"Do You Believe in Vodoo"

Voodo Fe' Mathelier

About

Voodo Fe’ Leon Mathelier was born the youngest of three boys in Brooklyn, NY to Leon and Feronie Mathelier. (And trust, his ass was as wild and interesting then as he is now.) Colorful stories of mischievous misdoings paint a pretty good picture of Voodo Fe’s beginnings, and it should come as no surprise that these misdoings served as the starting points for the talents and values that are his hallmarks today.

A nostalgic conversation with Voo will hip you to the time he and his brother, Ptah, became altar boys at their Catholic school for the pizza and the excused time from class. You’ll fall out laughing to hear him talk about drawing all over the school’s bathroom walls—including the ceilings—in permanent marker. Or maybe he’ll tell you about the time that he shattered his mother’s fish tank and the conspiracy plan to explain its occurrence. He may even fast forward to his teenage years, when depression began to set in and when his love affair with being a “weirdo” sparked a flame that would burn for the rest of his life. He’ll tell you what it was like to be called “ugly”, how one begins to live recklessly, and how one rises above it. Whichever story Voo decides to tell, there are constant themes that come to the surface—the hell bent drive to live life according to his own vision, and the love for music, art, and fashion.

Through it all, Voodo has developed into an unmistakable force. Known for his edgy style, his million dollar smile, and his socially conscious principles, Voo’s talents and expressions are the breath of fresh air that life needs. Currently working on his first solo album and his own clothing line, Voodo Fe’ is the total package of urban artist living.
