At the age of 16 he was selected to join the National Youth Orchestra of Congo. He was the youngest musician to perform with the National Youth Orchestra of Congo at the country's 11th annual festival held in Cuba. He has been chosen more than any other artist to represent his country at the international level. His career as a full time musician started with the band "Sinza Kotoko" (with Pierre Moutouari).

In 1982 he arrived in Paris where he co-founded "Les Officers" (with Tchico Tchicaya) "Mbamina", "Loketo" with (Aurlus Mabele and Diblo Dibala) and "Soukouss Stars" (with Lokassa and Dali Kimoko) In 1992 he formed the group "Zimbabwe" and recorded his smash hits Sarrah and Rama which set Africa on fire and then penetrated the European and American markets. His style of Soukouss is so unique that most fans sometimes conclude he is from one of the West African countries of Mali, Senegal or Chad but better believe it, Sah'lomon is proud to be a "Congolese". Taxi Diarabi from the Africantilles CD reinforced his international recognition as the King of Soukouss. Then came the hit single "Mami Wata Nicole" from the "I Love You" CD backed by the Ivorian singer Hindirah which clearly demonstrates Sah'lomon's talent as a versatile musician.
