Ya Cetidon

Ya Cetidon (born Cetidon Barry Mikoungui) is a Congolese-Canadian rapper and singer blending Alternative Hip Hop with jazz and funk influences, currently based in Laval, Quebec. Growing up with a gospel singer mother and a military father who doubled as a music producer, he absorbed diverse musical styles from childhood—explaining the genre-fluid approach heard in tracks like *Nouvelle ère* and *Beau Gosse*. His early career included a stint in the hip-hop group F2S (Frères 2 Sang) before launching his solo journey, marked by festival appearances like Francofolies de Montréal and Osheaga. Recent releases like *Day N Night* and *Blessings (Remix)* showcase his knack for introspective lyrics and groove-heavy production, cementing his reputation in Canada’s indie rap scene.

With a decade-long foundation that includes time studying in the U.S., Ya Cetidon’s music often reflects themes of cultural duality and ambition, delivered through a mix of laid-back cadences and punchy hooks. His 2023 album *Nouvelle ère* and collaborations like *Balmain* highlight a artist unafraid to experiment, while tracks like *Princes à New-York* nod to his transnational experiences.
