FKJ

The French sound sensation returns to Germany with its unmistakable groove

FKJ stands for French Kiwi Juice. The Frenchman with New Zealand roots, Vincent Fenton , has become one of the most in-demand acts on today’s music scene since his self-titled debut album “French Kiwi Juice” (2017). It’s no exaggeration to describe the multi-instrumentalist, producer and singer as an absolute virtuoso. He moves effortlessly between a wide range of genres: French house, soul, jazz, funk, R&B, pop and cinematic soundscapes. FKJ can play it all—and all at once. FKJ speaks a language entirely his own: warm, organic, elegant, physical and deeply rhythmic—never over the top, irresistibly catchy and simply brilliant. His songs are incredibly dense and complex, yet still captivate with inimitable ease and an infectious groove that’s second to none. The recorded live performance of the song “Tadow” (2020) with Masego becomes a viral hit on YouTube. The track captures the essence of what makes FKJ special: spontaneity, versatility, euphoria and an apparently effortless lightness. Layer by layer, FKJ builds entire songs right in front of the fans. Using looping, saxophone, guitar, keys, bass and voice, he unfolds his enchanting vocabulary. Since his second album “V I N C E N T” (2022) at the latest, the celebrated genius has become a regular guest at the world’s biggest and most important festivals, and has also played some of the most prestigious venues on the planet: Coachella, Red Rocks in the US, the Apollo in London, Le Zenith in Paris. Collaborations with greats like Carlos Santana, Little Dragon and Jordan Rakei follow. But the nonstop momentum and constant world touring come at a price. When the ground threatens to give way beneath his feet, FKJ returns to what matters most to him: balance. From then on, the big stage is contrasted with time alone and with the people he loves. The result is an unprecedented abundance of inspiration and artistic power. The collaboration with jazz giant Yussef Dayes immediately sets new standards, and his new album “Tyber” (2026) catalyzes the realization and manifestation of this new, healthy and more mature sense of self. FKJ’s music doesn’t push—it opens. It is soft, precise, human, sensual and deeply moving—more than that: it touches you deeply and stays with you, in heart and ear.
