Gims and Dadju In the streaming era, where borders no longer define music, two brothers from a Congolese family have conquered the French charts and reached audiences far beyond the Francophone world. Meet Gims and Dadju: two voices, two styles, one shared story of talent, ambition, and cultural pride.

From Kinshasa to Paris Streets

Born to Congolese parents, the Djuna brothers grew up surrounded by rhythm. Their father, Djuna Djanana, was a member of Viva La Musica, the legendary band led by Papa Wemba, one of the most influential figures in African pop. When the family moved to France, the brothers soaked up hip-hop, soul, and R&B, eventually creating a sound that fuses African warmth with French urban edge.

Gims – The Powerhouse Performer

Gims (real name Gandhi Djuna) first broke through with the iconic French rap collective Sexion d’Assaut.
When he went solo, he turned French rap into something epic by blending trap beats, pop hooks, and orchestral grandeur.
With global hits like “Bella”, “Sapés comme jamais”, and “Est-ce que tu m’aimes?”, Gims became one of the most streamed French artists ever. He’s collaborated with international stars like Sting, Maluma, and Lil Wayne, proving that French-language music can fill stadiums from Paris to Kinshasa and even Montreal.

Dadju – The Gentleman of Afro-R&B

Younger brother Dadju (Dadju Djuna Nsungula) took a different path with smoother, more romantic, but just as powerful sounds. His soulful voice and emotional lyrics turned songs like “Reine”, “Jaloux”, and “Bob Marley” into modern love anthems.
Known as “Prince Dadj” to his fans, he bridges R&B, Afropop, and Zouk, creating music that’s warm, melodic, and irresistibly global. Collaborations with Anitta, Tayc, and Fally Ipupa have expanded his reach far beyond France.

Two Styles, One Legacy

When Gims and Dadju share a stage, the chemistry is undeniable. Their collaborations,“Prends ma main” and “Belle”, highlight how perfectly their voices complement each other. Gims brings the fiery power; Dadju brings the tender melodies. Together, they symbolize the Franco-Congolese blend that’s shaping the sound of modern French music. And even if you don’t speak French, you can feel their music. From the rhythmic storytelling of Gims to the gentle tunes of Dadju, their songs speak a universal language, emotion.
