Legendary guitarist faugus izeidi is the man who found that nickname,while his real name was jean de dieu bialu makiese
he suggested him to turn jean into james and had liked in a dictionnary the name Madhi which means in indian great magician,great wizard so he could have become james madhi but madilu was not okay with it then faugus took madhi and mixed with the lu of bialu to create madhilu which became madilu because jean bialu was not writing the name well

Just learned Franco gave him the name System. I was so angry with him and the way OK Jazz broke up, I even boycotted his music while he was alive. I've learned to appreciate his contribution to the group. What a silky voice and if he was still alive I believe he'd be the only former member still releasing music on a consistent basis. Can't believe it's been ten years.
