AI is changing how African Artistists create music — here is what that looks like in Cameroon. I hold an AI certification. I use artificial intelligence in my creative process. And I am also a cultural Artist rooted in Pinyin heritage.

Most people treat those two things as contradictions. I treat them as the same thing.

Because the goal of AI, when used correctly, is not to replace human creativity — it is to amplify it. To take the story you are already carrying and help you give it more forms, more reach, more precision.

My grandmother's voice is still the centre of what I create. AI just helps me carry it further.

Finish this sentence: Growing up in Cameroon taught me ___Friday morning. No long speech today.

I just want to hear from you.

The experiences that shaped us rarely come in the form of lessons. They come in the form of moments — a sound, a smell, a correction from an elder, a walk to school in the early morning before anyone else was awake.

I will start: Growing up in Cameroon taught me that community is not optional. It is survival. And it is also joy.

Your turn.

Drop your sentence below. I will read every single one. ❤️🇨🇲

African creativity is not behind the world. The world is still catching up to what Africa has always known.The rhythms that European music spent a century discovering — we were born into them. The storytelling structures that Hollywood calls innovation — our grandmothers used them around fires before there were cameras.

The healing through music that therapy now charges for — it was free in our villages. It was simply called a gathering.

I am not saying this to perform pride. I am saying it because I genuinely believe Cameroonian artists are not trying to catch up to a global standard. We are reminding the world of a standard it already borrowed from us.

African parents never said "I love you." They said "Have you eaten?" and woke up at 4 AM to pay your school fees.They never had the words for it. Or maybe they had too many words and chose the truest one — action.

My parents showed love the way their parents showed love. Through sacrifice so quiet you only understood it years later, when you were old enough to calculate what it cost them.

I think about this when I perform. Every stage I stand on has their fingerprints on it. Not because they pushed me toward music, but because they made sure I survived long enough to find my own path to it.

Drop a ❤️ if your parents showed love this way. Tag someone who raised you with this kind of love. 🙏

The day I stopped trying to sound international and started sounding PINYIN — everything changed.There is a version of me that spent years listening to what was working elsewhere. Trying to shape my sound to fit categories that were not built for what I carry.

The shift happened quietly. Not a decision, exactly. More of a surrender.

I stopped asking what the market wanted and started asking what my people needed. What PINYIN rhythm sounds like when it is not apologising for itself.

The music that came after that was the music that started winning awards.

Do you think modern Cameroonians respect their elders less than past generations did?I am asking this seriously. Not to judge. Because I think about it often.

I grew up in a world where the voice of an elder was the final word — not because they demanded it, but because we understood what their years had cost them. Their knowledge was not on Google. It was carried in their silence.

Something has shifted. I see it even in myself. The speed of today makes patience with age feel like a weakness.

But I also wonder — maybe every generation says this. Maybe every elder has always felt the next generation was losing something.

I genuinely do not know the full answer. I want to hear yours.

The day I almost gave up on music — and what stopped me🤦. I will not pretend this path has been clean😢.

There was a year when I questioned everything. Whether the music was reaching anyone. Whether the sacrifices made sense. Whether staying faithful to a cultural sound in a world chasing trends was wisdom or stubbornness.

I remember sitting with my instrument and feeling nothing. That silence was the hardest sound I have ever experienced.

What stopped me was not a breakthrough. It was a memory. A specific one. My grandmother, humming a song she did not know she was teaching me. And the realisation that she never once asked whether the song was working. She simply sang it 😊.

That is the standard I chose to return to.

Has there been a moment in your life when you almost stopped — and something small brought you back? I want to hear it. ❤️

Cameroon is not just one culture. It is 280 languages, 280 worlds — each one worth protecting.

People from outside Africa often speak about Cameroon as one thing. One country, one culture, one sound.

But those of us who grew up here know the truth. What I know in PINYIN is different from what my brother knows in Bamileke.
Each language is a universe with its own way of understanding time, grief, joy, and belonging.

We are not one thing. We are a continent inside a country.

And that is not a problem to solve. It is a wealth that most of the world has not yet learned to recognise.

What is one thing from your village childhood you will never forget?I will start.

Mine is the sound of rain on a zinc roof at night in Pinyin. There was nothing else. No television. No phone. Just the rhythm of the rain and the feeling that the village was breathing.

That sound is in my music somewhere. I cannot always point to where. But it is there.

Every song I have ever made was begun in a memory like that one — small, specific, and completely mine. That is what makes it reach people who have never been to Cameroon.
