TRESOR

TRESOR (acronym for "Timeless, Rare, Extraordinary, Songs of Rapture") is a multifaceted musician widely recognized as an award-winning, multi-platinum selling singer-songwriter and record producer originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo, based in South Africa. Born as Mukengerwa Tresor Riziki, his journey is one of resilience and passion, having moved to South Africa to pursue his musical dreams after surviving a harrowing childhood marked by the traumas of war. TRESOR’s sound is a potent blend of African rhythm, infectious pop, and elements of soul, which he calls "African Pop." His voice is distinctive and melodic, often weaving in diverse linguistic textures by singing in English, Swahili, and other African languages.

TRESOR has quickly risen in the global music scene through his unique artistry and collaborations, especially within the flourishing African house music genre. Recent releases like "Last December," "La Vie Est Belle," and "Motion" underscore his ability to create emotive and catchy melodies that resonate with a broad audience. His significant joint project, "RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE," as well as electrifying collaborations like "Makosa” with heavyweight South African producers DJ Maphorisa & Kabza De Small, and “Lighthouse” featuring Da Capo & Sun-El Musician, illustrate his knack for bridging sounds across the continent, creating an infectious mosaic of the new wave of African music. TRESOR's substantial impact on the music industry is not only evidenced by his extensive discography but also by his influence on the growing appreciation of African pop music on the world stage.
