He combines the genres of hip hop, electronic, techno and French house in his music and is perhaps best known for his collaborations with label-mate and former girlfriend Uffie.

Career

Feadz began creating electronic and hip hop music in the early 1990s in Paris. He met fellow music producer Mr. Oizo in 1999 and the two began production on his album Analog Worms Attack which became extremely successful and the two toured the world to promote it. Then in 2001, after completing work with Mr. Oizo, Feadz was invited to join Ellen Allien's influential German electro record label, BPitch Control. On this label, Feadz released his first official solo work as an artist, starting with his first EP High-B in 2001. He would go on to release three more EPs on BPitch Control.

Feadz and Uffie began collaborating in early 2005, when she provided vocals for his track "Uffie & Me" (released on his Forward 4 EP). He went on to produce her first single Pop the Glock in late 2005 and they began to shop the single around to various record labels. In 2006, Busy P, owner and founder of the highly acclaimed French electro record label Ed Banger Records, heard the single and quickly offered record deals to both Feadz and Uffie. Feadz's longtime friend Mr. Oizo, was also signed to Ed Banger Records and the two produced Uffie's first five EPs from 2006-2010. Uffie became an international underground sensation, starting in 2006 with her singles Pop the Glock and Ready to Uff (produced by Mr. Oizo) in 2006, thus gaining Feadz fame.
