FouKi is the stage name of Léo Fougères, a Canadian rapper from Montreal, Quebec. He is most noted as the winner of the Felix Award for Male Artist of the Year at the 43rd Félix Awards in 2021.
Fougères began his career in music in the mid-2010s, forming the band Ségala with friends and releasing the mixtape Plato Hess before launching his solo career.
