Paolo.

At just 23, Paolo has a wealth of experience and an impressive maturity. Having grown up in West Africa (Mali, Mauritania, Côte d'Ivoire) and lived in more than six countries around the world, he draws his inspiration from this journey.

Passionate about music, he wrote his first lyrics at 16 and shared his first freestyles on social media during lockdown, with the sole aim of sharing what he loves doing with those close to him.

Today, he holds a double master's degree specialising in international solidarity and environmental engineering, and he is moving between a future as a project manager at an NGO and a meteoric rise in music.

A lyricist at heart, he takes inspiration from figures such as Ben Mazué, Gaël Faye and Naâman, blending rap and singing in a constant quest for emotion, melody and meaning.
