Biography
Born in 1974 in Cameroon, singer and songwriter Blick Bassy started singing at a very young age, and first gained seasoning as a performer as part of the band Macase. He relocated to France in the first decade of the 21st century, made the first steps toward a solo career, and released his solo debut, Léman, in 2009. Hongo Calling appeared two years later. Both of them captured his unique mix of jazz, blues, and traditional African music giving a musical bed to lyrics written and sung in the language Bassa. He scored an international breakthrough when a snippet from the song âKikiâ, which appeared on his 2015 album Akö, was used in a television advertising campaign for the iPhone 6. In 2020 he released the album 1958, a politically pointed work dedicated to Ruben Um Nyobé, a politician who fought for Cameroonâs independence before being killed in the year that gave the album its title.
