About us

FouKi (Léo Fougères) was born in Montreal on December 25, 1996, in the eastern sector of the Plateau-Mont-Royal borough, Plato Hess. Welcome to the world of FouKi, where you'll find the murmurs of back alleys, the gentle madness of parks, the din of the city and the echoes of the regions. FouKi's musical inspiration is multi-faceted: from here and abroad, Quebec and France, the Americas and the world, listening to sounds and words that jostle, cross and intertwine, from Quebec chanson à texte to folk and rock, blues to jazz, Latin music, reggae and R&B, to trap, hip-hop and rap... then Rap Queb! In his late teens, FouKi met his boys, first QuietMike dit le Michel Silencieux and Vendou, then Ségala, l'Amalgame and LaF. Finally, following his Plato Hess and Extendo projects, his meeting with Sam Rick and the release of Pré_Zay, FouKi signed with Disques 7ième Ciel. The album, Zay, was released on April 13, 2018, and soon, on July 13, 2018, the EP La Zayté was released, followed on May 3, 2019, by his 2nd official album: ZayZay.

In May 2020, the album Génies en Herbe is released as a duet with Koriass. On October 23 of the same year, FouKi releases the EP Grignotines, which a month later becomes the album Grignotines de Luxe, with 8 new songs. On October 17, 2022, FouKi hits the road with Zayon, the first single from his forthcoming album, due for release in February 2023. FouKi promises us a journey full of movement, an odyssey of sounds, images and adventures. FouKi's rhythm, his words, his stage presence, his personal creative projects and his very own universe, which he shares with his Zayquipe, QuietMike, Pops & Poolboy, Sam Rick, Ruffsound, Rousseau, Nk.F and Carole.

In praise of everyday life, with its often quirky humor and ever-revealing love, FouKi strives to catch the little things that add up to everyday life. FouKi's sound fuses genres, his dances enliven bodies and his words make you rêvazay, zayzayer. With Pré_Zay, Zay, ZayZay, Grignotines de Luxe and Zayon, FouKi invites us into his rap Zayphonie, with the taste of Grignotines and the smell of Gayé, on a road where the geography of the imaginary and the landscapes of emotions follow one another. At the end of the summer of 2023, the "80's" hit from his album Zayon is still at the top of the French-language charts, and has remained at number 1 on the provincial radio Top 100 for over 7 consecutive weeks.

November 17, 2023, surprise! FouKi launches a new album. With RAP CLUB, his 5th career album, FouKi skilfully fuses contemporary sounds with old-school elements. This opus stands out for its many and varied collaborations, hard-hitting rhythms and incisive lyrics depicting urban life, dreams and challenges. Marking 50 years of the genre and 20 years of Disques 7ième Ciel, RAP CLUB celebrates hip-hop culture and the Quebec rap family.
