N'fa (born N'fa Forster-Jones) is an African Australian rapper born in London, but raised in Perth, Western Australia, best known as the frontman for 1200 Techniques. His father is from Sierra Leone.[1] Forster-Jones met Heath Ledger in primary school (Guildford Grammar School) and remained friends until the actor's death in 2008.[2] At young age Forster-Jones also dabbled in acting and appeared in a Tim Tam biscuit commercial and a small role in the film Queen of the Damned - a 2002 film adaptation of the third novel of Anne Rice's, starring Aaliyah and Stuart Townsend.[3] Heath Ledger (child hood friend of N'fa) conceived and directed two video clips for his Cause An Effect solo album in 2006 ("Seduction Is Evil", and the title track "Cause An Effect". As of 2006, Forster-Jones has shipped over 50,000 albums with 1200 Techniques alone.[4] In 2010, N'fa re-released the song "Cause An Effect" remastered as an EP with various remixes of the track and video clip on iTunes.[5] In 2011 N'fa became known as N'fa Jones (with the introduction of his surname) with the release of the collaborative single "Wayooy" Ft Roots Manuva and M-Phazes, the lead single from his soon to be released EP "Babylondon" on Australian Independent Label Rubber Records, who he originally signed to with Hip Hop act 1200 Techniques.
