He got his artist name when collaborating on the SLBMG project (Ski Leraar Bruin Money Gang – Ski Teacher Brown Money Gang) with Faberyayo, Sef, Spacekees in 2011.
He was then producing the mixtape Ski or Die and was constantly called Yung Felix by the others, Yung being a merge between the words Young in English and Jong in Dutch – Felix was only 20 years old at that time. He was initially not too keen on being called like that but eventually he decided to use it as his artist name.
Between 2013 and 2016, Felix worked a lot with the Amsterdam-based Yellow Claw DJ and record production group. In 2013, he released his first single called Dancefloor Champion, which unfortunately didn’t hit the charts. A few months later, he released another track called Doag with Great Minds and Kleine Viezerik.
After several years of radio silence, Felix came back on the scene in 2017 with new singles created with people like Bizzey, Josylvio, Adje and Hef. End of 2017, he produced the single Vroom for Famke Louise and Bokoesam, which received media attention and hit two million views within a week.
