truth told, beats unfold

I’ve been writing lyrics since 1993, maybe even 1989 or 1991, I can't remember — Born in Paris, raised in DC, mom is French, dad is Haitian ---

I've rocked mics, worked in kitchens, researched history and genealogies, learning how to turn raw ingredients into something people could feel. At this point I've lived several lives...and I plan on living several more.  They all taught me the same thing - don't hesitate, trust yourself, make the most out of every moment.

That’s what I'm doing with my music.

Every track is built from real moments—pressure, growth, identity, and everything in between. Nothing rushed, nothing borrowed.

From Paris to Port-au-Prince to DC.

This isn’t overnight.
This was inevitable.
