WHO ARE FUNK SHUI PROJECT
“Andare Via” is the title of their first published work accompanied by the metrics of Kiave, whilst their first official album, with the same name, was released in 2014 together with rapper Willie Peyote, with a framework of various mixtapes and bootlegs. In 2016, Funk Shui Project launched an audio-video project called “In The Loft” that led to new partnerships with various artists in the local area and beyond, with new arrangements created on the fly and recorded live. They first started working with Davide Shorty in 2018 resulting in the "Terapia di Gruppo” album, a work that made their name as one of the most interesting hip hop/soul projects in Italy. The great synergy that came to the surface during the "Terapia di Gruppo" summer tour persuaded them to continue their musical project together with Davide Shorty and the outcome was "La soluzione", the second album by this fortunate partnership. After the lockdown, Davide and  Funk Shui Project decided to release "La Soluzione Reboot", the reboot of their last album with new arrangements and two new pieces "Reboot" and "Carillon" featuring Roy Paci. The group’s current formation is with bass player-founder Alex “Jeremy”, beatmaker Natty Dub, guitarist  Daniele Fiaschi and Joe Allotta on drums.
