QUANZA (NL)

Quincy Fung-Loy, known mononymously as QUANZA, is a Dutch-Surinamese producer, guitarist, composer and Musicology student at the University of Utrecht. After hearing Jimi Hendrix for the first time, QUANZA began teaching himself how to play guitar at the age of thirteen. A few years later Flying Lotus had the same effect on him, which started his journey as an electronic music producer. His eclectic musical vocabulary resonates through his productions as he combines live instrumentation with electronic music. As a result, his music fuses different aesthetics that range from Electronic Jazz to Avant-Garde Hip-Hop.

His music has already attracted the likes of CARISTA, who asked him to contribute to the first release of the Utrecht based record label United identities’ compilation album: ‘Modern Intimacy’. His debut track ‘A Death Supreme’ on United Identities, gained early support by Louis Vuitton’s music director Benji B who played it on BBC Radio 1.
