he says he started in street groups and he is the man who trained gentamicine and he even had problems with his family because genta started to skip class to rehearse with him and then some time later he was in the group which played before wenge 4X4 stepped on stage and he impressed and since a lot of wenge musicians did not come that day he stepped in as soloist in a backline of him,kusangila on rhythm,christian mabanga on bass and seguin on drums
after that he worked in private with titina,kusangila and co when they were rehearsing feux de l'amour so there are some parts of feux de l'amour which are his but he did not join wenge 4X4 and went to join wenge kumbela with the likes of alvarito,jordan,zakoko,francoise marcation and co and shortly after they left as aime buanga was remaining too much in europe and there was tests for pierrette adams group so he went with alvarito and most of that kumbela backline and they were picked among hundred of musicians and they were taken straight away to ivory coast where pierrette adams was leaving and it was a huge change in their life since she was the wife of the director of african section of group malboro so he has quite wealthy and his first contact with koffi was on 1st april of 2000 as koffi attended a pierrete adams concert and he was so impressed that he asked to take guitar and play a bit also as he was excited and months or years later koffi came again and sent fally jordan and bouro to look for him and its year after that he joined quartier latin but he had to wait for a while since there was the likes of tyson poumpa and mbetenge and he was playing rhythm a lot until abracadabra where koffi allowed him to play solo a lot and he became chef d'orchestre and he left because he felt he was not promoted well since koffi got very pissed and hurt by musicians since most of the danger de mort team left within months and he asks koffi to forget that and start promoting guys again because there are talented guys in the group,he would have for example liked koffi to shout his name more or put him on clips since its harder for them guitarists to get fame and its advantages likes for example when guys come on stage to give money
and he reveals that he did not attend a quartier latin angola tour because his children was sick and he had to look for money to take care of her( and he went to get money from jb at the moment were relationship was starting to become bad without him knowing)
and after some session work he joined heritier's group as him and heritier got on well already for a while and he knew he'll be an important member
