CHIPPER KONTY, whose real name is AKE KOUADIO HERVE, born April 22, 1978 in Anyama, Côte d'Ivoire, is an Ivorian artist who is part of the KONTY group. Before his integration into the KONTY group, CHIPPER was already doing animations when he was in college with his friends by doing little coupé-décalé freestyles but also and above all, CHIPPER had to his credit several musical compositions never recorded. CHIPPER had also flirted with the theatrical boards where he showed his talents as a comedian. It is rightly that he is recognized as the comedian of the KONTY group. In addition, his exceptional interventions in the two successful titles of the group KONTY (TATOU CHIPEUR (1st album) and TOUCHE MOI LE BB (2nd album)) have brought joy to the hearts of music lovers. CHIPPER KONTY is credited as author, composer and performer for his participation in the two albums of the group KONTY released respectively in 2006 and 2009. Already on these albums, CHIPPER KONTY marked his attachment to tradition through his melodious interventions in local languages ( Attié, Dioula, Bété, etc.). In October 2014, he released his first maxi single entitled "KOI BIN". It is a disc which aims to make it known to the general public. On his disc, we find the title KOI BIN on which intervened featuring ROCKY GOLD, the rising star of NAIJA music. Listening, we feel the maturity of the artist both in terms of voices and melodies. With a warm voice, CHIPPER KONTY sings about everyday life. KOI BIN is resolutely placed from the angle of travel, Ivorian colors and openness to the world. Between cultures and sounds from distant horizons, CHIPPER KONTY's maxi single is the result of musical experiences acquired in the KONTY group. The album was produced in optimal conditions and the reactions of the professionals are already more than encouraging; the opinions are unanimous in qualifying this maxi single as successful and very promising. Everything confirms him in the idea that he has his place in the new landscape of Ivorian music and that he can also continue to explore other musical universes. The evocation of his name is associated with the qualifier of the new ambassador of Ivorian music.
