He was later selected as lead vocalist in the Junior college band , the †Lycée Polyvalent’s Bandâ€. Jean-Pierre also performed regularly at weekly jam sessions sponsored by the French Cultural Center in Douala. He was voted “ Best New Artist†for four consecutive weeks. This became the catalyst for his professional career. Jean-Pierre’s big break came in 1977 when he was contracted to perform as lead vocalist at “CLUB LA JUNGLEâ€, a renowned Cameroon area hot spot.

En 1974, il est engagé comme chanteur dans un groupe semi-professionnel, “The Black Singersâ€, poursuivant parallèlement ses études comme tous les adolescents de son âge. Son parcours scolaire l’amène au Lycée Polyvalent de Bonabéri , où, grandissant académiquement et musicalement, il devient le chanteur du groupe musical, représentant le Lycée dans plusieurs manifestations. C’est ainsi d’ailleurs qu’il est remarqué par un guitariste professionnel réputé.
