French R&B and Rap singer Tibo Kiss, born Thibaud Okissi, is making waves with the release of his new Afrobeats-inspired single, “Power Kouple.” The track marks an exciting evolution for Tibo Kiss as he seamlessly blends his R&B roots with the vibrant rhythms of Afrobeats, creating an infectious and compelling sound that captures the highs of modern romance.

Born on July 6thInternational Kissing Day—Tibo Kiss has always been drawn to the power of words and rhythm. At just eight, he penned his first poem, and by high school, he was introduced to rap through his best friend, eventually forming the duo “Haut les Mic’s.” Tibo’s passion for the craft led him to the vibrant open stages of Lyon, where he developed his signature style, combining slam, freestyle, and acapella rap. His dedication to his craft earned him a spot with the collective Les As Soc’s in 2012, where he recorded his first tracks and deepened his exploration of music and performance.

Driven by a love for the rich sounds of Gospel and influenced by early 2000s R&B icons like Usher, Ne-Yo, and Mario, Tibo has honed his vocal skills to deliver a unique, soulful sound. In 2017, he took his commitment to the next level by founding MusiQualité Studio, where he collaborated with artists across Lyon and Paris, lending his smooth vocals to tracks by Kevson, Framboaz, and Doc Sinay.

With “Power Kouple,” Tibo Kiss brings his rich background and genre-spanning influences into a single that celebrates love with energy and authenticity. His blend of Afrobeats, French R&B, and his Gabonese heritage creates a sound that is distinctly his own, setting the stage for more dynamic releases to come.
