About

Tresor Riziki is arguably the biggest pop star in South Africa at the moment, having worked tirelessly on building his musical career from the moment he arrived in Durban from Goma in the DRC.    Renowned for his distinct sound, his songs reflect a peregrine of life shared by so many who live in Africa, but few are able to express their experiences in a way that he does – capturing an ear so universally and directly.   From being warmly welcomed by Durban's music scene when he arrived in SA, to striking lifelong creative partnerships and friendships with rapper AKA and singer-songwriter Matthew Field (Beatenberg), to penning historic deals with Universal Media Publishing, Tresor's transition from pop star to global entrepreneur is truly inspirational.   Outro Song: "Thrill"  Apple Music and Spotify    Featured tracks:   04:08 : Al Caiola - Mazurka Medley Youtube 06:41 : Moonchild Sanelly - F-BOYZ Apple Music  Youtube  06:52 : Holly Rey - Wanna Be Apple Music  Youtube 17:38 : DJ Clock & Beatenberg - Pluto Apple Music  Youtube 18:18 : Tresor - Mount Everest Apple Music  Youtube 21:50 : Tresor - Electric Night Apple Music  Youtube 29:35 : ESPN - It's Epic  34:45 : Hugh Masekela - Grazing in the Grass Apple Music  Youtube 43:48 : Disney - It's a small world Apple Music  Youtube     Extra reading:   Tresor's Incredible story circa 2014 - Therese Owen for IOL Tresor's first band- Maisha "Live at Celebrate Durban" circa 2008 Jacquel Music Group Universal Music Group South Africa Splashy Fen Music Festival White Mountain Music Festival   Keep up the hustle with Tresor at: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or his Website   His latest single: "THRILL"   None of this would have been possible without our partners STFD Studios and Mixroom Studios.
