Music career

2C's interest in music and performing began at an early age. He won several dance competitions while residing in Ivory Coast, and also performed at various music showcases while living in Atlanta. In 2007, 2C teamed up with music producer Jason "Pit" Pittman to record his debut single "Liberia Girl". In 2009, he travelled to Ohio to perform in a showcase that had BET executive Pat Charles in attendance. 2C won the showcase and participated in BET's Wild Out Wednesday competition. Although he did not win the competition, his performance on stage gave him exposure and allowed him to perform throughout the United States and Canada. In 2014, 2C worked with Ghanaian duo Ruff n Smooth to record "I Wanna Be". He signed a record deal with Outtaspace Entertainment in 2017 and enlisted Akon to record "Mr. Mechanic". 2C went on a promo tour, performing in Liberia, Ghana and Senegal; he performed at the anniversary of King FM Radio station in the latter country.[6]
