ABOUT
Born in the capital of the DR of Congo (Kinshasa), Nkossi is a heavily engaged Goodwill Ambassador for the Munich-based WATER Foundation (www.wasserstiftung.de) and UNICEF. He grew up in NYC for 29 years and presently resides in the beautiful region of Bavaria (Southern Germany).
He has won multiple international songwriting awards, including most recently a Silver medal from the Academic Society of Arts, Sciences & Letters in Paris, France, for his commitment to the promotion of African Arts & Culture.
Nkossi, who was the first artist signed by Harry Belafonte for his label NIGER Records, is sponsored worldwide by Beyerdynamic, Yamaha, Magix, Behringer... He is well aware of the power of music, and his desire to communicate through it transcends borders. He belongs to this group of artists who understood that music is the most wonderful way to convey ideas, feelings, and passions. Music overwhelms him, devours him to the point where he manages to dominate it, shape it, and extrapolate it in such a way that we can perceive it as a universal language.
This is a language that he likes to share and which he transcends during his live performances. He is one of these artists we call an "amazing performer." During his stage acts, we immerse ourselves in his musical world and can't help but let ourselves be carried away by the crazy swirl of his innovative style. The least that can be said is it lifts and stirs you up while keeping a great musical quality throughout the whole experience.
Artist, Producer, Performer & Social Activist Alain Nkossi Konda is the CEO/Founder of D4W Enterprises, LLC. He works as a Consultant for Africa for such partners as MAKIBER-DRAGADOS, EVAGOR GmbH, DIDIDOM LTD, and many more. 2019 will mark the launch of his pet project "I AM SOMEBODY" International Concert Series, which will be based in the legendary French city of Cannes in association with NORD-SUD Development (Founders/owners of the FESTIVAL INTERNATIONAL DU FILM PAN AFRICAIN http://fifp.fr/) for the next 5 years, with other events to be held in the cities of Munich/Kempten/Immenstadt/GERMANY; Lisbon/PORTUGAL; Paris/FRANCE & New York/USA. This pet project will serve as a platform to showcase unique original music from what the African Diaspora has to offer, all the while helping to independently raise awareness about infant mortality in support of UNICEF's A PROMISE RENEWED campaign http://apromiserenewed.org
