Born in Ottawa.
Grew up in Côte d’Ivoire. Returned to Montreal to pursue studies to become a … banker! But his life was completely transformed in the early 2000s when he discovered the Kalmunity Vibe Collective with its community of singers, poets and rappers improvising live to all kinds of music. Since then, Fabrice Koffy slams. Winner of several awards, this rebel—as he likes to call himself—revels in playing with words. He manipulates, assembles, and eloquently chants them to different beats. His skill is such that he also teaches the art to youths in schools and community centres.
