We open the Brussels Dance Festival with a festive evening on the Fusion Stage at Place de la Bourse!

Daryl Ngoga is one of the performers featured in the line-up.

About the artist

From the discipline of traditional Rwandan ballet, which he began practising at the age of four, to the vibrant urban scene of Brussels, Daryl NGOGA has built a unique artistic identity. An actor, dancer, songwriter, composer and performer, he does far more than sing. He brings his emotions to life on stage. After making his mark with the collective LaB12, founded in 2020, Daryl NGOGA embarked on a decisive solo career in 2024. His music blends Afro and R&B with the energy of Dancehall and the depth of Hip-Hop. With his debut EP FEEL IT, the singles Kata, Pour Toi, Non Stop and No More, along with several covers, he has already captivated a wide audience, amassing more than half a million views across social media since January 2026. More than a singer, Daryl NGOGA is a true performer. His charisma as an actor and his rhythmic heritage turn every song into an immersive experience. In 2026, with the single LONELY and the EP StarBoy, he confirms his status as one of the Belgian music scene's most exciting rising artists.
