Da KJ Boy, a versatile Cameroonian artist, rapper and Agripreneur with a childhood dream and a real story to tell. Born in the metropolitan, ever buzzing city of Douala and raised virtually all over the country, KJ's drive and determination were forged by his rather rough childhood experiences. He describes his talent as a God given ability and strongly believes it is his responsibility to use his gift to help the less opportune community and to tell the stories of the voiceless.
To quote his own words, growing up as an introvert in a buzzing family atmosphere was never easy; rap music and pop culture were my escape. “Thug life” is the culture I emanate from, and the doctrine by which I operate. The 2000’s sparked this [crazy] dream of mine to rock the world and it still excites me whenever I think about it. Like many who came before me in this world of rap and showbiz, I believe I have an important role to play in society using my craft, and I consider that my primary goal. However, I equally aspire towards the notoriety, influence and financial freedom that generally comes with being in the lamplight, and that is definitely a goal for me. For someone who comes from where I come from, it could improve many things and lives around here.
Basing his craft on principles such as the above mentioned, Da KJ BOY brought himself to accept who he is and to determine what direction to take with his music. He pinpoints most of the societal issues affecting the younger generations – the hardships, what it feels like living in Cameroon and being a Cameroonian in this fast-changing world, and striving and hoping for a better life: “I want people, fans and the world to use my music to [turn up], hustle, overcome their pain, addiction, depression, abuse and any forms of pressure from their past, as well as the scary and uncertain nature of the future. I intend to keep spreading love and positive energy with the limited time I have out here on earth. Let’s make it worth it”.
