Fjokra

Fjokra is a multi-instrumentalist from Dublin. Drawing influences from an eclectic mix of genres, he has been creating and performing music for most of his life since first beginning to teach himself piano at the age of three. Now based in London, Fjokra is live with his eponymous band and has gained a reputation for exhibiting a uniquely bizarre and electric live show. Collaborating as a performer, producer and instrumentalist with names such as The Clash, Tyondai Braxton (Battles), Reeps One, Lazy Habits and Hollie Cook, Fjokra is progressively building a name for himself as a unique and versatile artist. Off stage and behind closed doors, Fjokra is constantly writing and recording new material with an EP release scheduled for 2014. “Unique, insane and like nothing you’ll have ever seen before… we cannot recommend highly enough. This eponymous multi-instrumentalist from Dublin packs a punch in his music like no other. His songs sounds like they were all composed on a mad acid binge, whilst his attention to detail and multi-genre masterdom begs the question – why is this guy unsigned?” - Kat Jackman, Huffington Post “Sex music for metallers” - Peanut Baines, Kaiser Chiefs “The ever impossible to pigeon-hole Fjokra with the musical masterpiece that is Slyrex.” - Peter Donaldson, Absolute Radio “Todd Rundgren in Genesis listening to Muse while hanging out with Queen, Sikth and Quincy Jones who are all shagging Prince in Rush’s private studio on LSD dressed up as The Beatles mixing Psycore jamming with The Manhattan Transfer in a lost Gershwin musical somewhere in Iceland”- Dave Wibberley “Review of ‘The Old Time Nook’ – A psychophrenic trippy aural adventure with ‘jazz hands’! Intelligent. Creative. Blending musical styles in a unique way….the band are not just gifted they have mastered their craft. Intrigued to see a live performance!” - Vicki Blight, Absolute Radio Fjokra Live: Sam White – drums Freddie Draper – bass, vocals Jajo – guitar, vocals Annie Bea – vocals Fjokra – vocals, guitar, keyboards Buy the 'Thoughtsteps' EP from www.fjokra,com and iTunes: www.itunes.apple.com/gb/album/thoughtsteps-ep/id867533906
