He was a member of the rap group Positive Black Soul (PBS) before embarking on a solo career that propelled him to the stage as a musician, singer, author and composer. Passionate about history and geography Carlou D exports his music with a certain experience and maturity acquired over the time spent in the country, with the ups and downs of showbiz realities. He was definitely marked by his four local albums and a lot of collaborations with some of the country’s artists, followed by two releases of officially international albums in London with world village, the only world distribution label in addition to its many business trips made during the last ten years.
