All ArtistsMC Fava has been active on the mic since 2001, starting out with the Jungle Club events in his hometown of Freiburg, Germany. A true chameleon, he moves effortlessly across the full spectrum of Drum & Bass — from deep rhymes and melodic vocals to energetic crowd-hyping chants. His sweet spot lies in melodic and atmospheric sounds that give his distinctive vocal range room to shine.
// Biography
Over the years, Fava has taken his passion for music around the globe, touring Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, South Africa, India, South America and the United States. He has hosted major festivals including Let It Roll, Beats for Love, Global Gathering, Outlook, Sziget, Mysteryland, Liquicity, Street Parade, Kendal Calling and Sun & Bass. His exceptional feel for rhythm and melody has made him one of the most sought-after MCs in Drum & Bass. Since 2014, he has been consistently nominated for the Drum & Bass Arena Awards in UK, regularly ranking among the Top 10 MCs worldwide. Eventually he won Best MC at the German D&B Awards in 2021, 22 & 23. His impact extends far beyond the stage, with a discography featuring around 150 releases on some of Drum & Bass’ most respected labels, including Hospital Records and Commercial Suicide. Following his debut EP on Spearhead in 2019, he released solo EPs on the legendary V Recordings and his own label ´Beatalistics´ in 2022. In 2023, his long-awaited 16-track debut album ´LIFETRACKS´ landed on Sun & Bass Recordings. Featuring collaborations with scene heavyweights like Makoto, John B, Klute, Seba, or Keeno, the album took the top spot at the German DnB Awards 2023. Following the release of LIFETRACKS, Fava took his music on a world tour spanning 28 countries, introducing audiences to his unique live concept ´Fava in Session´. Far more than a traditional DJ set, the show brings together three roles on stage: DJ, MC and vocalist. Performing everything himself, Fava combines live mixing, vocals, lyrics and crowd interaction in a dynamic hybrid performance that constantly shifts between DJing, singing and MCing. With complete control of both the music and the microphone, Fava’s high-energy DJ/MC sets combine three-deck mixing, rapid-fire rhymes, and commanding crowd control. No longer in the shadow of other DJs, he takes centre stage and has the skills and energy to rock any party on his own. One artist. Three disciplines. One stage. This is Fava in Session.
