackle all obstacles in his way.”

The Rough Draft episodes capture Tommy in his many elements of creativity. Be it recording, performing, or even being around family and friends, they all contribute to the best Tommy can give you. The episodes to come will show you the creative process and pursuit of success of Tommy Fly Guy.

A rough draft to most people may be a first attempt at composing an essay for class. In relation to a person’s work, a rough draft is a first try at what will eventually become your final and perhaps best work. Plainly put, a rough draft is practice. Everything we do in life teaches us a better way for the next time, thus making us better everyday.
