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.

Why this profile matters

In September 2023, the single "New Bouyon Wave #1" brings together five voices — TIITII NBA, Nils, DJ Softee, Aknose and Theomaa — and gives the movement its name. 1T1 isn't on that track; he does belong to the collective of eight voices shaping contemporary Gwada Bouyon since 2022 (1T1, TIITII NBA, Softee, Aknose, Nils, Luky Lukee, Le Juh and Theomaa). His place in the wave isn't only about his voice either: he's the one 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". 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.
