Wally Seck is one of Senegal’s most popular musicians – his nickname is the People’s Singer, because he has huge appeal with young audiences. He’s also sometimes called the "prince of African pop", acknowledging that his countryman Youssou N'Dour is still the king.

His father was Thione Seck, a famous Senegalese musician, who performed with Orchestre Baobab, but later formed his own band, Raam Daan.

Wally is rooted in Senegal’s Mbalax sound but mixes it with Afro-pop and has released intentionally international facing albums. He has collaborated with big names in Afrobeats including Wizkid from Nigeria and Eddy Kenzo from Uganda. He has also released songs with US artists Chris Brown and Jason Derulo.

Amongst Wally Seck’s most recent hits is Confuse, which has racked up 48 million views on YouTube so far. Wally Seck’s most recent album Entre Nous, which means Between Us, dropped in March 2025.
