Born in Douala, Cameroon, Flavien Assongmony Mvele was introduced to music at the age of twelve. As he discovered hip-hop music, his passion for the style and its aesthetics led him to write his first lyrics. At first, he practiced under the pseudonym Bazor, with which he spread his first compositions and familiarized himself with the demands of the music world. After his encounter with the Rastafari religion, his artistic path changed completely: the musician opted for the name Sultan Oshimihn and wanted to spread his messages through reggae music. He embraces its distinctive rhythms and distinguishes himself through his deep, committed songwriting, inspired by the dark days of slavery. He joined the Zomloa Family label, then Red Zone, which released his debut album, The Birth of Fire, in 2006. His songs, which deal with the problems faced by young people and his country, win over listeners with tracks like "Quelle école". Sultan Oshimihn won the 2007 Mboa Hip Hop Awards for Best Reggae Artist and Album and Best Video, and followed this up in 2010 with his second album Black Queen. Here, he imagines the future of Africa, criticizes many social and economic realities, and innovates his musical approach, which oscillates between ragga ("C'est encore moi") and dancehall ("360° de réflexion"). Sultan Oshimihn has become a major figure on the Cameroonian reggae scene, earning the nickname "The King" from his fans. In 2015, he returned to his early rap influences, appearing on the compilation La B.O. de nos life alongside Krotal on the track "Élu du peuple".
