Peeda was born and raised in Monrovia, capital of Liberia,
english speaking country. He's from the Grebo ethnic
group. His father's a pastor. In church, he learns how to
translate emotions into notes of music and follows his
father steps, singing out the most vibrating religious
messages, and quickly becomes head of his Choral. His
musical infuences go from Otis Reddings, All Green to
Marvin Gaye... Peeda also sometimes reminds you of
R'Kelly...
Thanks to a powerfull voice and skills as a football
player, Peeda is granted scholarships necessary to a
secondary education in Monrovia. Drafted in Liberia's
football national team, his path crosses the one of a
player known as Georges Weah.
In 1993 : he's drafted to the french football team of
ChΓteauroux and then joins Montluτon. But life has a
different destiny for him...After a severe injury, Peeda
must resign. In 1995, he settles down in
Boulogne-Billancourt. Peeda likes to say : " football is
my passion, but I was chosen by music. "
Next to Paris, he crosses roads with the musical group T.
S. N. : " Tout Simplement Noir (Simply Black)". With
Julien they write the lyrics of a song " Sans Papiers
(Illegal Immigrant)". Peeda starts giving singing
lessons.... He creates a gospel choral of 60 singers and 4
musicians : " God's Army". He composes songs of his own.
The curl is fastened, Peeda gets back to songs of his
childhood....
He then meets with the french rap singer Passi, that
offers him to participate to two tracks of the album " Dis
l'Heure 2 Rimes " to be released in 2002 : They record "
RΘveille-toi " and " Le Jour J " in duet with french
artist Jimmy Sissoko.
But Peeda has so many stories and emotions to share that
he decides to record a full solo album in french and
english : KEEP DREAMIN'. He talks about his childhood in "
I was alone ", the war that tore apart Liberia in " War ",
the difficulties of his incorporation to the French
society in " Sans Papiers ". Peeda never gives up, and
wants to confront his existence by singing his pain and
hope in " Mon Espoir " and " J'attends ". He also shares
his love experience and the happiness of being alive in "
Don't make me cry " and " Life is beautiful ".
