I’m here for all Africans and for all Americans. I do everything with my heart. I’m a son of God. Everything I do is true, and I think that the Congolese people feel when you are real, when you are true, when you are authentic. I love what I do, I do what I do by love, and for respect. I love my job. I love people. Yeah, no. When I was growing up I used to appreciate artists like Tabu Ley Rochereau. That was my father’s music. Yeah, because music for me is not only to dance, to jump to. Music is also meant to make the heart vibrate. That’s why everyone today is asking me to play my first, first, first songs.
