Producer and rapper Young Paris incorporate both traditional rhythms and EDM elements into his sound. Born Milandou Badila in 1988 in Paris, France to Congolese immigrant parents who later moved to New York, he was brought up between the three countries and grew up in an arts-rich environment, his father being the founder of the Congolese National Ballet and his mother a playwright. Inspired as much by the Congo’s thriving fashion scene as by its traditional music, he started out as a model and dancer, launching his own diversity-celebrating lifestyle brand, “Melanin”. Influenced by hip hop and afrobeats, he started his music career in 2015.
