BIO
I was born In the Caribbean island of Haiti that has a rich history, full of vivid beauty and historical essence, along with the humility and humanity of its people. These events have greatly influenced my childhood growing up with my family: which consist of my parents, grandma, my sister and my brother. We didn’t have much growing up, but my parents worked hard and made a lot of sacrifices to take of us. One of my memorable moments growing up were my parents playing music in the household, that influenced my brother and I a lot who was rapper growing up. I followed, and his footsteps but I decided to sing instead. I started taken music seriously after I had participated in a musical contest at my school which I won, i was given a guitar. At the time I didn’t even know how to play. I devoted my time to practicing to learn how to play, wherever I would go I will take a guitar with me that’s how I knew I had a passion for music and I turn that into a career.Now Lets dive in my world
