In their own words
Solo artist Fii creates a sonic world all his own through the use of layered looping effects. Live in front of the audience, Fii weaves a song together strand by strand using lead vocals, rapping, drums, bass, electronic sounds and a palette of full harmonies. Amazingly, it’s not Fii’s incredible range or vocal dexterity that garners the most praise, but rather the infectious energy of his performances. This live looping artist simply has to be heard to be believed. But get ready for a mosh pit up front. Fii’s artistry will get you dancing!
His first solo record released in 2011, “VoxBox”, is a translation of World Music, Electronic Beats and Pop Music into a cappella. It‘s original, vocal-only, electronic dance music, performed with nothing more than a microphone and a loop station. As a voice artist, he has played over 1000 shows on four continents, and achieved several awards for music and comedy in Austria, Switzerland, Germany and the U.S., including the Boss Loop Station World Championship @ NAMM Show 2011, the 2009 Austrian Newcomer Award, the Guiness Book Beatboxing World Record, the 2008 CCA Gold for Best Radio Spot, and Best Original Song at the 2008 Chicago Harmony Sweepstakes.
