I know they're Prince's engineer, but I know virtually nothing about this person.

What sex are they? What do they look like? Are they still around?

Tell me everything about Femi Jiya!

Thank you.

His name is Femi Jiya. He's english and an engineer. Worked with Prince on Batman and Rainbow Children and also in the rave in2

Not to mention Prince's Lovesexy opus.

Has also worked for numerous other artists including Stevie Wonder.

Correct me if I'm wrong!

Femi is an English/African man with a short fro (I'm guessing around 45), dark skin, about 5' 7" (my memory might be bad), with a vague accent, a bit of English in there, I think Nigerian? He is supercool to talk to, and somtimes also had to run to a storage cage and grab odd instruments for prince only minutes before a Paisley Park show...

he also respects the work put into micheal jackson's albums, and he agreed with my comparison of prince's avalanche" to Joel's "The Stranger" intro...

(he was quite accessible during the Xenophobia celebration)

Oh yeah, while he worked for Prince that last time (Rave, Rainbow) he lived permanently at a suite in the hotel (was it an Extended Stay or Days Inn?) within a minute of Paisley Park. It had a little kitchen.

He also apeared in a NPG Ahdio Show and was threatened to be deported by Prince if I'm not mistaken!
