After being noticed in various local groups, young Sékou wins Best Guinean Singer Award in 1979 which led to a role in Bembeya Jazz where he was given the nickname Bambino. 1992 confirmed him as a real star with the release of his second solo album le Destin, followed by other successes such as Kassa in 1996.
