FKJ stands for French Kiwi Juice. Since his eponymous debut album “French Kiwi Juice” (2017), Frenchman with New Zealand roots Vincent Fenton has become one of the most popular acts on the contemporary music scene. It is no exaggeration to describe the multi-instrumentalist, producer, singer as an absolute virtuoso. He travels effortlessly between various genres: French house, soul, jazz, funk, R&B, pop and cinematics. FKJ can and plays everything — at the same time. FKJ speaks a completely unique language: It is warm, organic, elegant, physical and deeply rhythmic, never excessive, deeply catchy and simply brilliant.

About the event

FKJ stands for French Kiwi Juice. Since his eponymous debut album “French Kiwi Juice” (2017), Frenchman with New Zealand roots Vincent Fenton has become one of the most popular acts on the contemporary music scene. It is no exaggeration to describe the multi-instrumentalist, producer, singer as an absolute virtuoso. He travels effortlessly between various genres: French house, soul, jazz, funk, R&B, pop and cinematics. FKJ can and plays everything — at the same time. FKJ speaks a completely unique language: It is warm, organic, elegant, physical and deeply rhythmic, never excessive, deeply catchy and simply brilliant.

His songs are incredibly dense and complex and yet inspire with inimitable lightness and infectious groove that is second to none. The recorded live performance of the song “Tadow” (2020) with Masego becomes a viral hit on YouTube. The song shows the quintessence of what FKJ is all about: spontaneity, versatility, euphoria and supposedly effortless lightness. Layer by layer, FKJ builds entire songs in front of the fans' eyes. Through looping, saxophone, guitar, keys, bass and voice, he develops his enchanting vocabulary.

Since his second album “V I N C E N T” (2022), the celebrated genius has become a permanent guest at the most important and biggest festivals in the world and has played in the most prestigious places that our planet has to offer: Coachella, Red Rocks in the USA, The Apollo in London, Le Zenith in Paris. Collaborations with greats such as Carlos Santana, Little Dragon and Jordan Rakei follow. But the uninterrupted momentum and the consistently ongoing world tour come at a price. When the ground threatens to break away from under his feet, FKJ returns to what is important to him: balance. From now on, the big stage is contrasted with time alone and loved ones. The result is an unprecedented wealth of inspiration and artistic power. The collaboration with jazz giant Yussef Dayes immediately sets new standards and his new album “Tyber” (2026) catalyzes the realisation and manifestation of this new, healthy and mature self-image.

FKJ's music doesn't rush, it opens. It is soft, precise, human, sensual and profoundly inspiring, and even more: it touches deeply and stays in the heart and ear.
