Growing up with musics of my brothers and sisters listened to.

I began to be the DJ for their parties, soon, I started to play in clubs, organize parties and make some radio.


Then at 18 years, my family gave me the choice of the army or to get a suitable job...


   
 

By coincidence, at the same time, I met Patrice Keff, chief Engineer of Miraval residential studio, and I move straight to Paris where I start in a small studio doing the cleaning….

This was my actual birth.

So, I was born in a studio, I grew up in a studio, I built several studios and now I have my own personal one.

   
For the last 32 years, my work allowed me to meet many different musicians, singers and groups as an Engineer, mixer and producer.

During the London calling show of 2008 Vincent Bordier, head of believe2UK, gave me the opportunity to open a record label.

Today my time is split between the artists I produce for my label and my work as Engineer Producer.

 
   
Nko-G continues to produce, write and arrange songs.
