He says he came from a musical family and already started singing from the age of 3 and he started his professional career at 16 he joined Choc stars, then briefly joined Big stars then after his time in Big stars he went back to his street group in Masina with Titi le Valois.
He was approached by Jolino to join his group and it was there he was able to participate in an album.
It's after this he joined Academia and was actually the first ever singer to be recruited from Kin but something happened and he ended up leaving and joining Quartier Latin just after the group returned from Bercy where he became known and was even in the clip of the Force de frappe generique and also participated in Affaire d'etat.
He was appreciated because of his talent but hints someone did something to him spiritually because at the end of one of the African tours his voice stopped working and he lost his voice and couldn't sing anymore (Jipson spoke about this with Ado Yuhe, that he was left behind for a tour in Africa and Paparazzi took his place then one concert he suddenly lost his voice and Koffi ordered his staff to get Jipson to join them).
It was strange for Paparazzi because his voice was gone and he was meant to go to Europe to participate in Zenith and Effrakata, but he got left behind because of that and he was at home sick.
Titi le Valois came to visit him and told him we're going somewhere and then to his surprise he took him to Binza to Emeneya's rehearsal, Emeneya asked him to sing and Paparazzi said he can't sing anymore and then Emeneya told him to sing anyway and Paparazzi sang and to his surprise his voice came back and Emeneya told him you're going to Europe.
He participated in the Zenith and Olympia concerts with Victoria and left the group and rejoined Quartier Latin when they came to tour in Europe for affaire d'etat.
He participated in the goodbye concert of Zenith in 2003 and Koffi told him the group is going back to Kin and Paparazzi told him he won't be returning to Kin with them seeing as he didn't even come to Europe with QL but he came to Europe with Kester, but he promised Koffi that he would wait for them for the next Europe tour and Monde Arabe recordings.
During that time he met Mbilia bel who invited him to a concert and during a rehearsal she saw something and told her staff to tell Paparazzi that when she saw him she saw a spirit of death that was looking for him and to tell him to look for a pastor to pray for him.
For him he feels it was a message from God this is what saved him, after the concert passed one day he was on the train and a young girl was looking at him and went up to him and said God sees you and he needs you which scared him.
He was at Gare du Nord and met another female who knew him from his time in Latino and she invited him to her church and he began attending church and feels it was just the Holy Spirit that saved him and it was from there he abandoned music and cut off the many girlfriends he had and became a born again.
He has been a born again Christian for 20 years and became a pastor and has stayed out of the spotlight since giving his first interview for over 20 years, he doesn't see the need to be like others to make noise on tv and the internet about his past life and he only wishes to serve the lord and help people.
He has been working on some religious music and is now planning to release an album after taking time out from any sort of music.
He's asked about Fally and how they both use the eagle he salutes Ipupa Nsimba as he calls him and says he likes him a lot and they know each other really well, he says both their eagles represent something different his eagle is one that that flies and uplifts people and send a prophetic image and it's what God gave him, he also has a radio called Aigle radio.
As for Fally he doesn't know what his stands for and he doesn't know when Fally started using the eagle logo and it has nothing to do with them both being in Quartier Latin.
He confirms there is nkisi in secular music and that 98% of people that succeeded in music definitely at one point used it, and confirms someone in Quartier Latin spiritually attacked him because he was for certain going to be on the list to go to Europe with QL in 2001 and then during the last show they had his voice was suddenly gone which made him lose his place in the group and made him miss the tour (Like I said Jipon hinted in an interview without realising that it was him that did it because he was losing his place).
Late Mama Amy told him "your friends here have already killed you go and protect yourself"
He was in the tenor section with Babia, Jipson, Eric Tutsi and Lola who was starting to go higher, Koffi started appreciating him more when he was able to sing Si Si Si and he interpreted Coumba Gawlo's parts during concerts and rehearsals which surprised everyone which earned him his place in the group and he got him on the list to go to Gabon.

what a transformation,you would not guess for one second that he was a musician,all the rest you can sense it a bit from jf,flamme,kojack,dakumuda and co
and even overall a massive transformation as a congolese there are people who stayed in europe longer than him but have not changed one bit still the same raw ki yanke way of living talking and acting
jf was saying that there was a known singer who passed from fally to werra or vice versa who will reveal in public when he has the courage extremely embarassing stuff about nsone and fally about how they have to do to you before ever promoting you  i wonder who it is because only eric ibrahimovic kalala as far as i know tried that move or maybe kanza now that he made the switch of music

Yeah he’s very different I was wondering for years where he disappeared off to until one of his ex QL colleagues confirmed he became a pastor. Even the way he acts he doesn’t act bitter and he doesnt even look how used to look back in the days, I’m glad he found peace but I do wonder what Effrakata would’ve been like if he participated
