Musical career
[edit]At age 10, Mbiye joined a singing group called "Groupe d’adoration Junior".[1] Throughout early adolescence, he continued exploring music, eventually learning piano and guitar at 13.[2]
At age 17, Mbiye joined the group Les Étoiles de Louange (French: The Stars of Praise) as a singer and keyboardist. He participated in the recording of the group's first album titled Litatoli directed by Charles Mombaya. After the success of the group's first album, Mbiye became band leader. In the second album titled "Nzambe na ngai (Lingala: My God), he made his first appearance in the song Alléluia , composed by his father, Emmanuel Mbiye.
Mbiye released his first solo single, "Chantant Alleluia" included in the album. It was composed by his father and featured his sister Lydie Mbiye and Mike Kalambay. Mbiye later rejuvenated Les Étoiles de Louange. which recorded the album Plus que cristal.

Pastor

Mbiye started attending a school of theology and became a preacher at Bethel congregation Bethel meeting at Pastor Ignas Ndumbi. Eventually, Mbiye became the youth coordinator (president) of the Bethel JMC missionary youth for Christ.
