Émile Ilboudo (born 20 September 1988),[3] better known by his stage name Imilo Lechanceux, is an Ivorian-Burkinabé singer, dancer and DJ.

In 2004, at age 16,[5] he moved to Tanghin-Dassouri, a village near Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso,[6] where he continued his dancing alongside school.

However, the song gained large exposure following its broadcast during the half-time of a quarter-final match at the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations.

[3][6] Following the death of Ivorian musician DJ Arafat on 12 August 2019, Lechanceux gave a commemoration at his funeral.

[7] Lechanceux has performed at festivals alongside artists including Floby, Dez Altino and Hawa Boussim[8] and has worked with Ivorian producers Bebi Philip and Serge Beynaud.
