Today we’d like to introduce you to Fructuoso Ndong Maye.
Hi Fructuoso, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Since I was a child, I always liked to dance, around 2008 I went to Spain to study and there I began to have contact with music at the production level. My father had a studio at home and in my spare time, I started making music. Little by little I discovered my artistic side until we created the group where “Place Angels” came from. More than 10 years later I decided to follow the music alone and with a clearer goal. I started my solo career since 2021.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It’s been very difficult for me to be able to transcend from a little country in Africa to the global stage, But I believe that when my music gets out to the masses that really appreciate good music, we will be on our way heading in the right direction.
Thanks – so, what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
My work as an artist is a bit versatile. Apart from being a singer, I am also a sound producer. I can say that my specialty is mixing, it is the part of the production that I like the most and in which I feel most comfortable. Every song I work on is like a baby that I’m watching grow, and it’s a unique feeling. In my environment, what sets me apart is the fact that I am always open to new opportunities that lead me out of my comfort zone.
What do you like best about our city? What do you like least?
I have never been to Miami, but I have been able to watch videos, movies, etc. What strikes me the most, apart from the fact that I like a lot, are the beaches… Like a good aquarium, I always like to be surrounded by water. I also like that it is a multicultural city, especially that you can get there and listen to Spanish on the street, it’s wonderful. On a musical level, I also think it is a place with many opportunities for artists. Hopefully, one day I will arrive, and I can try the gastronomy there and investigate a little more about cultural issues. I think what I like the least is the dark side that they always show us in movies, which has to do with the world of the night, drugs, mafia, etc… That I suppose that such a big and prestigious city will exist of everything.
