He began singing and leading the choir at LBA School, but he first gained attention in 2010, when he launched his YouTube account, where he frequently uploads renditions of popular songs by French and African musicians such as Singuila, Master Gims, Flavor, Stanley Enow, and Duc-Z 6.
Following the release of his official first video clip in November 2014, he signed with Big Dreams Entertainment in January 2015. Locko debuted his first song, “Perfect Girl,” with Numerica, on the Big Dreams Entertainment label. Later in April 2015, he released his debut solo song, named “Margo.”

The album featured songs such as “Sawa Romance,” “Ndutu,” and “Margo.” In 2016, he had his debut in the business when he teamed with singer Mr Leo on his track “Supporter.” The song became a great success, propelling him to a slew of further honours.
