A 2011-ben alakult Funkorporation együttes finoman ötvözi az energikus és nyers garázs funk-ot, a jazzes soult a dallamos poppal. Megkapó riffek, hangsúlyos mélyek, csillogó fúvós részletek, energikus vokálok és pozitív életérzés változtatja koncertjeiket frenetikus zenei élménnyé.
Şuie Paparude, Compact, Byron, The Mono Jacks és Moonlight Breakfast illetve a magyarországi Heaven Street Seven, PASO, IRIE Maffia, Kistehén, Mörk, Ivan&Parazol előzenekaraként léptek fel.
2018-ban jelent meg két dal hivatalos videóklippel, FUNKorporation – Hold on through (official video) és FUNKorporation – Purple love (official video).
2019 december 16-án jelent meg a KRONIKL c. stúdióalbumuk, mely táncra invitál – hol egy dögös funky groove-val, hol egy szexi diszkós lüktetéssel, hol egy Motown-os időket idéző soulos-dzsesszes-popos fincsiséggel.

Concertele lor sunt intense, frenetice, de o exuberanţă neostoită. De neratat!
