Kid Fonque Artist Bio

Since the far of days when Kid Fonque was messin’ about with downbeat and hip hop, legendary and original “Liquid Lounging” (now Lilo productions) picked up on the flavour and booked Fonque for numerous classic underground parties including “More Togetherness” and “Bass and Blues”.

As nodding your head in chill rooms, 2nd floors & back bars in the Late 90’s early 2000’s was happening more often, a 2 ½ year residency at 206 came his way.

With a passion for music and a open environment to play in, Fonque’s taste and selection grew, instead of noddin’ the whole night you where finding yourself breakin’, noddin’, samba’n, and groovin’ to an amalgamation of sounds.

Friendships and essential partnerships came from this open-minded playing; soon enough Troy (Inspirit recordings) would join kid on his musical excursions.

Including a yearly partnership with G-Force at Rustlers called the “Eclectic ride”.

A variety in styles and flavours started putting Fonque on main floors rockin’ a different beat- housy, broken, nujazz, breaks whatever it was you where sure to hear consistency and quality throughout.

In January 2004 the Kid released his first mix cd called ‘Saladomundo’ on USM that has been critically acclaimed by the press (press quotes are on next page) and sold over a 1000 copies.
