Early life

Kiflex, born on October 14th, 1990, hails from Bambui-Bamenda, the capital of the Northwest Region of Cameroon. He spent the majority of his childhood and a significant part of his adulthood in Cameroon. Kiflex received his primary education at St. Peters Bambui and went on to attend high school at CCAST Bambili. During his time in high school and later at the national Polytechnic university, Kiflex showcased his exceptional talent in basketball by playing at a high level for his school teams.[citation needed]

In 2014, Kiflex's deep-rooted love for medicine led him to embark on a career path in the medical field. Simultaneously, he wholeheartedly pursued his music career, pouring all of his energy and creativity into it. This dual pursuit reflects Kiflex's nature and ability to excel in different domains.

Career

Kiflex embarked on his music career in 2014, initially as a drummer. In 2015, he joined a band called the Island Sensation based in Detroit, Michigan. The band had the opportunity to perform alongside popular African artists who visited the city during that time. However, despite their early success, the group eventually dissolved.

Following the dissolution of the band, Kiflex began to develop a keen interest in writing and producing his own music. In January 2016, he took a significant step forward by releasing his debut single titled "Baddest Queen." This marked the beginning of his solo career as an artist.

Building on the positive reception of his first single, Kiflex went on to release his debut album, also titled Baddest Queen," later that same year. The album showcased his versatility as an artist and further solidified his presence in the music industry.
