We had the good fortune of connecting with Fuego Bentley and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Fuego, let’s start by talking about what inspires you?
I am inspired by life, the full experience. Life and death, Love and heartache. Success and failure. The complete and utter passion to be great at what i do, all the while inspiring, teaching and walking in my truth

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Getting to where i am today was not easy, I’ve been through a lot in my life, I’ve buried a lot of loved ones, I’ve said goodbye to people I’ll never talk to again, I’ve spent money I’ll never recoup and I’ve dedicated my entire 20’s to my dream and the belief of that dream. Fuego Bentley will be a brand name, my artistry is in the same category of the major artist you love and cherish today. I just lack the marketing and funding, the moment that matches my talent, where out of here, I promise

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
First thing i would do is take them to either STK scottsdale, WTF expo, Lo Lo’s or Bobby Q’s. I’ve got a lot of places i love to eat but those are the top ones. I’m actually a homebody so if it’s not the gym or the studio I’m not really partaking, but i do like club Monarch in downtown PHX. I also have a little spot close to Piestewa peak that over looks the whole city but it’s low key and i don’t like everyone knowing that location.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
