Born in Masina, Kinshasa, [11] [12] Mawete first gained public attention in 2011 as a contestant on Vodacom Congo's Super Hook-Up TV, where his talent was discovered. [13] [14] After a series of early singles, he rose to prominence in Kinshasa through the critically and commercially successful singles "Etali Nga Te" (2015) and "Mukolo Ya Zoba" (2016), [15] which were later featured on his seven-track EP Bombanda, released on 27 July 2017, and supported by the singles "Pika", "Lisolo", "Na Belaka", "Toko Tik'o Te", and "Bombanda". [16] [17] In November 2017, he won the Vodacom Best of the Best All Star contest with his standout performance of "Pika", leading to a contract with the French-Congolese label Bomayé Musik. [18] [19] [20] On 22 December 2017, he released the ndombolo-infused single "Paulina", which received him a nomination for Best Male Artist in Central Africa at the All Africa Music Awards. [21] [22] [23] [24] His breakthrough came with the 2018 Congolese rumba hit "Olingi Nini", which amassed over a million YouTube views within two months. [25] [26] [27]

On 13 December 2019, Mawete released his six-track EP Tsunga Avant L'Album, which was supported by "Game Over", as well as "Zuwa", "Je suis choqué", "Milinga Likolo", "Nako", and "Kibokolo". [28] [29] [30] On 21 February 2020, Mawete premiered "C'est Raté", featuring Fally Ipupa, which won Video of the Year at the African Muzik Magazine Awards. [31] [32] [33] That year, he also secured nominations for Best African Act at the MTV Europe Music Awards and Best Francophone Act at the MTV Africa Music Awards. [34] [35] [36] [37] In 2022, Mawete released his debut studio album, Puzzle, [38] [39] [40] which yielded his highest commercial success with its breakout single, "500", featuring Chily, topping Boomplay's annual Top Male Songs chart in the DRC. [41] After his contract with Bomayé Musik expired that same year, he established BNB Records and released his second album, Gaz Mawete, on 23 August 2024. [42] [43]

Early life and career

1991–2018: Childhood, Bombanda, Vodacom Best of the Best All Star, and "Paulina"

Gael Kapia Mawete was born on 30 September 1991, in Masina, Kinshasa, formerly part of Zaire, now known as the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Raised in a household of seven children—two sisters and five brothers—he is the youngest among them. [44] [45] In an interview with the digital cultural platform Talent2Kin, Mawete disclosed that his musical upbringing was heavily influenced by a variety of Congolese artists, with Werrason being his most significant inspiration. [46]

In 2011, Mawete gained his first exposure by participating in Vodacom Congo's Super Hook-Up TV Season 2. [47] [48] He then made his official debut in 2013 with the single "Tupendana", followed by "Chérie à Dit" and "Lisolo" in 2014. [44] [47] [49] Despite their lukewarm commercial reception, [44] [47] [49] Mawete gained considerable traction with "Etali Nga Te" in 2015 and "Mukolo Ya Zoba" in 2016, tracks that propelled him to prominence in Kinshasa’s music scene. [47] In 2016, he auditioned for the Voice Afrique Francophone , though he was eliminated after the blind auditions. [50] [47] [49]

On 27 July 2017, Mawete released his seven-track Extended Play (EP) titled Bombanda, which included his previously released singles "Lisolo", "Etali Nga Te", and "Mukolo Ya Zoba". [51] [52] The EP was supported by the hit single "Pika". Produced by AJOCS PRO, it featured guest appearances from Mbidika, Bill Clinton Kalonji, and DJ Samarinho. [53] [51] In September 2017, Mawete joined the Vodacom Best of the Best All Star contest, co-hosted by Vodacom and Pygma, offering a $75,000 prize, which included $20,000 in cash, $55,000 allocated for album production, and a deal with Bomayé Musik, co-founded by Général Philo and Youssoupha. [54] [55] [56] He took first place in November 2017 with his standout performance of "Pika", surpassing twelve other finalists, including Voldie Mapenzi, Lionel Ekongo, Jamaica, Christian Muyoli and T2B. [57] [55] [54]

On 22 December 2017, he released the ndombolo-infused single "Paulina", written by Bionic "Docta Bio" Diwabanza. [58] Accompanied by a self-directed music video released in February 2018 under Bomayé Musik by Mukongo Business, the song narrates the story of a boy enamored with his partner, who splurges excessively on her, only to feel betrayed after seeing her with another man, ultimately deciding to overcome the heartbreak and move forward. [58] [59] [60] [61] The song reached number six on Music in Africa's annual "Top 10 hits that got people dancing" and earned Mawete a nomination for Best Male Artist in Central Africa at the All Africa Music Awards. [62] [63] [64] However, on 11 May 2018, the Ministry of Justice, through the National Commission for Censorship of Songs and Shows (Commission Nationale de Censure des Chansons et des Spectacles, CNCCS), imposed a nationwide ban on "Paulina", citing the absence of requisite prior authorization. [65] The edict prohibited its broadcast across all media platforms, including television, radio, and nightclubs, while imposing punitive fines ranging from CDF 50,000 to CDF 5,000,000 under a 1996 statute aimed at curbing "racial or tribal hatred" and maintain public order. [65]

2018–2021: Standalone releases, Tsunga Avant L'Album, collaborations

Mawete released the Congolese rumba-inspired single "Olingi Nini" on 10 August, which became a major hit, amassing over one million YouTube views within two months. [66] [64] [67] The accompanying music video was directed by Meddy Saleh for Press It Films. "Olingi Nini" gained widespread acclaim across the nation and garnered moderate popularity in other African countries, receiving recognition from fellow Congolese musicians such as Koffi Olomide, Fally Ipupa, Fabregas Le Métis Noir, Celéo Scram, and Héritier Watanabe, as well as from France-based diaspora artists like Youssoupha, Dadju, and Fababy. [68] [69] [70] Mawete support "Olingi Nini" at the Bomayé Musik concert held on 26 August at the Athénée de la Gombe in Kinshasa, where he performed alongside fellow labelmates Keblack, Naza, Jaymax, Hiro, Youssoupha, and DJ Mist. [71]

Mawete dropped the single "Antidote (Ko Boya Nga Te)" on 8 March 2019, composed by Shedy Beat, with the music video directed by Meddy Saleh and produced under Bomayé Musik by Mukongo Business. [72] [73] The song tells the story of a reformed philanderer who reforms his behavior after meeting a woman, only to be wrongfully dumped by her for a misdeed he didn't commit but was assumed to have intended. [73] He then performed at the Neema Festival, held on 17 May at Spazio Novecento in Rome and 18 May at Magazzini Generali in Milan. [74] [75] [76] The next day, he performed at the Congo Na Paris festival, celebrating the Congolese diaspora. [77] While in France, Mawete collaborated with KeBlack and Naza on a new track and made media appearances to promote "Antidote (Ko Boya Nga Te)". [77] On 1 July, he released the single "La Loi du Talion" [78] [79] and later performed in Brussels, Cologne, and Paris, where Naza invited him to open for his concert at the Zénith de Paris on 30 October. [80] [81] In September, Mawete also participated in the African Music Forum, performing alongside Youssoupha, the headline act for the annual event that brings together artists and music professionals in Kinshasa. [81]

Mawete commenced work on his EP Tsunga Avant L'Album in November 2019 and introduced its lead Congolese rumba-inspired single, "Game Over", that same month through his Instagram page, with the release scheduled for 2 December. [82] [83] [81] Tsunga Avant L'Album was officially published by Général Philo under Bomayé Musik on 13 December and included six tracks, including "Game Over", as well as "Zuwa", "Je suis choqué", "Milinga Likolo", "Nako", and "Kibokolo". [84] [85] [86] Within three days of its debut, the EP entered Deezer's top 300 charts on all genres, peaking at 23rd in Russia, 25th in Norway, 32nd in Canada, among other countries, [87] while surpassing one million streams on digital music platforms within a month. [88]

On 19 December, Mawete guest-featured on Dadju's song "Mwasi ya Congo", a tribute to Congolese women affected by sexual violence, with all proceeds allocated to the GiveBackCharity initiative. [89] [90] [91] [92] He was featured in Djany's song "Bima" on 24 January 2020 and Jojo Le Barbu's "Tous ça c'est Dieu" on 3 February. [93] [94] On 21 February 2020, Mawete unveiled "C'est Raté", featuring Fally Ipupa, and joined Fally's performance at the Accor Arena on 28 February. [95] [96] "C'est Raté" received widespread recognition, garnered over two million views on YouTube within four months, [97]  and clinched Video of the Year at the African Muzik Magazine Awards. [98] [99] That same year, Mawete earned nominations for Best African Act at the MTV Europe Music Awards [100] [101] [102] and Best Francophone Act at the MTV Africa Music Awards. [103] On 29 January 2021, Mawete released "Bonioma", composed by Shedy Beat, with an accompanying music video directed by Homa Homa. [104] [105] He followed up with "Maitresse" on 7 May, another Shedy Beat-composed single, accompanied by a self-directed music video. [106]

In early 2021, Mawete began working on his debut studio album, Puzzle, and in April announced a collaboration with Ivorian rapper Suspect 95 for the project. [107] While recording the album, he guest-performed on Isis Kingue's single "Ndolo" on 18 June and later collaborated with French rapper Vegedream on "Tika", which was released on 22 October.

[112] [113] In November 2021, Mawete confirmed that Puzzle would premiere in January 2022, [114] releasing its single "Nani" on 21 January. [115] The song amassed over one million views on YouTube within two weeks. [116] The album's official release was later deferred to 4 March 2022.

[122] Within five months, Puzzle amassed over 10 million streams across digital platforms, [123] peaked atop Boomplay's annual Top Male Songs chart in the DRC, and gained significant traction on TikTok. [124] [125] To promote Puzzle, Mawete performed at Kin Plaza Arjaan by Rotana Hotels in Gombe, Kinshasa, on 8 March. [126] He then participated in the Lukin Connexion Lubumbashi-Kinshasa concert on 9 April at the Prestige Lounge Bar in Lubumbashi, [127] followed by a performance at La Maroquinerie in Paris on 5 June as part of Puzzle Tour 1. [119] [128] The tour included stops in France, Belgium, Germany, Norway, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Northern Cyprus, Ireland, Turkey, the Republic of the Congo, and England. [129]

On 17 November, Mawete announced via Twitter that he would no longer be working with Bomayé Musik. [130] [131] He then established his backing band BNB, which doubled as his independent record label, also named BNB Records. [1] [132] Shortly thereafter, he appeared as a guest artist on "Eloko", a collaboration with Robinio Mundibu on an amapiano and ndombolo-inspired track released on 5 May 2023. [133] Two weeks later, on 19 May, he dropped "Dendisa" featuring French rapper Niska under BNB Records. [134] Within two weeks, the track amassed one million YouTube views and 429,749 Spotify streams. [135] On 12 July, he received a nomination for Best Central African Artist of the Year at the Headies. [136] Two days later, on 14 July, he joined fellow Congolese singer Singuila on the track "Linga Nga", [137] [138] whose video surpassed one million views on YouTube within two weeks and earned over 119K streams on Spotify.
