Biography

I was born in Abidjan, Ivory Coast on the 27th of May 1973. I have been writing as a lyricist since 1990 when I was 17 years old. I write lyrics that can be used for Gospel, Country, Rythym & Blues, Pop, Hip - Hop music etc. In 2000 and 2001, I received Certificates of Achievement for my lyrics "Shadow" and "Gone" respectively when I entered my lyrics for the UNISONG International Song Contest. I have a demo for my song "Inside The Vineyard" which was co-written with Sir Brian Hall. Paramount Group Inc. has recently made some demos for my songs. They are: "Oh God Help Me", "Dirty Liar", "Dying For You" and "Shadow". I am currently looking for publishers for the songs. I am also constantly looking to collaborate with other songwriters / composers to put music to my lyrics in order to have complete songs to give to the international music industry. I strongly believe that my membership of the Academy will create the enabling environment and the necessary network for me to contribute my quota to the growth and development of not only the Academy, but also the international music industry as a whole.
