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.

S.Y.O.R Outlaws
The year is 3020 CE. Our story starts out with a huge explosion coming from the First International Bank. Behind the smoke and flames stand four guys calling themselves S.Y.O.R (sure). The members of S.Y.O.R are Maza, son of the current Vice President. Kid Subliminal, of the Martense Family, Ceddy, one of two survivors of Cozack Corporation's (The Government) top-secret Project Evolve, and 07017 former assassin/ Spy robot. They proclaimed that they came to free the people from Cozack Corporation, encouraged them to remove their civilian chips and live under the radar.
700 years ago, a man by the name of Kerry Cozack rose up from out of the Western American Alliance. His emergence marked the end of the period known as the second dark ages. Cozack eventually managed to become the world's first global president. He ran uncontested for 23 years; with the aid of his Cozack Corporation, upon his death he managed to transfer his consciousness into the super computer he constructed. He controls today's Global Presidency through the Cozack Memory Program (advanced version of civilian chip with Kerry's consciousness embedded in it, its host is possessed by Kerry).
2823 CE marked the beginning of the century of the outlaw. Groups started rising up from out of The Desolate Zones (dilapidated towns and underground societies located on the outskirts of major cities) causing trouble in nearby cities and towns. They vandalized property, destroyed government buildings, and ravaged cities to make their presence known. It was not the groups that proposed anarchy that worried Cozack Corporation. They focused their attention on the more charismatic ones, the ones that stressed being " free".
Originally S.Y.O.R was no different from the hundreds of other groups out there that all formed as a way to get back at the world government/Cozack Corporation. It wasn't until Maza stumbled upon a time capsule containing books, music, movies, and other relics from the past that gave a glimpse at what the world was like before Cozack Corporation came into power. More importantly in this time capsule was a letter that shed light on how the world descended into such an abysmal depth of totalitarian rule. In the last few words of this letter was the phrase that became the acronym that they now go by. "Start Your Own Rebellion."
