Jr la Melo

Singer, rapper and composer Bamba Lanciné Hassan Philo Junior, known by his stage name JR La Melo, was born on December 15, 2005 in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. Still a student, he successfully launched his musical career in 2021, creating his own musical genre called maimouna (children's movement). He made a name for himself with the single "Parce qu'on a envie" (2021) in collaboration with JD. He quickly made his mark in the Ivorian rap scene, supported by his fathers, notably Didi B., with whom he released the video "En Haut " (2022), which racked up 23 million views. In 2022, his first EP, Mélodie, featuring "Bobi", was released, taking him to fourth place in the Ivorian artist chart on Spotify and second place on Apple Music. He signed a distribution deal with Sony Music Afrique at the end of 2022 to give his career a more international twist, and made his mark with the single "Ketebo" (2023).
