DJ Kerozen overcame a stutter, poverty and family resistance to follow his musical dreams. He鈥檚 become one of Cote d鈥橧voire鈥檚 major artists in coup茅-d茅cal茅, a heavily percussive, high-energy dance music that blends Ivorian and Congolese rhythms with contemporary sounds.

His unique sound mixes a coup茅-d茅cal茅 beat, gospel lyrics and a zouglou melody. And he鈥檚 collaborated with some of Africa鈥檚 musical legends: Ivorian superstars Magic System and Didi B, and the trailblazing Senegalese rapper Didier Awadi.
