Multi-talented world music singer, composer and songwriter Moh Dediouf's sound is as vibrant and eclectic as the continent he is from.
He was born in Dakar Senegal in 1974, with a musical gift so profound he now uses it to unite Africa and to make the world change their minds about what is perceived as the ‘Dark Continent.'
He is anchored to Africa, yet draws on his travels and life experiences from Europe and other parts of the world to mould, mix and make music that the whole world can dance to. His mission - to create music that no ear has ever heard.
Be it his humble beginnings, his bold ambition, his warm smile or his musical expertise - Moh Dediouf stands out from the rest. His debut, self-produced album, released in 2007, has already gained recognition.
