His career truly began in October 2017 when he decided to fully dedicate himself to religion. Since then, K.S Bloom has been fusing rap and coupé-décalé, French and Nouchi (Ivorian slang), religious fervor and humor to engage and evangelize his audience.

A Spectacular Rise

In his first album released in 2021, titled Allumez la lumière, he reminds listeners that heaven is preferable to hell. His success is attributed to divine blessing, according to his manager Rodrigue Liabi, but also to his gift for creating catchy rhythms and melodies, as well as meticulous work on the post-production of his tracks.

Ivory Coast and France are the countries where he has the largest number of admirers, but his music also appeals to predominantly Christian nations, such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon, and Cameroon.

Well-Managed Fame

K.S Bloom embraces his celebrity with serenity, prioritizing his current spiritual life. He gently mocks the rigidity of some believers and believes that his dreadlocks and tattoos are not incompatible with his faith. This tolerance resonates with his audience.

Surrounded by a dedicated team, K.S Bloom follows the guidance of a spiritual advisor who also organizes prayer times. K.S Bloom’s future may lie in pastoral work, but for now, he focuses on charitable actions, the release of his second album in June, Disciple dans la ville, and an international tour.
