Fix Your Eyes: Megan Tossi Talks Faith, Focus, and Finding Her Sound
Life’s twists and turns often push us to question our focus and direction. For Megan Tossi, a Christian hip-hop artist, these challenges are both personal and profound. In a candid conversation with J. Harrington for Holy Coaster’s Artist Spotlight, Megan opens up about her journey of faith, music, and resilience.
The Birth of Faith and Music
Megan Tossi’s spiritual journey began early. Raised in a family that started attending church when she was seven, it wasn’t until she was twelve that she embraced her faith fully. This spiritual awakening provided clarity and purpose at a crucial time in her life, when anxiety and internal chaos threatened her peace. “Once I surrendered to God, everything started getting better,” Megan shares.
Her passion for music traces back to her childhood, where writing poetry became a sanctuary amidst life’s struggles. Writing transitioned into hip-hop, serving as a therapeutic outlet during moments of bullying—a theme she candidly discusses. These early experiences inadvertently laid the foundation for her career as a Christian hip-hop artist.
Embracing the Grind
Balancing her roles as a full-time artist, employee, and someone managing a chronic illness, Megan embodies resilience. She acknowledges the challenges of not being a full-time musician yet, and she remains steadfast in her pursuit. Her dedication is evident in her ambitious release schedule—particularly in 2023, a year marked by what she describes as intense grinding and creative output.
Her collaboration with RM G Amplify and local connections, like her relationship with fellow artist Jekasole, enrich her artistic life. These connections aren’t just professional; they blossom into meaningful friendships rooted in shared faith and purpose.
The Power of Vision: Creating “Fixate”
Megan’s latest album, Fixate, is a testament to her journey of maintaining focus amidst life’s chaos. Born from a vision during a moment of prayer, the album explores the struggle to keep her gaze on God despite life’s distractions. As Megan puts it, “It’s easy to keep my eyes on you, but then it’s so easy to take it off. How do I keep my eyes on you when everything is just constantly coming at me?”
The album’s cover art and tracklist were thoughtfully crafted to reflect this ongoing spiritual and emotional journey—from spiritual warfare to moments of worshipful peace. Megan’s distinctive sound—marked by a blend of softer undertones and a raw, powerful voice—delivers a mature and sincere body of work that resonates deeply with listeners.
Looking Ahead
Never one to rest on her laurels, Megan is already working on new music projects. While she looks forward to releasing a series of singles, another EP or album is on the horizon. Her dedication to her craft is unwavering, despite the demanding balance of her multiple roles.
Megan Tossi’s story is a powerful reminder of the resilience and focus required to navigate life’s challenges. Through her music and testimony, she continues to inspire others to keep their eyes on the goal, even when everything is pulling them in different directions. For those seeking music that moves the spirit and stirs the soul, Megan Tossi’s journey offers both a rich soundscape and a poignant narrative.
