Firungi (meaning ‘foreigner’ in Hindi) is a Brooklyn-based artist exploring modern identity through rhythm.
Rooted in global percussion, his work treats the dancefloor as ritual rather than genre — a space where people step outside fixed identities and move together.
Rather than drawing from a single culture or sound, Firungi’s music reflects the reality of contemporary life: fragmented, questioned, and constantly in motion. The focus is not nostalgia or fusion, but presence — music designed to be felt in the body before it is understood.
Active in club culture since childhood, Firungi has developed a distinct, percussive language shaped by years of immersion rather than trend. This approach has earned support from artists and institutions across the electronic spectrum while carrying him through clubs and rooms worldwide.
Beyond music, Firungi operates as a broader cultural project through Fly Foreign Records and limited-run clothing capsules — extensions of the same idea: movement as identity, rhythm as common ground.
Everyone is foreign somewhere.
Everyone is Firungi.
