Ricky-James is an amazement . A well-rooted, charismatic and twisted man. But he is above all an artist who is concerned and thinks.
His food for thought? An instantaneous African perception of the world, a love without borders for the French language, and the philosophy when it respects the light. All this produces a sound, an identity enriched by the qualities of encounters.
From Afro-Beat sung in Tibetan, by way of a slam on electro-rock music, to a 18 ropes' jazzy reggae, the artist speaks to us under an original angle, of subjects commonly known.

It is stamped by sensitivity and worried about reality that Ricky-James delivers us his latest release, "Que Tout Soit Propeace", which is a wish that "Everything Is Pro-peace", meaning that.everything shoul be achieved with peace as cornerstone of our life" ".
He evokes his "almost obsessional" questioning on African civilization, and the means there to be implemented in order to banish violence as means for conflicts resolution. What would be according to him, the real abolition of slavery ?

A glance at the human, a speech for tomorrow, one universal wish: That Everything Is Pro-peace.
