Music like Blick Bassy

Blick Bassy is a Cameroonian singer-songwriter. His song Kiki from the album Ako featured as the theme song for the worldwide launch of the iPhone 6 in 2015.

Bassy was born in Mintaba, Cameroon, one of 21 offspring from his father, a police chief. His mother was the youngest of his father's three wives.

He began singing at the age of three, waking up at 5am everyday to rehearse with the other children of the village.

Bassy's band Macase toured Cameroon for ten years until winning the Prix Elysse Musique du Monde in 2001, which convinced Bassy to immigrate to Paris, France. After performing in small venues, he secured a recording deal for his first two albums. The first, entitled Leman, was released in 2009, and was followed two years later by Hongo Calling.
