Born in 1993 in Amiens to a Congolese family, Naza grew up in Creil, where his family ran a Congolese restaurant. Launched in 2015 by childhood friend KeBlack, he developed an afro-trap sound infused with Congolese rumba on his first EP (2016), then his gold-certified album Incroyable (2017). The track “Ptain de mrde,” spotted by footballer Presnel Kimpembe during the 2018 World Cup, brought him mainstream recognition and led to a show at the Olympia. Since then, he has released further albums (C’est la Loi, Bénéf, Nazaland) and collaborated widely, including with Tiakola, Dadju and Aya Nakamura.
