I am originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo and grew up surrounded by music, especially funk and soul. I started playing guitar and bass at the age of 8 and wrote my first songs when I was 14. For nearly 30 years, I’ve been making beats, a journey that has taken me from Paris to New York, where I organized events and DJ’d in some of the city’s top clubs. I love good music, no matter where it comes from, and that versatility is reflected in my style. Since 2003, I’ve been producing music—mixing, composing, writing melodies and lyrics. I’m also a dancer, which adds another dimension to how I feel and express music. Having lived in many countries, I speak French, English, and Spanish, and I’m currently learning Portuguese. Today, I live in São João do Estoril, Portugal, where I have my own studio. My preferred DAW is Logic Pro, and right now I’m creating my own unique style of music called SoulfroKongo—a sound that is as original as I am. As both an artist and DJ, I go by the name Jean Claude “The Funkypirate.”…I am originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo and grew up surrounded by music, especially funk and soul.
