Immersed in Congolese drumming since age six within his father's Fua Dia Congo Performing Arts Company, Kiazi's journey encompasses learning, performing, and teaching. At the heart of his musical prowess is the Congolese Ngoma, symbolizing more than just drums—but healing and community among Bantu populations.
