Bio

Deplaizir aka The King Of Pleasure is a Singer songwriter,dancer, Performer and Producer of Congolese Rumba music commonly known as Sebene, Makossa, Soukouss or Ndombolo . Born in Kinshasa, The Democratic Republic of Congo formerly known as Zaire, Deplaizir grew up inspired by the music of Papa Wemba, Koffi Olomide, The Wenge Musica band, Kanda Bongo Man, Awilo Longomba and other renowned musicians in Africa.

The Beginning

Deplaizir's musical adventure began at the age of 10 with his school dance group where he learned the art of dance. He further developed his musical talent in gatherings of young people on the streets of Kinshasa, cooking up energetic interpretations of popular songs by Congolese super stars. 

At the age of 12, He joined Traction Dallas a local band only for his parents to stop him. In 1998, Deplaizir moved to the UK and soon after decided to pursue his musical dreams the primary goal of which was to share his Congolese culture with the people of his adoptive country through music, dance, DJ'ing at African parties and organising African music events in the Northwest and Yorkshire.

Britannia Rumba

In 2002, Deplaizir formed Britannia Rumba, his Live band with other Congolese and African musicians to carry on promoting African music in the UK. The band has 10 members made of musicians and Afro Queens dancers and can perform as a 6 piece set or a full 10 piece band with dancers. Deplaizir is the driving force behind the band which entertains and inspires audiences at venues all round UK – G Mex, University of Manchester, Contact Theatre, Bolton Octagon Theatre, Manchester Academy, Platfield Park, The Telfords Warehouse, Exodus Festival, Kendal International Festival, The Brewery Arts Centre, The green room, Band on the wall, Troxy, and many more venues across the country. As a band, Britannia Rumba has built a strong reputation as one of the most exciting live music and dance groups in the North West. Firm festival favourites, they electrify the crowd with their infectious soukouss rythm and dance wherever they appear. Britannia Rumba is an innovative blend of rumba, Manchester’s music energy and modern music technology and opens up a new world of sound and rhythm to the live music going public. Apart from live concerts, Deplaizir and Britannia Rumba lead workshops on Congolese music and dance in Schools, Colleges and Universities around Great Britain

In July 2007, Deplaizir released Plaisir Ya Trop, meaning Pure pleasure, his first solo album the album received good press review across the world and gave him the opportunity for tours in Benin, Togo, Nigeria, Burkinafasso and Ghana, West Africa for 6 weeks between October and November 2007. As his popularity increased in African music circle, In April August 2008, he was invited by clouds FM in Tanzania for a series of promotional shows in Dar es salaam and took the opportunity to start recording his second album with some of the finest east African artists such as Lady Jaydee, Banana Zorro and Keisha. Deplaizir has since returned to Tanzania 3 times for works on his album and promotions. He has built a strong link with Tanzanian artists and his fan base is increasing on a daily basis in east Africa.

Currently, he is putting final touches to his forth coming album to be released soon. Its important to emphasise that most of the songs are recorded in Tanzania and the videos are produced in Tanzania by some of the best video directors in Tanzania such as Gallage, Nicky Dizo and Vision Lab.
