ABOUT
Franck Biyong is a Cameroonian guitarist, composer, and singer, creator of the Afrolectric sound fusing Afrobeat, electro funk, jazz, and rock sounds. Attracted to music at a very early age, he spent most of his childhood in West Africa (Gabon, Nigeria, Ivory Coast) where he learned music. He left Africa for Europe where he started his musical career.
Franck released 20 albums and operates outside the lines which map the trajectories of African musicians in and out of the continent. Doing so, he gained a reputation over the last fifteen years as one of the very few authentic innovators of modern African music, blessed with a solid and sophisticated production, a celebration of diverse influences driven by a heavyweight spatial sound.
