Known for a thick, raspy vocal delivery, Dutch singer-songwriter FAIS pairs yearning, passionate lyrics with bright, tropical-infused dance rhythms. Major successes include the 2016 collaboration “Hey” with Afrojack and the 2018 single “Know You Better,” while his songwriting credits extend to David Guetta, Miss Montreal, Hiroomi Tosaka, and additional artists. Maintaining a steady pace of writing and recording, he issued “Love You More” in 2021.

Faisal Ben Said entered the world in Rotterdam in 1990. Early exposure to Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keys, and Michael Jackson prompted him to take up singing and piano as a child. His debut single, the 2016 track “Hey,” emerged as a sunny dance-pop anthem carrying yearning lyrics and was helmed by longtime associate Afrojack; it climbed into the Dutch Top Ten and ranked among the year’s most frequently broadcast radio songs. The further Afrojack pairing “Used to Have It All” also achieved platinum certification as a radio staple. Outside his recorded output, FAIS remained active as a behind-the-scenes writer, supplying 2017 hits such as Afrojack and David Guetta featuring Ester Dean’s “Another Life,” Afrojack and Luis Fonsi’s “Wave Your Flag,” and Hiroomi Tosaka’s “Wasted Love.” That year also brought the solo release “Ask Me Tomorrow,” while 2018 saw the arrival of another major radio success, “Know You Better,” alongside “Make Me Do” and the acoustic EP Reflection. “I Want You Now” followed in 2019, and he resurfaced with “Love You More” in 2021.
