About Disiz

Born Serigne M'Baye Gueye to a Senegalese father and Belgian mother in Amiens in 1978, rapper Disiz la Peste was discovered by Suprême NTM's JoeyStarr and first came to attention in 2000 when he scored a Top Five album with his debut, Le Poisson Rouge. Following 2003's Jeu Societe, he recorded 2004's Itinéraire d'un Enfant Bronzé under his own name, formed hip-hop collective Fuck Dat, and appeared as an aspiring MC in Dans Tes Reves before returning to his more familiar moniker for 2006's Les Histoires Extra-Ordinaires d'un Jeune de Banlieue. In between two albums recorded with Grems under the guise of Rouge à Lèvres and Klub Sandwich, he appeared to announce his retirement from the rap game with 2009's Disiz the End. After he adopted the pseudonym of Disiz Peter Punk, his 2010 album Dans le Ventre du Crocodile showcased a new rock direction, but just two years later he staged his hip-hop comeback with the EP Lucide. ~ Jon O'Brien, Rovi
