At my age; all I’ve been through, I want to relax and allow the people and things around me to be empowered, inspired, and as energetic as this music. I’ve had a pretty wild life, been through a lot since young, but it was music that brought me to the brighter side.

A healthy balance is a goal to achieve. I didn’t grow up listening to music with Congolese lyrics, but the beat of that drum is universal. ‘Kongo’ is out now on Pussyfoot Records. Stream it now.
