Originating from the 20th arrondissement of Paris and is of Congolese origin,[1] he was passionate about hip hop, rap, and French and American R&B. After seeing his beginnings, Brownie Dubz Gang collective started calling him Mr. Franglish because of his mixed freestyle.[2] He collaborated greatly with the rap group BFBC originating from Montfermeil. In 2013, he released his own Franglish Prototype, followed in 2017 with a second mixtape Changement d'ambiance[3] and a third in 2017 as Signature.
