Born in 1998 in Saint-Maurice to a Kabyle and Sahrawi family, Danyl (Danyl Boudali) grew up in Créteil surrounded by raï and chaâbi music before training classically in piano at the Paris conservatory. Initially a producer for SDM and Ninho under the name Hashey Sen, he moved to the mic and released his first projects, Appels manqués (7) and Partition, blending rap with classical references. After a break starting in 2020, he returned in 2023 with the EP Khedma, followed by more introspective tracks such as “Les Zhommes” (2024) with Zamdane. His album Zmig explores French-Algerian identity and family heritage.
