fka.m4a

Berlin-based, London born DJ fka.m4a has become a stalwart of underground music with a heady blend of Italo Disco, high NRG and leftfield techno. With several Boiler Room appearances under his belt - clocking up over half a million streams combined - plus shows everywhere from Timewarp to Awakenings, features in Mixmag and Electronic Beats, plus Peggy Gou in his corner as a mentor, his stock is firmly on the rise.

Born in London, music was always front and centre in his family home, with his parents naming him Jackson after the Prince of Pop and his mother playing music to him through headphones while he was still in the womb. Citing acts whose USP was female empowerment as the first music he found for himself, the likes of Spice Girls and Lil Kim were early musical influences, eventually leading him to start DJing on the queer scene in London.

With an event series in the pipeline and a summer stacked with festival shows from Melt to Terminal V, fka.m4a has firmly cemented himself as one of the leading, up-and-coming artists in the underground space.
