- 1.28 today ✨ Thanks for all the birthday wishes! ❤️ I wanna use this special day to announce that I'll do a tour and promo break after my show at Pacha, Ibiza on SEP 20 until next June when I'll be back for festival season (: I've gained an incredible amount of success, and with that a huge work load when I was only 20. During covid I had to restructure my team and manage myself for a while. so even when the world was on pause I didn't fully get to recharge. I wanna take some time to travel without a schedule, do lots of gardening, work on music, and to do whatever I feel like in the present moment. I will continue to release music & my team will keep you up to date. much love, Felix 🙏😘💥. 2022-08-28.
