Yeah you might be right during that time or even earlier he could've made it as a solo artist since he had the likes of fally bouro and other youngsters training at his house imagine if he created a band he could've gone big since he's also a brilliant songwriter had he not disappeared after leaving zaiko in 99 and 00

It was a big mistake of Willy Bula to leave Zaiko before the release of Poison. His song Revelation was a huge succes. I remember Nyoka Longo being angry that he left with him removing Revelation from the second stock of Poison.

I don't think that Willy Bula would succeed as solo artist in that time, because he had not a big fanbase like JB Mpiana in 1990, Werrason in 1993, Ferre in 2004 or Alain Mpela in 2003. It was difficult to succeed as solo artist in that era, because there weren't in Kinshasa based labels anymore like in the '80s and '70s (VEVE, Parions, etc.), who were supporting youngsters. Otherwise bands like Promise Musica, Kibinda Nkoy, SVP La Gamme, etc. would have succeed and take over Wenge Musica's place, like Wenge did to Victoria Eleison in 1989. Don't forget that from november 1998 it was start of the 'Carre Magique'-era. Felix Wazekwa was the only solo artist in that time that succeed. Do Akongo who started to have fame when Koffi left him behind for Bercy had a talented band with Eboa Lotin, Nono Fudji, Bidjana, etc. and started tprecord a album, which was one of the most awaited albums in 2000, but was not able to succeed and could also not return in Europe, because they said some bad things to the embassies to kill his career. Bendoson who was seen as a big leader started a band with Ramazani, Pompom Miyake, Christian na Nzenze and Azoze na Mbonda. They were blessed by Emeneya, started to record an album and had concerts with huge crowds, but didn't succeed. And so are many examples (Blaise Bula, Manda Chante, etc.)

Why did he leave zaiko? Also how did he join the group, was koffi angry that he joined?
-
to me, he was just born too soon. he was one of the first of his generation who has distinctive dance moves, charming voice (fally ipupa 0.5, i swear), and the
"pretty boy" status. Fally also told in an itw that willy bula was a mentor/coach for a lot of musician of his generation (fally's, bouro's)
His song in poison & his vocals in poison & 7*7 were great. Its rare that musician from ql leave the groupe & fit in other's but willy deboul & sunda bass did.
-
Did he join Zaiko directly after leaving Quartier Latin (after learning he would not tour) in January 1997 ?
-
i think so, shortly after bourro's & mamale arrival.
