Femi and the Foundation is a band on the rise. Channeling the spirit of The Roots, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fugees, and Erykah Badu, they balance raw and rooted musicality with fearless experimentation in a fusion of funk, rock, hip-hop, and r&b -- lending additional influence from afrobeat, psychedelic rock, blues legends, and modern jazz innovators.

Based in Washington, DC, they have quickly established themselves as a headlining act and as broad-reaching collaborators, drawing large crowds at some of DC's most iconic regional venues. Their 2024 EP, Build for Us, showcases this evolution, with a full-length album "Wrong Side of the Sun" coming in August 2025.
