TRESOR (French for "treasure" and pronounced "Trezor"), born Mukengerwa Tresor Riziki is an award winning and multi platinum selling DRC born singer-songwriter-producer currently based in South Africa.
Tresor's first language is Music but he is also fluent in English, French and Swahili. His songs reflect a peregrine of life shared by so many on the continent of Africa, but few are able to express their experiences in a way that captures the ear so universally and directly.
Tresor's early childhood favorites, Bob Marley, Papa Wemba, Phil Collins, Lokua Kanza later expanded to include a new explosion of influences from Sting, Seal, Maroon 5, Asa, One Republic, Freshly Ground, U2, Bruno Mars and Coldplay.
This is a new soul sound, moulded in Africa.
Not long after his journey south from the heart of Africa, Tresor was performing alongside Eddie Grant, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Freshly Ground, Prime Circle, Just Jinjer, Goldfish, Vusi Mahlasela, Lira, HHP and Johnny Clegg - to name a few.

Take you higher / Higher higher than the empire state
Take you higher / Higher Higher than Mount Everest
Dimitri Kechagias review: The upcoming artist Tresor from South Africa presents the ultimate summer anthem Mount Everest. The original mix is a beautiful tropical melodic deep house production with funky guitar licks, deep basslines and laid back relaxing smooth grooves that will sooth you and manage easily to uplift your senses to the next level. If feel good positive music is what you are searching for this great record will make you feel tall like Mount Everest. Freddy Verano remix is the club friendly version with deep basslines, upfront sun shinning atmosphere and great guitar riffs that add the organic warm and tender feel to the magical final result. Dreamy, travelling, inspirational, warm, smooth and perfect to express your love to your very special person and even can be one of the songs that you will dance when you feel down and you need encouragment to carry on. Relax and let the soulful voice travel your spirit to a higher place. #PureGold Love iT
