DJ and producer, Mendi is part of a generation of artists with a wide range of influences, inspired by new club sounds such as amapiano, gqom, kuduro, afro-beat and miami bass.
kuduro, afro-beat and miami bass, while bridging the gap between hip-hop and electronic music.

Of Senegalese and Guinean origin – from which he draws his inspiration – Mendi grew up surrounded by music and quickly developed a keen ear for it. He set out to share and promote the music he loved, initially through playlists and compilations before setting up his own DJ project. He found his way into some of the most prestigious clubs and festivals, including Le Sucre in Lyon, Les Nuits Sonores and the Dengo Club in Lisbon.

When he moved to Montpellier in 2021, he joined the webradio Piñata and immediately released ‘Atabacada’, his first track on their Plaisance Records label.

In May 2023, he was invited to perform at a Boiler Room party in Marseille alongside Maraboutage, Charisse C, Blackboy DMD, Anaïs B and, of course, 1heure42, with whom he set up his own brand of party, CHÔ!
