 The son of a doctor from Congo-Kinshasa, Kamini grew up in the French countryside in the small Picard village of Marly-Gomont, which inspired his hit single of the same name.After having received his Baccalaureat, Kamini left his hometown to settle in Lille, where he worked as a psychiatric nurse.In 2006, working with some friends, he wrote the song "Marly-Gomont", which is a humorous recounting of the daily life in the rural French town and the difficulty of being a member of the only black family in the village.
