It's crazy to know that he's related to that much of singers, Shimita cited Felix Wazekwa, Kiesse Diambu (who sung in Afrisa and TP OK Jazz) and Seluta (who sung in ISIFI Melodia of Evoloko). It makes sense why Felix Wazekwa often used to cite Shimita among his models.

Here Shimita explained how he started doing music in Matadi, his experiences in Gina Efonge's band Wabanko, Yoka Lokole of Late Mavuela, where he sung alongside Lifelo Moto Moto, the Fataki brothers (Jose Fataki & Fataki Ndoko), etc. Orchestre Veve and later Grand Zaiko Wawa of Pepe Felly Manuaku, where he met Lidjo Kwempa, his cousin Seluta, late Serge Kiambukuta (father of French rapper Ninho), Dodo Munoko and Shekedan. But Shimita not being a member yet, because of Manuaku's brother saying that he had to wait and just to come to their concerts until that the whole singing-section got fired.
