Abdoul Aziz Basse was born in 1991 in Louga and grew up in Ngaye Mékhé and Loudia Ouolof in Casamance. He plunged very early into the world of art because his father was an enthusiast. He was particularly interested in drawing, theater and cinema in his early years. This led him to join the Club Lettres, Art et Philosophie (CLAP) where he performed with his classmates during the school’s cultural days. He holds a bachelor’s degree and a second-year master’s degree in Film Editing at ESAV Marrakech.
