Fellas | ‘Ndonti

Hailing from Toulouse, France, FELLAS is a groundbreaking Nu Jazz band that seamlessly blends Jazz, Hip-Hop, and cinematic influences to create a soundscape that’s as intense and sensual as it is emotionally captivating. Led by saxophonist Charlie Burg, this five-piece ensemble crafts music that transports listeners far from reality, into a world defined by raw emotion and vivid storytelling.

On stage, FELLAS is known for their dynamic collaborations with rappers like Oggy Nilz and Wisley, as well as singers and jazzmen like Daoud. They fearlessly blend influences and genres, resulting in a hybrid musical project that has quickly garnered attention from stylists, designers, photographers, and directors.

Inspired by the likes of BADBADNOTGOOD, FELLAS embodies a childhood dream realized. Their passionate adventure in music promises a future full of innovation and boundary-pushing performances, making them a band that’s not planning to slow down anytime soon.

Their debut EP ‘NDONTI acts as a trailer for the future LP « DINDI » with the introduction of the character « dindi » and the mentality ofFELLAS.

Charlie grew up in France but also, in parallel, with his Italian family. Since he was little, they made him understand that he was a “dindi” and that he belonged to a small clan within his family. As he grew older, he realized that his family was involved in more than one adventurous and often illegal stories. It took him almost 20 years to find out what DINDI means. DINDI comes from Veneto (an Italian dialect from Venice) and means « MONEY ». Charlie discovered the Movie A Bronx Tale and drew a parallel between the movie and his life. He draws inspiration from this to form his group FELLAS and his upcoming album “DINDI.”

Their debut single ‘DINDI’ introduced people to their world in March 2024, and tells the story of a young man who arrives in a new city. The young man is alone and delves deeper into a city that becomes increasingly crowded and dirty. We come to understand that he has arrived with bad intentions. Shortly after, this was followed by ‘CAN YOU FEEL MY EYES ON YOU’, the second single from their forthcoming debut record.
