Discography
Wetakeoff (Fabrice Gaba) is a French DJ, producer, and entrepreneur shaping the future of music with his unique blend of sounds and cultural influences. Born in Lyon into a family deeply rooted in the arts, he was destined for a life in music. His father, Christian "Gabelo" Gaba, a renowned musicologist and ambassador of Togolese music, and his mother, a painter, shaped his creative path from an early age. Before fully stepping into his own artistry, Wetakeoff built a solid career in music publishing and management. His journey began with recovering and managing his father’s musical rights, a mission that led to the creation of Takeoff Publishing / Wetakeoff, a music publishing company, studios, and label. Over the past decade, he has represented a diverse roster of artists, working with Grammy-winning composers, hip-hop innovators, and African music pioneers, securing placements in major projects like Donald Glover’s Atlanta on FX. After years of working behind the scenes—managing studios, curating Wetakeoff Camp, his creative residencies, and bridging the gap between Paris, Amsterdam, Los Angeles, and Abidjan—Wetakeoff is now stepping into the spotlight as an artist. His debut album, Wefly, is a sonic journey blending global influences, rich rhythms, and deep storytelling. With his motto, "Make sure your mask is secure before helping others," Wetakeoff embodies resilience, passion, and reinvention. Now, he’s taking flight—on his own terms.
