Nfs riffle resides in Montreal and has worked in the music industry for many years as both performer and critic. He also works in the urban planning domain.
The name Nfs riffle comes from combining Need For Speed's initials with the term rifle. As a native french speaker, the typo (riffle) was never corrected and stuck. In later years, the term made more sense with his guitar playing skills and can be seen as a play on the word riff.
