This experience bears fruit, when he has the opportunity to participate in the album “Khalanam” of the singer Daby in 2000.

During the same year, he met Ass Malick and Seydiman with whom he formed the group “SKA BLUE”. They compose together a song produced by the agency for the cleanliness of Dakar which will know a real success with the Senegalese public.
