Kush busted out on the music scene in Ivory Coast in 1995 as lead vocal for Afrobeat and jazz fusion group Farafinh. After winning the West African music contest Rockin' 95, they went on recording the album Doney Doney that received critical acclaim but mild chart success in the region. After opening the Tafari recording Studios and producing international African artists like Negromuffin, Kajeem, Tangara and many more, Kush released his solo album "Les Miserables" in June of 1998. The video and song "Les Temps Changent" shot to the top of the charts with the video leading all other music videos on Ivory Coast TV for 3 months and winning an award. To this day, Les Temps Changent remains the song by which most people in West Africa identify Kush.
