FIGHTMASTER releases their debut full-length album Tolerance.
FIGHTMASTER is the solo moniker of queer, non-binary artist and advocate E.R. Fightmaster. Also known for their work as an actor, and widely praised for their role as Kai Bartley on Grey’s Anatomy—the show’s first non-binary doctor—they are a multi-talented artist stepping onto a different stage with laser focus.
On Tolerance, FIGHTMASTER explores growth, self-discovery, relationships, and the complex layers of how everything interacts, shape and mold, and through that what we “tolerate” along the way in the pursuit of becoming who you are.
“Tolerance is the most deliberate thing I’ve ever done. Every song has a goal. There are no random songs. I feel warm and soft about the album in a way I don’t think I’ve ever felt about a piece of my art before.”

Across the album are songs with heartfelt sharpness, with FIGHTMASTER pulling directly from personal life experience.
“I wanted to break through more personally on this album. I really wanted to give people a part of myself. So I didn’t walk into Tolerance with a character to portray. I would decide that a song felt good if it hurt a little bit. There had to be this real truth to it. And that requires a lack of wall between self and the audience.”

On Tolerance, each track forms a portrait. Tolerance shows that self-discovery isn’t a clear path, each moment, big or small, shaping your identity.
