Title: Vegedream, a star in the making in the United States
In recent years, the influence of African artists has continued to grow in the United States. Among these burgeoning talents, Vegedream, the Franco-Ivorian artist, was able to conquer the American public during his recent concerts in Washington and New York. Passing through the East Coast, Vegedream shares with us his experience and his feelings about the warm welcome he received.
During its concerts, Vegedream noted a particularly enthusiastic reception from the American public. It highlights a difference compared to Europe: a real quest to discover the artist and his music. Many French and African fans, who rarely have the opportunity to see artists from their countries on stage in the United States, were excited for the opportunity. For Vegedream, this support and love received filled him with happiness and reinforced his pleasure of performing in the United States.
The rise of African music on the American market is undeniable, as Vegedream expresses it. He notes an evolution since his first visit in 2019, with an increase in the exposure of African artists and an increasingly wider audience. Sharing the bill with heavyweights such as Davido has benefited him, but performing as a headliner is a different experience. Vegedream now feels in front of its audience, in a more intense and demanding way. He is aware of the competition and the wide range of music offered in the United States, but considers this experience as a unique chance to develop as an artist.
As a child of the 90s, Vegedream reveals to us the American artists who inspired him. Among them, André 3000 from Outkast occupies a special place with his originality and unique personality. Vegedream felt in tune with him and appreciated his unique music. He also mentions R’n’B icons such as Justin Timberlake and Mary J. Blige, as well as groups such as NWA. These artists have marked his career, allowing him to better identify himself and position his music.
The rise of African music in the United States is also discussed. Artists such as Davido, Burna Boy and Rema manage to break into the American scene and attract attention. Vegedream is delighted with this development and considers that this is the right time for African artists to demonstrate their talent and conquer the American, or even global, market. He is proud of his fellow African artists and remains convinced that the best is yet to come.
In conclusion, Vegedream recalls his recent tour of the United States as an enriching experience. The reception of the American public, the rise of African music and the inspirations drawn from American culture have strengthened his determination to make a place for himself on the international scene.. Vegedream, as a French-speaking artist, is paving the way for a new generation of African artists eager to conquer the world of music.
