I was born the 13th April 1987 in Stockholm, Sweden. My Senegambian mum raised me in an environment with pretty much a perfect mix of two worlds. I got to experience the European pop music scene and structured lifestyle but also got a taste of the Senegambian "heat", colorful culture and music. I don't remember the exact age, but I think I was around 4 or 5 years old when I first discovered Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston. Growing up with their musical influences I just knew music had to be part of my destiny and I guess that's how this "Big Dreamer" was born.
Except for achieving my own musical goals, I truly hope that by sharing my story I will inspire other Big Dreamers to do the same.
