Félix Fivaz is a Swiss drummer, composer, producer, and educator. 

Born in La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1990, he grew up there and formed his first bands. After studying social work, he decided to prioritize music, immersing himself in various musical projects and gaining experience across genres. In 2011, he began professional music studies at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HSLU) in the Jazz Department, where he studied with notable musicians such as Norbert Pfammatter, Gerry Hemingway, Dominik Burkhalter, Heiri Känzig, and Thomas Meier. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in Music in 2015 and a Master’s in Education in 2017. In 2016, he received a scholarship for young jazz talents from the Friedl Wald Foundation.

Félix is known for his passion for instrumental practice and experimentation. His distinct sound, touch, and energy give his projects a unique musical identity. Having performed over 1,000 concerts, he remains deeply committed to infusing each piece of music with individuality and purpose. He has played at renowned Swiss and international venues and festivals, including Eurosonic, WOMAD, Les Transmusicales, Reeperbahn, Les Vieilles Charrues, Paléo Festival, Festineuch, Montreux Jazz Festival, Moods, La Case à Chocs, Fri-Son, Les Docks, and L’Usine. His tours have taken him across Switzerland, France, Canada, the UK, Spain, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Lebanon, and China, often performing with Muthoni Drummer Queen, Frida, Arthur Henry, Koqa Beatbox, Menura, République Atypique, and Cinq.

In 2020, during the lockdown, Félix opened a new chapter by releasing his first solo album, "Couleur Trauma," showcasing his talent as a composer and producer. This milestone gave him the confidence to produce and compose for other artists, as well as for film, theater, and dance projects. He has collaborated with Lebanese artist Frida, Swiss rapper Jonas, and jazz singer Carolina Katun, among others. His partnership with Frida has been particularly fruitful, resulting in two EPs recorded in Switzerland and Lebanon.

In 2024, Félix released "Felt," an EP featuring a collection of minimalist piano solo pieces that highlight another facet of his artistic expression. He also co-produced the latest album by his band Cinq and regularly mixes and masters projects for other artists in his studio in La Chaux-de-Fonds.

Beyond performing, Félix has been teaching drums for 15 years at various music schools in Switzerland, including Collège Musical and Ton sur Ton in La Chaux-de-Fonds, as well as EMJB in St-Imier. He works with cultural mediation organizations such as Usine Sonore, Assciation Fluorescence or La Marmite, giving workshops or working with bands on topics like band dynamics, improvisation, electronic music, beatmaking.
