Childhood friends from Marseilles, Veazy, Friz, Houari, Bil-K and Jul formed
Ghetto Phénomène in 2006 and began performing live. When Jul embarked on a solo
career, Veazy and the other three continued their musical journey, releasing
several street-tapes without EPs or albums. In 2016, their collaboration with DJ
Kore for the film Pattaya boosted their careers. The group signed to Def Jam
France and, with Jul, released the hit "Maria, Maria", which reached over 17
million views in three months. Veazy is now planning to go solo.
