Ferdi

A native of Marchiennes in the Nord department, jazz saxophonist Ferdi (born Ferdinand Lemoine) studied at the Conservatoire national de région de Douai, then at the Conservatoire royal de Bruxelles, where he played on the local jazz scene. He made a name for himself on social networks and collaborated with trumpeter Béesau, singer Isadora and producer Dabeull, before financing his first EP Val Duchesse (2022), through the sale of a jersey of footballer Jean-Pierre Papin. Featured on the album Eternel de Scylla, Ferdi signed his first album Romance in 2023 and attracted the attention of pianist Sofiane Pamart, who invited him on Noche and dedicated the track "Ferdi" to him. The saxophonist also collaborated with the group Chinese Man, and in 2024 released his second album Take 01, on which he welcomed Sofiane Pamart on "Montreux Palace". Take 01 enters the French charts at number 126.
