Sérigne M'Baye Gueye (French pronunciation: [seʁiɲ ɛmbaj ɡɛj]; born 28 March 1978), better known by his stage name Disiz (formerly Disiz la Peste, pronounced [disiz la pɛst]), is a French rapper and actor. Born to a Senegalese father and French mother, he grew up listening to hip hop music.

He was a great fan of the French rap groups NTM and IAM. He was discovered by JoeyStarr, one of the members of the famous rap group NTM after listening to a sample tape named "Bête de bombe".

Disiz has gained interest from the UK after his appearance on Channel 4's campaign: "Try life in another language". He is a follower of Islam and described his religion as his "greatest wealth" ("L'Islam est ma plus grande richesse").[2]
