Joel Adama Gueye was born in Italy (Varese) in 1978 from mixed Senegalese & Italian parentage. From the age of 6 to 16 years old he lived in Senegal with his family. During that time, Adama wrote poems and letters which eventually evolved into songs. After living and spending time between Italy, Senegal, France & Los Angeles, he finally settled in London, where he shaped and developed his passion for music with collaborations with international DJs, producers, singers and musicians.
When listening to the songs, you can hear the "Old Skool” influence characterised by heavy pads, acid synth, deep bass & analogic drums.
Adama sings about gradual, spiritual growth and awakening, referred to as “Rebirth”. It is the reflection of a man in connection with the society in which he lives and how the right actions and choices can lead to big changes in your life and can create a brighter future, for everybody.
