Gédéon Mundele Ngolo (French pronunciation: [ʒedeɔ̃ mundele (ɛŋ)ɡɔlo]; born 4 August 1994), better known by his stage name Franglish, is a French rapper and singer.

Originating from the 20th arrondissement of Paris and is of Congolese origin,[1] he was passionate about hip hop, rap, and French and American R&B. After seeing his beginnings, Brownie Dubz Gang collective started calling him Mr. Franglish because of his mixed freestyle.[2] He collaborated greatly with the rap group BFBC originating from Montfermeil. In 2013, he released his own Franglish Prototype, followed in 2017 with a second mixtape Changement d'ambiance[3] and a third in 2017 as Signature. His album Monsieur reached number 16 on the French Albums chart in 2019. His biggest single hit was "My Salsa" featuring Tory Lanez.[4]
