FineBoy

Ivorian Elisee Akowendo is a Franco-African singer/songwriter/drummer/producer, from Abidjan. A keen music fan from the age of 7, he grew up surrounded by some of the Ivory Coast’s most popular gospel performers. In his mid-twenties, he was spotted by a pastor who signed him up to lead a musical program in Israel, which led him to settle in Tel Aviv in 2006.
Soon after, he created the Groove Ambassadors: a collective of dancers and musicians from around the world. In 2016, they released their 1st single, “Na African Style” and went on to produce a series of colorful music videos to go with their repertoire; including one for the Africa Cup of Nations promotional TV campaign.
In 2016, he went solo, and was signed by APE RECORDS, and has since been busy collaborating with some of Israel’s leading artists.
Whilst still staying proud to his African roots, Elisee aka FineBoy continues to feel a strong connection to Israel, a country which has offered him many opportunities to develop his career as a professional musician.
Elisee’s created his own genre of music, “TRADI-TRAP”; a mix of Afrobeat put to folkloric sounds and vocalizing melodies, with rap.
His upcoming single, "Whatsapp Location" produced by his own label, FineBoy Productions is slated for release on 18.3.22 on all the digital platforms and is an Afrobeat song.
FineBoy believes that honor and honesty creates a more productive life, and everyone should try it, all while listening to his fabulously uplifting grooves
