1T1
1T1 — real name Terry Baptiste — is the voice-producer behind much of the Guadeloupean New Bouyon Wave. Guadeloupean father, Guyanese mother. At age 3, his uncle Thierry Cham introduces him to gwoka. Ten years on percussion, a production school in France, then keyboard self-taught on YouTube. His single "Bouwéy" feat. Theomaa is certified gold, crosses 18 million views on YouTube and is nominated at the 2026 Flammes Awards in the Caribbean song category. The CHORD album drops in December 2024, and he follows up in 2026 with the single "In Di Corner" feat. MiiMii KDS.

Why this profile matters
In September 2023, when the single "New Bouyon Wave #1" drops, the collective of eight voices behind it — 1T1, TIITII NBA, Softee, Aknose, Nils, Luky Lukee, Le Juh and Theomaa — officially names the movement that's been shaping contemporary Gwada Bouyon since 2022. But 1T1 isn't just laying down vocals. He's also building the beats for Theomaa on "Bouwey", "Ouba", "Viniw", "Baddest". For Aknose and Le Juh. For Mr Ridge on "Do Baby" and "She Stupid" in 2025 — a direct bridge between the Dominica scene and Guadeloupe's. For Drexi on "Mi Bouyon" in 2023. For Shanika on "Sa dou". With 807,000 monthly Spotify listeners, he stands among the most-streamed Bouyon artists worldwide, alongside Theodora, MiiMii KDS, Mr Ridge and HollyG. RFI Couleurs Tropicales hosts him in May 2025 as composer, producer and singer — the three roles he juggles without favoring one. His artistic direction holds in one phrase he keeps repeating: "elevate the genre by reshaping its codes." Refined aesthetics, less explicit lyrics — he's the one pushing the New Bouyon Wave toward the mainstream without betraying where it came from.

LE
Bouyon artist
LeJuh
Le Juh — real name Julio Polydamas — is one of the eight voices carrying the New Bouyon Wave, alongside 1T1, TIITII NBA, Softee, Aknose, Nils, Luky Lukee and Theomaa. From 2023 on, "Volé'y" with Luky Lukee and Nils places him in the leading trio. His voice quickly becomes one of the most sought-after of the wave: "Leave Me Alone" with 1T1, Dinho, Theomaa and Binksdrick in 2024, "Pran On Pyé" with 1T1, Qwann and YSN in 2025, "Karibbean Gyal" with Lestef KJF Boyz the same year, then "Move" and "Good" in 2026.
QW
Bouyon beatmaker
Qwann
Qwann lands on four singles between 2024 and 2026, in two different sub-circles of the New Bouyon Wave. "1er Feu" 2024 ties him to the Miimii / Lucky Lukee circle (with Binksdrick, Dinho — ). "Pran On Pyé" 2025 places him in the 1T1 pole (with YSN, LeJuh — ). "Uhdahdah #2" 2025 confirms with Lucky Lukee and 1T1. And in 2026, "Move" brings together YSN, Aknose, LeJuh, Theomaa, 1T1 and Qwann — four canonical NBW pillars around him. Recognised beatmaker, not a pillar, but a cross-network pivot.
YS
Beatmaker · composer
YSN
YSN — real name Nicolas Lanclume — is a Guadeloupean beatmaker and composer. Since 2024, his name keeps coming back on the releases that shape the New Bouyon Wave: "Manawa" with Aknose in 2024, then in 2025 "Pran On Pyé" with 1T1, Le Juh and Qwann, "Matcha" and "Palabras" with Aknose. And in 2026, "Move" brings 1T1, Aknose, Le Juh, Theomaa and Qwann around him — proof that he's become one of the producers the new generation lays their vocals on.

Artist · female Bouyon / urban voice
MiiMii KDS
MiiMii KDS is one of the major female breakthroughs in contemporary Gwada Bouyon. With 710,000 monthly Spotify listeners, direct writing and a hyperactive sound produced by DJ Skycee, she's one of the voices pulling the scene toward globalization. Her single "Sé Miimii" feat. DJ Skycee in 2025 becomes the first Bouyon single reviewed by Pitchfork. She follows up in 2026 with "In Di Corner" feat. 1T1 and an announced presence at Les Flammes.
MI
Bouyon artist
Miky Ding La
Miky Ding La is one of the voices of the first hardcore Bouyon Gwada wave — the one that followed the Gwada Act II carried by Vador, DJ Joe and Asa Banton. As early as 2013, he dropped "Bitin woz" on les plateformes streaming — a single that placed him in the same lane as Kassidje, Ghetto Princess, Sted Kila and Haterz B. Ten years later, he came back with "Sa dou" alongside 1T1 and Shanika in 2023, proving he bridges the Gwada pioneers and the New Bouyon Wave platform era.
SH
Bouyon artist
Shanika
In July 2023, Shanika — real name Maeva Ingrid Alphonse — drops "Kay vé yo", a single that became the summer hit on the back of the viral catchphrase "Je m'appelle Shanika et j'adore le Nutella". From Guadeloupe, she then toured France, Germany, Réunion, Martinique and French Guiana. A remix with Mr Vegas followed, then the "Replay" EP in April 2025, plus key features with 1T1, Miky Ding La, MiiMii KDS and Little Boy.
BI
Bouyon artist · second platform cycle
Binksdrick
2024, Binksdrick drops on two major singles the same year. "Leave Me Alone" with 1T1, Dinho, LeJuh and Theomaa plugs him straight into the New Bouyon Wave core. "1er Feu" with Miimii KDS, Qwann and Dinho plugs him into the Luky Lukee side. Two singles, two different crews, twelve months — that's rare. He becomes one of the NBW's recurring features without being a founding member.
DI
Bouyon beatmaker
Dinho
Dinho is a Guadeloupean Bouyon beatmaker, one of the recurring producers of the New Bouyon Wave. In 2024, like Binksdrick, he drops on two important singles: "Leave Me Alone" with 1T1, LeJuh, Theomaa and Binksdrick on one side, "1er Feu" with Miimii KDS, Qwann and Binksdrick on the other. Two different crews the same year. A third piece — "SKILLI" — rounds out the catalog. Three documented drops that place him as a regular featured beatmaker of the movement.
