He was born in Clichy la Garenne, France, to parents of Nigerian origin, and raised in the urban Noisy le Sec. He was a founding member of the rap crew OFX, and later the groundbreaking Saian Supa Crew in 1997 at the explosion of French hip-hop. SSC lasted a decade, eventually splitting in 2007. Féfé issued his first solo album, the stylistically diverse Jeune à la Retraite, in 2009 with collaborative help from numerous artists including Dan the Automator and fellow SSC alumnus Sir Samuel. He also participated in the Haitian earthquake relief single "1 Geste Pour Haïti Chérie" and was featured on K'NAAN's "Wavin' Flag [Celebration Mix]," both in 2010. His sophomore full-length, Le Charme des Premiers Jour, was released by Polydor in May of 2013.
