Career
Ange Didier started his music career in the early 2000s as a DJ when he was only 14 years old in Yopougon, a night-life district in Abidjan. He left for France to improve his career and even overstayed his visa. In 2005, he spent a month in detention as an undocumented migrant. He was considered one of the most popular African artists in Francophone countries around the world. He became a star of his genre around 2009.
