CISUMMI — Leaving Paris to Start Over in New York

What do you do when you've already "made it" — and it still isn't enough?CISUMMI joins Tiny Table Radio for a conversation about leaving a built career behind, the discipline of patience, and refusing to let an algorithm shape his taste.CISUMMI built a DJ career in Paris, playing the big rooms, before deciding that real growth meant starting from zero in New York — the most competitive city he could find. He grew up between France, Spain, and Benin, and that multicultural ear is the throughline of his sound: West African rhythm, European melody, and the conviction that every culture has its own musical codes worth learning.We talk about the friend who pushed him to build his own studio, why he became more selective about the rooms he plays, what AI is really doing to music, the daily habit that keeps his crate-digging honest, and what the name CISUMMI means when you read it backwards.It's a conversation about patience, preparation, and the quiet years of believing in something before anyone else can see it.🎵 About CISUMMICISUMMI is a DJ and producer based in Brooklyn by way of France, Spain, and Benin — vibrant, travel-shaped music he calls an ode to the world's cultures.
