Paolo. à la Boule Noire

At just 23 years old, Paolo possesses a wealth of experiences and impressive maturity. Having grown up in West Africa (Mali, Mauritania, Ivory Coast) and lived in more than six countries across the world, he draws his inspiration from this journey. Passionate about music, he wrote his first lyrics at 16 years old and shared his first freestyles on social media during lockdown, with the sole purpose of sharing what he loves to do with his loved ones. Today pursuing a specialized double master's degree in international solidarity and environmental engineering, he navigates between his future as an NGO project manager and a meteoric musical rise. A lyricist artist, he takes inspiration from figures like Ben Mazué, Gaël Faye, and Naâman, blending rap and vocals in a constant quest for emotions, melodies, and meaning.
