DFresh Banger is a gold- and platinum-certified Canadian-Cameroonian producer, DJ and songwriter. He is known for his innovative fusion of AI technology and music. Since 2020, he has been using artificial intelligence for sampling, production and dynamic DJ sets, marrying futuristic techniques with his signature sound inspired by Afro rhythms.

Born Daniel Sandé in Cameroon and raised in North America, DFresh Banger has been rocked by rap, R&B and reggae, as well as the driving rhythms of ndombolo and makossa. His career took off under the guidance of multi-platinum producer Koudjo (Booba, Jul, Soprano, Naza), and he enjoyed early success with the Parisian group 1995, achieving gold certification for their album Paris Sud Minute.

Today, DFresh Banger makes its international debut with the Afro-pop single Far Away, in collaboration with Nigerian revelation Singah (known for the hits Teyamo and Mon Amour, accumulating over 35 million listens). This sunny, hybrid track highlights his talent for fusing AI-enhanced productions with sounds from the four corners of the globe.

Passionate about music and technology, Youri Dominique has been evolving at the intersection of these two worlds for over two decades. First recognized as a member of the Rainmen duo, who left their mark on the Quebec hip-hop scene with the 1998 album Armageddon, he then turned his career towards change management and artificial intelligence.

His expertise has led him to support organizations in a variety of sectors -culture, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, utilities, agrifood, transportation, retail- in helping them integrate AI into their processes. He has also carried out AI strategic intelligence mandates for key players in the music industry, such as ADISQ and AMUQ.

In 2020, he founded HITstory, a platform dedicated to connecting and discovering artists. Today, with his partner GeniusXR, he is working on DJ Pool.club and the integration of HITstory into UVRSE, an app that will use AI to optimize music matching and recommendations. This project aims to open up new opportunities for creators and promote fairer access to music.

Committed to innovation, Youri's main aim is to build concrete solutions to support artists and professionals in an ever-changing landscape.
