My journey from Congo to Belgium to America, in music | Big Samir & DJ Xoomie | TEDxMileHigh

In two enlivening songs, "Dreams Come True" and "Home Again," Big Samir & DJ Xoomie (accompanied by Aja Black), remind us that you can achieve great things regardless of where you come from. Antoine "Big Samir" Zamundu is a bilingual artist who brings together hip hop, soul, reggae, and African rhythms. With his eclectic style & his smooth flow (seamlessly transitioning from English to French), and his inspirational, socially conscious music, the Congolese lyricist bridges cultural gaps and sends a positive message. He was born in Brussels, Belgium, but spent most of his childhood in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Much of his music is inspired by memories of his African upbringing. “Big Samir” also performs with his wife, Aja Black, as The Reminders.

After getting her certification from Denver DJ School, DJ Xoomie started Live-streaming every Sunday, calling the event ‘Beauty And The Beats’ to highlight two things she's passionate about: music & fashion. She acquired a following, who enjoy her song selections and mixing abilities. She also plays with The Reminders from time to time. Her future, like her energy, is bright. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
