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.

FKJ is a virtuosic multi-instrumentalist and producer with one foot in the new world and one in the old, making soulful, limitless music for a restless, genre-fluid generation. His songs blur jazz, soul, folk, rock and experimental beats with an intricacy and intimacy that puts him on a par with the likes of Tom Misch, James Blake and Jacob Collier. V I N C E N T is FKJ’s second album and signals a new dawn, not just as a go-to producer and remixer for artists like PinkPantheress but as an intriguing artist in his own right.

The concept for V I N C E N T came about during a solo trip to Los Angeles before 2020. “I just stayed in this house totally on my own, turned my phone off and had some time away from everything to figure out what I wanted to do.” He realized he wanted to tap into the freedom of being a teenager: “back then, I was making music strictly for playfulness, without overthinking it,” he says. FKJ brings his fans on this journey as he rediscovers the lost innocence in his life and music with his upcoming album, V I N C E N T.
