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.

With a track record of success and a vision firmly focused on the future of music technology, DFresh Banger redefines modern production-one beat at a time.
