Mini bio
How it started.
Born in Kinshasa, Gims arrived in France as a young child and grew up in Paris. He began rapping while still at school, working with 3e Prototype and Sexion d’Assaut through independent releases, freestyles and open stages.
Finding his own voice.
Sexion d’Assaut brought him to a wider audience before his solo debut, Subliminal, arrived in 2013. “J’me tire” and “Bella” became early calling cards. Mon cœur avait raison followed in 2015, and Ceinture noire in 2018 paired him with Vianney on “La même.”
Beyond the microphone.
Drawing was an early ambition. In a 2012 Booska-P interview, he said he had studied graphic communication at Corvisart for two years before music took over. He also described a love of Marvel comics and manga, including One Piece and Death Note.
Where to catch him next.
His official tour calendar reports that the October, November and December 2026 concerts were postponed for medical reasons, with replacement dates in 2027 and January 2028. It lists Marseille on 19 June 2027 and Nice on 3 July 2027 as maintained.
