Biography

Zry Jephté is an Ivorian DJ and producer, heir to Wè roots — the people of western Côte d'Ivoire. He is one of the rising voices of Spiritual Afro House, a movement he defines in his own words as “a music of emotion and connection”: organic rhythms, percussion, tribal textures and mystical sounds, carrying messages of peace, love, resilience and open-mindedness.

Before the decks came the piano: as a pianist and keyboardist in numerous bands — reggae, Afro, dancehall, jazz — he forged a unique colour of his own. Cinema also feeds his world, and it can be heard in the depth of his productions.

On stage, the hybrid live set is his signature: keytar, krin, calabash and tama in hand, singing as well, accompanied by a percussionist. Afro house, amapiano and afrobeat meet traditional instruments there — never as a backdrop, always as the heart of the matter. In 2026, he joined the Native Musik label and released “KANOU”, with Mandé Bloffou.
