Heavily inspired by fashion designers Nackissa, Loza Maleombho, Elie Kuame, Gilles Touré, Ibrahim Fernandez and Olooh concept – to name a few – Ivorain musician Famas seeks to showcase African culture, tradition and identity through his discography.
His artistic identity as the street boy Noussi, in his hit single I Yêrê Kalon, is inspired by the Oliver-Twist-like underdog archetype, with dashes of Nackissa and Loza Maleombho’s design influence in his persona’s style.
Famas plans to collaborate with local and international artists in the coming years, and help other music lovers form a community around the stories and songs he crafts.
