Dorian Williams (born June 13, 2006), professionally known as FearDorian, is a rapper based in Atlanta known for both his production work for other rappers as well as his solo discography. Musicians Williams has produced for include Xaviersobased, D0llywood1 and Na-Kel Smith.

Early life

Williams started making music in 2019, when he was 12 years old.[3]

Career

Williams garnered his first online following by posting videos of him dancing to songs by underground artists on the short-form video app Triller before pivoting to producing his own music.[3] Around that time Williams requested to join New York City hip-hop collective Surf Gang but was denied.[4]

In March 2024 Williams released his self-titled debut album. The sound of FearDorian was described as heavily influenced by a broad range of genres such as "rap, indie rock, and vaporwave" and lyrically preoccupied with adolescence.[5] Williams himself said that his goal was to hit a balance between melancholy and high energy, allowing for songs the listener can sit with as well as dance to.[6] That same year saw the release of multiple collaborative projects such as A Dog's Chance with Surf Gang's Polo Perks and Milwaukee lowend rapper AyooLii followed by Quiet Warp Xpress with RiTchie, the latter giving way to a European and UK tour.[3][7] A Dog's Chance was especially notable for its sample usage and the unorthodox origins of its samples which included songs by Teen Suicide, Carissa's Wierd, M.I.A., Bladee and Current Joys.[4][6]

Williams' sophomore full-length album Leaving Home was released January 31, 2025,[8] preceded by short music videos for several of the album's songs shot in the US, UK and Europe mirroring the album's title.[9] The album features returning collaborators such as Quinn, RiTchie, Polo Perks and Klein.[8] Later that same year Williams released Out The Past With A Window.[10]

Following the release of five singles, Before You Press Play, an album with long-time collaborator and Atlanta contemporary Quinn released in early November 2025.[11][10]
