After many years of artificial photosynthesis spent in his sound garden, now is the time for FiKus to harvest and share
Sound engineer and musician based in Marseille for over a decade now, Julien SAYEGH aka FiKus scatters and cultivates his electro / hip hop productions according to the people he meets.
Istanbul, London, Paris, Barcelona and of course, Marseille are the cities where FiKus acclimates best through creative and fertile musical soil.
8 Songs from his first album "Homegrown" are perfectly condensed wanderings of our southern green plant: sometimes contemplative, sometimes bodybuilded, FiKus’s tracks strung the ear in a very eclectic and powerful way.
Backed for the occasion by a string of musicians, Voodoo Ray, Mr Stixx and Last Man Standing (UK), Anton Dimberger and Gines Rodriguez (Cafetera Roja ES), Crech le Klebar, Mr. Torture and Cardiac, Elmo (Fr) and many more...
FiKus allowed freedom of expression for all, even if, ultimately, he is the head gardener who finalized everything and made it home grown...
