Born
30 March 1979 (age 45)
Fatbwoi, a quirky upbeat acoustic artist presenting a unique take on the modern condition. A thang-shakin' zeitgiest surfin' force of nature and supplier of infectious grooves…
Songs about chicken, zombies, spies, broadband and lasers… all of life's essentials.
"Tex Mex meets Trash Troubadour" - KFFM
Difficult to pigeon-hole, over time his sound has been variously described as "complex", "conversational", "observational", "off the wall"… and a whole host of largely unrelated phrases…
"…followed by Fatbwoi who did a triumphantly surreal performance, very funny both verbally and visually. Zombies, computer games and Nando's chickens now have the gonzo alt-folk anthems they deserve."
- Kevin Hewick
An experienced live performer, Fatbwoi has been gigging around the country since 2006, always delivering an energetic show and making a lot of friends along the way…
He has even been beamed into space (via the medium of radio)… In 2012 'The Patient' went out on BBC6 Music! There have also been several appearances live in the studio on The Bridge 102.5FM…
In 2011 Fatbwoi released the 'Love Once' EP, an acoustic collection which was well received in all quarters. Showcasing a slanted world view the collection also featured the mighty Stereo Omar, and a quartet of warbling Fatbwoi's…
2012 release 'Parva Doodles', an 'alt-pop oddities' EP flung the doors to Planet Bwoi open wider still, featuring a completely different electric sound… It was well received, and even awarded a cool 5/5 in a Sonic Uprising review
There's some cool stuff in the works, including not only plans for the album, a host of other releases including an electronic album, new toys and new sounds… 2013 is going to be an exciting one on Planet Bwoi…
Shall we shake a lil' thang?!
although they are currently "on hiatus", 2009 saw the birth of the funk-infused behemoth Fatbwoi 5… Omar and John joined our intrepid hero, and that trademark 'peri-peri' sound was made larger!!!
