Seikou was born in 1964 in Sukuta Nanie in The Gambia.
He is directly descended from a long line of Griots.
As a boy he followed his father Jaliba Denbo Susso in the family tradition of
learning to sing and play Kora as a Griot.
As a small boy Seikou would accompany his father on all his Griot outings performing music and poetry.
<p>
His early musical training was learnt sitting beside his father.
Seikou was encouraged to keep time with the music by tapping on the calabash - the gourd
which makes up the back body of the instrument.
</p>

Seikou has a brother and sister. His sister Debar Susso, is a well known singer in West Africa.
