Founded in 2003, Foco De Atelier has been an amorphous cadre of Dallas transplants from Latin America, Puerto Rico, and South Asia. As of Mid-2013 however, FDA has coalesced into a core group of 4 members who strive to bring their native musical roots and love merging it with contemporary rock and roll that both nods to their diverse backgrounds and the Texas upbringing that brings them together.

Like many bands from Texas, FDA have the privilege to get inspiration and influence from cultures both embedded in Americana and Modern Pop Music as well the well-established musical tastes south of the border. This allows the band to easily create music both in English and Spanish and create songs that are sandboxes for experimentation and enjoyment.
