1/4 of Oxygyn

. : Sempliċiment Tat-Triq : .

​

Funky Monkey was born in Malta, 14 July 1998. Ever being in love with music, the journey in music started by learning basic music theory which lead to playing the Trumpet. Eventually he got interested in piano and started experimenting with the instrument. After some years he stoped playing the Trumpet and moved on to playing the Alto Horn. 

​

He was only 14 when he started finding his best musical expression through electronic music, and so he started to DJ. He’s also a producer, a job he considers different from that of a DJ, indeed the studio activity is based on a detailed research of updated sounds. Synth and drum-machines are some of his passions which he cannot help but use, considering essential the need of the hardware.

 

At the age of 17 he launched his first single, “Back In Town”. Funky Monkey was in the process of signing a record deal, but since he refused to give a genre to his Tracks, the deal was not accepted.

 

Therefore this meant that despite the music was accepted and up to all standards with the label’s releases because the music was not marketed in a specific genre it got rejected.

 

In today’s society and social inclusion do music genre help? and 1st of all do we rely need to put music and art in boxes? With this mindset he started questioning why was he trying to sign himself with a label that has a boxed vision for music.

 

This was the start of the 141 Records, seeing music as art irrespective of the genre.

 

Robustus which is part of his upcoming debut album "The BIGinning" was released in September 2017, along with its music video. This single, with Russian born artist Abel Nesian, is titled Robustus.

 

Funky Monkey is also the producer for: Oxygyn, REA, Iviè Skies along side other artist and other side project.

 

Funky Monkey's "Let It Fly" ft. Katia Abela and Maria Ellul, with is part of the 141 Universe.

My compliments goes to the all of you lucky winners, for the rest I wish you best of luck in the next game. Tagħżel lil min tiddefendi lill-ħbieb jew l-istat Min ħa jitqaċċat l’ewwel, mhux iċ-chief of staff? Jew il-logħba nkomplu nilgħabu, qisu xejn m’hu xejn L-aqwa li l-kbarat jitbissmu u iż-żgħir jorok l-idejn. Stqarija t’ infomazzjoni bejn il-gvern u l-oppożizjoni tal-kmamar tal-aħbarijiet naqa’ u nqum mir-rejazzjoni. Għax jekk l-istat qed jiffinanzja, l-kontenut nafu min jixtrieħ O’Malta tagħna għidli il għala anka ruħek qiegħed tbiegħ. Min għandu fuqna, qed ngħixu f’saltna tad-dritt? Bil-flus ħadna li ridna sa s-sistema therriet. Il-gvernijiet jilgħabu mal-ikbar entitajiet Għalhekk nixtru l-art publika, mingħand il-ħbieb tal-ħbieb. Aħna bilqiegħda nsegwu, jgħadduna biż-żufjett Mill-monopolju tagħhom, jibqgħu jdawru r-roulette. (x2) L-ebda spekulazzjoni, l-fatti jirrenjaw B’kilba għal ġustizja, nistennew naraw. (x2) B’hekk o’Malta tagħna daqt tindifen taħt it-trab Traba taħt traba għidli x’jifdal minn dan l-istat Permessi maħruġin; wieħed, wieħed, bħal pastizzi Allaħares ma jkunux oppożizjoni tal-Graffitti. Bżonn il-femminizmu, u ngħixu f’misoġeniżmu sfrenat? Għax vjolenza f’protesta paċifika tal-RIU bis-salvaġġ Tmur tagħmel rapport l-għassa jgħidulek li inti żbaljat Toħrog mill bieb il-barra, attitudnijiet tal-imbarazz. Aħna bilqiegħda nsegwu, jgħadduna biż-żufjett Mill-monopolju tagħhom, jibqaw jdawru ir-roulette. (x2) L-ebda spekulazzjoni, l-fatti jirrenjaw B’kilba għal ġustizja, nistennew naraw. (x2) B’hekk għax tkun flamingo qalb flotta ħamiem? għax biex jinbidel xi ħaga irridu ningħaqdu flimkien għal azzjoni diretta, nideddikaw il-ħin naqbżu għall-inferjuri u għal min hu miskin Sa mal-kbarat ibiegħu l-pajjiżna f’kuntratti u ċittadinanzi nafu li progressiv, qiegħdin narawhom l-avvanzi iżda l-moralita, l-etika u l-ġustizzja, ġara minnhom bħala ma ġara, lill Daphne Caruana Galizia.

Fester in your mind diabolic thoughts, Ought to make your nightmares grow. A blemish on your soul makes you miss the mark, Hit and run. Climbing up the staircase to heaven’s gate, One by one. Chorus: On cloud nine, Away from your cries, Kiss them goodbye, Let them fly. All the odds against you prepare for war, Breaking your defences down. Apprehension taunting and traps you here, Hearing all your hopes pass by. Break out of the prison and catch the stars, One by one. Chorus: On cloud nine, Away from your cries, Kiss them goodbye, Let them fly. Find the silver lining in your dark cloud, Loud enough to light it up. Touching all the hearts of the human race, One by one. Reach up for the sky, woah, woah, Never let your feet touch the ground. Reach up for the sky, woah, woah, Let imagination fly. Kiss it goodbye, Let it fly. Chorus: On cloud nine, Away from your cries, Kiss them goodbye, Let them fly. #FunkyMonkey #FunkyMonkey141 #LetItFly #KatiaAbela #MariaEllul #141Crew #141Records Copyright © 2019 141 Records All Rights Reserved
