EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW ON THE K&C MAGAZINE

STANISLAUS ADU TAKUM who goes by the name DULO is an uprising artist(rapper) from the Menka origin Widikum in the Northwest Region of Cameroon, though his mother is from Bali Nyonga. He is twenty-two years old and is the last of 4 children to their parents (3 boys and a girl).
Coming from a religious background, Dulo is a Catholic and very strong in his faith. He attended all his primary school at C.S Batibo and attended his secondary and high school at G.H.S Batibo. During his secondary and high school days, Dulo was so much passionate about Literature in English that he longed to be a Literature teacher. Having this dream with him after high school, he started studying modern letters as a private student at ENS Bambili. But he later dived into studying Insurance at Polytechnic Bambui that same year in 2014. In 2016, he obtained his HND in Insurance.
The love of poetry and expressions pulled Dulo into the music world where he been for these past years. He has to his credit 4 official tracks namely; HAND FOR MOB; ELE SO; IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW; and AND SO. He has also done a number of collaborations with other artists some of which include; RED OIL ft Jeff J and Tclin; TIME NO DE ft Jeff J, Chantal Travota and Tclin; and EASY ft Jeff J and Branza.
Dulo also draws his inspiration when he listens to artists like JOVI, STANLEY ENOW, FALZ, SARKODIE, MANIFEST, J COLE, KENDRICK LAMAR and a few more.
“They give u what you want to hear and come when you least expect” he describes his role models
Like every other person, Dulo faces a number of hindrances to his vision. One of which is the lack of support from those who have already made a name in terms of putting their logo or signature tune on a song they produced, and also giving feedback on songs sent to them, thus Dulo pleads with the “big brothers” of the art to give a helping hand to those who are still uprising.
“With the fans, the showbiz in Cameroon has just 2 more years to grow because they have begun consuming our own products. It is now left to the musicians themselves to improve on their music quality and help each other grow” Dulo quotes.
Dulo encourages all of you upcoming artist to be prayerful, believe in yourself and your art, and love yourself. He goes on to put you on guard that God before all and never to let praises get to your head as it kills good talent.
“If you don’t believe and love what you are doing, how do you expect people to love your arts?” a food of thought by Dulo
Asides rap, our admirable artist also has some knowledge in manicure and pedicure for ladies as he studied it. But as of now, he is a kind-hearted person who volunteers at the Delly Singah Foundation, an NGO meant to give the homeless hope.
