Paolo. à la Boule Noire

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