The pseudonym comes from afar, in the preparatory school, where it was called "Paz", a word in Spanish that simply means "peace" instead of Pascal, and then ended by saying "Pazzos". The other part of his new name "Bi" was created by himself, putting the first letters of his name "Bimenyimana" (which means "it is God who knows") His youth went normally, he listened to bands like Lion Story, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and Otis Redding.

According to Pascal, the true committed Christian takes his time to draw closer to God, to abandon himself to ask forgiveness from the merciful God and to assume his commitment to conversion. For everyone, there is no lack of resistance to the word of God, which is why repentance is important in the time that God himself offers so that man can come back to Him, convert, completely change his life to walk in the footsteps of Jesus, following him in his footsteps towards the Father. Finally, it is his grace which can move man and make him change completely.
