Fitch Means, born William Fitchett Means on February 15, 1998, is an acclaimed American artist celebrated for his multifaceted talents as a singer, songwriter, and musician. Known for his smooth vocal delivery and electrifying stage presence, Fitch has carved out a reputation as a dynamic performer and visionary creative.
Raised in Philadelphia’s Mount Airy neighborhood by his mother, Charna Patrice Fitchett-Means, Fitch’s love for music began early. He picked up the drums at six, later lending his voice to his school’s gospel choir, and by twelve, he was a featured drummer for Jill Scott and the African Drum Line at the West Oak Lane Jazz Festival. Those early experiences sparked a lifelong dedication to music that grew during his time at Lock Haven University, where he honed his artistry through both live performance and formal study.
In 2018, Fitch made his official debut with the single “Secrets”, laying the foundation for a career defined by authenticity and versatility. His breakout project 2AM Drive showcased his ability to blend R&B, soul, and pop with narrative depth, leading to a national tour with Larry June. He later expanded his artistry with the 2023 release of Bloodlust, accompanied by cinematic visuals shot in Nassau, Bahamas.
In recent years, Fitch has continued to push boundaries. His upcoming album, Opulence, set to roll out in chapters beginning in 2025, explores themes of resilience, love, and legacy. Singles like “Lucid,” “Naughty,” “Hazey,” and “Cynical Problems” have already gained traction, earning him multiple Grammy For Your Consideration recognitions. Beyond his recordings, Fitch has performed on prestigious stages including City Winery, The Novo, The Peacock, Union Stage, and Live Nation venues across Los Angeles and New York, while also curating community-driven events through his company, HiiKii Events.
A Recording Academy member, Fitch is not only an artist but also a cultural curator and entrepreneur, dedicated to amplifying underrepresented voices through music, fashion, and live experiences. His journey from local Philadelphia stages to national tours and global recognition reflects a commitment to artistry that is both deeply personal and powerfully communal.
