Great Coupé Décalé sensation, Tiesco the Sultan stands out on the stage as an artist with an unparalleled musicality. Alternating the festive and cheerful titles, he remains a committed author always having a message to transmit. Born into an Ivorian family, born in Abidjan on December 12, Thierry arrived in France around the age of six. Good student, he won a tray accounting.
But the call of the music is felt. In 2004, he animates the biggest Afro show in Marseille, after this period of success Thierry decides to become “Tiesco the Sultan”.
In 2005, he will know his first consecration by the public thanks to the title “Vatou-Vatou”.
The “Vatou-Vatou” which can be translated by the expression “Who does not try anything has nothing”.
This unanimous success pushed the singer to settle in the capital for the development and promotion of an album. New titles such as “Soukaly Danse” or “Sans Guebe” or “Marche en Avant” weave contacts and Tiesco the Sultan will spend two years between Côte d’Ivoire and Paris. Currently in Lyon, Tiesco the Sultan is promoting the title “Sima Ekoly”, his new single. Always invested and passionate, his shows and animation create a festive atmosphere which earned him to work in the most exclusive Afro nightclubs in Lyon.
Tiesco the Sultan has always wanted to emphasize the importance of the values brought by his family, by his friends and by God.
Concept of “Vatou”
The Vatou means everything for the whole, the one who plays his vatou. It’s because he has nothing left to lose. He tries everything to reach a goal that is not won in advance; he who never drops his arms in front of an obstacle. Or, the one who always looks up after a defeat. This is the Vatou, a Vatou must always have confidence in himself in the dark days because after the night the day will come … But we must be patient that’s the Vatou.
This concept is a little closer to his tube after “March Forward” which both have been a real success in Africa and the French Afro. The titles of Tiesco are always accompanied by a strong message mixing the artistic with the claims.
