Fayze came of age in Windsor, Ontario, a diverse, gritty Canadian city in the immediate shadow of Detroit. During the 1980s, this fortunate geography placed the local scene in the inner orbit of the emergent Detroit techno scene. From that starting point, Fayze fell deeply in love with experimental, original sounds. Today, his innovative, genre-defying soundscapes flirt occasionally with global schools like avant-pop and krautrock, but his sound is all his own.

Fayze’s music uses vintage analog synthesizers, which he’s been collecting since the early 1990s, to build organic, textural compositions, an idiosyncratic collection of ambient, dreamy soundscapes. His myriad influences include Aphex Twin, Stereolab, Led Zeppelin, and Boards of Canada.

A well-travelled creative professional by day, Fayze previously made music with Marc Houle and Marshal Sfalcin of King Kool Flipped. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
