Strongboi - Julien Tanghe

"a hazy blend of R&B-infused pop aspects, merging pastel-hued elements with bleached out yacht-pop bravado."

strongboi is a fresh project born in Berlin from a fiery collaboration between Ziv Yamin & Alice Phoebe Lou. Started as a passion project between two close friends, with a super lo-fi vision of using mainly casio keyboards & toys, strongboi has now evolved into a full band project that still emulates it’s lo-fi beginnings but whose live shows take you on a journey from disco dance tunes to jazzy ballads, all forms of expression are on the table.

Having released 3 singles in 2020 that put them on the map, strongboi is returning with their debut self titled album, recorded at their studio, La Pot. The album is a fun and wild offering from the duo, spanning many emotions and influences but very much their own, as they ready themselves to take these songs to the stage.

JULIEN TANGHE

Julien Tanghe is a Brussels native with a predilection for melancholic pop songs with catchy melodies and rhythmic pulses that hint at psychedelic, soul and r'n'b influences.

He's been active in several projects since 2014 — including Denali Wrench and JAKOMO — and 2024 challenges him to expose a forgotten part of himself with solo tunes, some of which reworked ideas that have been simmering for some time, as well as completely new stuff.
