Under the name Fäis, Rotterdam native Faisal Ben Said crafts soul-infused pop with global impact. A self-taught pianist and natural vocalist, he found his sound early, influenced by legends like Stevie Wonder, John Legend and Alicia Keys and shaped by a self-made path as both performer and songwriter. Fais broke through with the global hit “Hey” (feat. Afrojack), going 8× platinum and pulling in over 100 million streams. Follow-up singles like “Used To Have It All”, “Know You Better” and “Make Me Do” confirmed what fans already knew: his voice carries weight, and his songs leave a mark.

But Fäis moves beyond the spotlight too, building a quiet powerhouse career as a songwriter. He’s penned hits for global acts like Hiroomi Tosaka (ØMI), Luis Fonsi, Afrojack & David Guetta. Rooted in Rotterdam, but heard from Tokyo to L.A., Fais moves with melody, emotion and intention.
