Biography

Originating from East Harlem, Mr. Fantastik and Slim Pikins make up the duo known as Euphon. With their name deriving from euphony (defined as pleasing or sweet sounds), Euphon feature an eclectic blend of jazz, funk, soul, and hip-hop that many have compared to the late-'80s and early-'90s Native Tongues sound. The group's debut EP, Euphonics, was released in 2003, followed by 2006's Euphonics Redefined and A Brief History of the Future, released in 2007. ~ Vincent Thomas, All Music Guide
