Early Life and Education

Ya Levis, a smooth Congolese-French singer, songwriter, and dancer, came into the world on September 9, 1994, in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo.

He grew up in a music-filled home with his parents, Nico Nemiala, a rumba star who teamed with Papa Wemba, and his mother, Mrs. Nemiala, who sang in a church choir, giving him early beats and harmonies to hold onto.

He has a brother, Olivier Dalwear, who shared early stage time with him.

School details stay under wraps, as music took center hold early on, shaping his path over books.

His roots mix Congolese heritage, and he leans on Christianity from his mum’s side.

Career

Ya Levis stepped into music at 15 in 2009, joining his brother’s dance group Les Étoiles d’Afrique as Ya Levis Dalwear, hitting stages with moves and songs till he broke out solo in 2012.

He dropped early cuts like “Love-Olivia” and “Shabanni,” then caught eyes at a 2013 gig, signing with MCP Group for “Canoë Kayak” and the breakout “Mokolo ya L’amour” in 2015, which blew up across Africa.

By 2017, he hit TV with “On Récolte Ce Que L’on Sème” on Touche Pas à Mon Poste and teamed with Kiff No Beat for “Farotema.”

His 2018 single “Libala” paid tribute to his late parents, while “Katchua” in 2019 snagged big plays and tour spots opening for Flavor.

Albums rolled out strong: El Mayalove in 2018, LCLM: Prélude in 2021 with tracks like “Lokesha” and a Franglish collab, then full L’amour Change le Monde in 2022, led by “Pardonne-moi.”

Mélange des Genres that year mixed styles wider.

Lately, he sold out La Cigale in 2022, hit Raha Festival in Nairobi in 2024, and jumped on Gaz Mawete’s viral “K.O,” keeping his flow between Paris gigs and African roots.
