Nosfell

about

Labyala Fela Da Jawid Fel, better known as Nosfell, was born in the Paris suburbs on 1 December 1977. He grew up in a family with Berber and Italian-Spanish origins.

And from the age of 14 he began sharing aspects of this world via songs written in a made-up idiom, Klokobetz.

Thus, for the first time, international audiences discovered the weird and wonderful world of Nosfell and his bizarre musical universe made up of vocal pirouettes, rhythmic guitars and on-stage 'mime and movement.' The original young singer-songwriter soon started attracting increasing attention back home in France. Indeed, Nosfell went on to scoop a number of awards, winning two trophies at the "Trempli
