 | | | Real name / | Raoul Konan | Mr Raoul K hails from Agboville, Ivory Coast, West Africa. In 1992, he left Africa and moved to Hamburg, Northern Germany. While in Hamburg, he got seriously involved with the aesthetic vibe of dance and music. As a result, he started working as a DJ. At the same time, he was getting a professional education as a carpenter. In 1999, he left Hamburg for a smaller city in Northern Germany called Lübeck. While working as a carpenter in Lübeck, he continued to DJ and finally set up a home studio to learn production basics through trial and error.
His first EP "Le Cercle Peul" released on Baobab Music received positive reactions by the likes of Henrik Schwarz, Josh Deep, Jerome Sydenham and Jephté Guillaume.
