Lancey Foux

Who is Lancey Foux? What might seem like a simple question becomes an intricate and complex review within 5 minutes of chilling with the East London artist. After meeting up on a rainy day in South London to seeing him come alive in an East London studio, it’s clear that Lancey Foux is not one to be defined and in that medium is where he thrives. After making music for just under two years, it could be easy to assume that music was his chosen path. While this is true in parts, it seems that music is just one of many life choices he could have made; “I knew I could make music from birth. I believe that I can do a lot of things and it is just the path I knew I could focus on and consistently pursue and music was that. I’m just confident in myself”. Lancey Foux is confident. After admitting that he first started recording music for fun and making over 500 tracks by just freestyling over downloaded YouTube instrumentals, he first popped up on many people’s radars back in 2015. It was the release of his first full-length EP, ‘PINK’ that got people looking. The fact that the EP boasted 14 tracks was rule-bending to say the least and this non-conformity was something that rang true throughout, with a diverse pallet of inspirations and sounds. Not wanting to confine himself.
