Life

Yusupha's father was Musa Ngum[1] (also often spelled "Moussa Ngom"). Musa Ngum was a griot, and a highly successful singer in Gambia and Senegal.[2] Yusupha followed in the griot tradition of his father.[3]

When he was growing up, Yusupha went to a Franco-Arab school in Senegal.[4]

Career

Yusupha started his music career by co-founding the rap band Galaxy Crew in 1998. With Galaxy Crew, Yusupha released three albums, Bamba (2000), Peace and Blessings (2001) and Toloff-Toloff (2004).[5]

Yusupha started his solo career in 2005, where he shifted to creating mbalax music. As a solo artist, Yusupha released his first album in 2006, titled Ndigal.[5]

In 2007, Yusupha went on a two-month tour of Sweden.[6][7]

In 2009, Yusupha released his second solo album, titled Yaay Borom,[8] which reached no. 3 on the Gambian album charts.[9]

In 2015, Yusupha released his third solo album, Golden Jubilee, to celebrate the 50th year of Gambia's independence.[10]

In 2013, Yusupha along with two partners formed the Australia-based trio Jaaleekaay. In 2016, Jaaleekaay released their self-titled album.[3][11] In its review of the 2016 National Folk Festival, Scenestr described Jaaleekaay as "the band of the festival".[12]

Yusupha is currently based in Melbourne, Australia,[13] and is the lead singer of Yusupha Ngum and the Affia Band[14][15] and was the original lead singer of the band Ausecuma Beats.[16]

In 2018, Yusupha Ngum & the Affia Band recorded a song, "Gainde", to celebrate the Senegal team's qualification in the 2018 FIFA World Cup.[14] The song was widely reported in the Gambian and Senegalese media.[15][17][18][19][20][21][22]

In July 2018, Yusupha appeared as part of an ensemble shot on the cover of Beat Magazine, representing the band Ausecuma Beats.[23]

After a performance at the Healesville Music Festival, the chair of the festival nominated the set by Yusupha Ngum & the Affia Band as one of the "stand out" performances, and named the band as one of three he listed as "among some of the big names that really pulled the crowds".[24]

In 2019, Yusupha Ngum & the Affia Band included jazz fusion music in their repertoire at the Castlemaine Jazz Festival.[25][26][27]

In 2019, Ausecuma Beats released their self-titled EP,[28] and released their self-titled album in 2020,[29] with Yusupha on lead vocals on every track except for one vocal track and one instrumental track. Yusupha Ngum left Ausecuma Beats in 2020.

Accomplishments and awards

In 2009, Yusupha won the award for the "Most Radio Played Artist Male" category at the Gamspirit Music Awards.[30][31]
