Funky Fool
PAYS Belgique
GENRE Future-House/House
Funky Fool est très certainement un des jeunes talents Belges à suivre ! Talentueux, motivé et bosseur et en plus beau gosse, son avenir sur la scène Belge semble plus que brillant.
Funky Fool a commencé l'art du Djing à l'âge de 13 ans, dans sa chambre, comme beaucoup de son âge.
Très vite, l'envie de toucher plus de gens avec sa musique lui est venu et à 15 ans il mixait déjà avec des grands noms du milieu comme Vosky ( Party Harders).
Il enchaîne ensuite plusieurs bookings pour des petites soirées comme le bal de son collège pour ensuite mixer sur des gros events "outdoor".
Janvier 2013 Funky Fool fait son premier "vrai" gig au club Bruxellois le "You". D'abord booker pour les warm-up, puis en mid-night et finalement des soirées complètes !!!
Ensuite il passera entre autres par le Summer Festival, le No Man's World, le Fuse, les Jeux d'hiver, le Knokke out, le Bloody Louis et même l'ADE, à Amsterdam!!
Ses mixtapes ont même atteint le top 5 sur le iTunes Podcast Store pendant plusieurs semaines.
Signé sur plusieurs labels majeures comme Sony, Gold Digger, Nextgen, c'est à lui que l'on a demandé de remixer la célèbre track du Dj Henri PFR "HOME".
740.000 vues Youtube plus tard, joué par Martin Garrix, supporté par les plus grands actuels comme Lost Frequencies, Yves V, Angelz, Ookay, ce jeune Dj de Rixensart, ne risque pas de s'arrêter là, et c'est tout ce qu'on lui souhaite!
Funky Fool started dj’ing at the young age of 13. He first started as a bedroom dj exploring all the
possibilities of his dj desk. He quickly wanted to reach more people with his music and mixes.
