Baloji is an artist in motion, a musician, poet, film director, and man of many images and ideas.
His name (Baloji) means man of science in Swahili but shifted during the colonial period to the man of the occult sciences and sorcery.
Also, his musical influences include Outkast, LCD Soundsystem, African rumba king Tabu Ley Rochereau, and salsa music legends Fania Records.
Baloji mixes hip-hop culture with Congolese guitars and a melodic approach with some French chanson structure.
His perpetual motion is showcased in music videos like “Soleil De Volt,” where he fronts a satirical variety show band with flamboyant flair. Also, apparent in his sharp curation of Komono eyewear collections.
