François Xavier aka FKJ is a French DJ and producer, widely recognized by his stage name French Kiwi Juice. With his unique blend of electronic, soul, and R&B music, FKJ has gained a devoted following worldwide. His mesmerizing live performances showcase his exceptional talent as he effortlessly combines various instruments to create captivating melodies. FKJ's innovative soundscapes and smooth beats have solidified him as one of the most influential artists in the contemporary music scene.
FKJ's musical journey began at an early age when he started playing the saxophone. This passion for music led him to experiment with different genres and ultimately develop his signature style. Drawing inspiration from jazz legends like Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock, FKJ infuses elements of improvisation into his tracks, resulting in an organic and dynamic sound.
With several successful releases under his belt, including the critically acclaimed album "French Kiwi Juice," FKJ continues to push boundaries and redefine what it means to be a modern-day artist. Whether you're grooving to his infectious beats or getting lost in the ethereal atmosphere of his compositions, FKJ's music is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression on your soul.

Much of V I N C E N T is wilfully romantic, sometimes super sexy, and often with its head in the clouds, as on tracks like Us, a dreamy ode to his wife, June, or IHM, which has a 90s hip-hop flavour slowed right down to lights-out tempo. Not entirely a solo record, ((( O )))) appears on Brass Necklace – which has the soft power of The Internet and Stevie Wonder's keys. It's no wonder that lead single A Moment of Mystery, featuring Toro Y Moi, has a spacey vibe: while recording in San Francisco together, FKJ, Toro and his keyboard player Tony took some of what Tony called "holy water" – "we shared this bottle and took a bit of a trip," laughs FKJ. The result is a gentle electronic ode to long-term love that could rival Tame Impala for melodic progginess.
