Faithii
Faithii — better known by her stage name Bouyon Barbie — is one of the major female voices of Dominican Bouyon's 2024+ generation. From Dominica, she breaks through in 2024 with "I Know Y" alongside Kenny G and Reo, then "SUPERSTAR" pushes her into the mainstream the same year. In 2025, she wins "Female Artist of the Year" at the Dominica Music Awards and joins the official lineup of the World Creole Music Festival.

Why this profile matters
In 2024, when Faithii lands on "I Know Y" with Kenny G and Reo, she places herself squarely on the "Nasty" line of Dominican Bouyon — the one that keeps the rougher, carnival-driven, explicit tradition against the platform-era New Bouyon Wave. Her "Bouyon Barbie" alias quickly becomes a recognisable visual signature. Later that year, "SUPERSTAR" confirms her public buzz. In 2025, her collaborative EP "Money Over Love" with Reo, followed by "Come On Baby" with Trilla G produced by Tha Wizzard, settle her into the Tha Wizzard / Kenny G network shaping today's Nasty scene. That same year, she receives "Female Artist of the Year" at the Dominica Music Awards 2025 — la presse dominicaine names her directly as "Bouyon Barbie Faithii". In 2026, la presse dominicaine Authority includes her in the official lineup of the 25th World Creole Music Festival, alongside Vybz Kartel and Bunji Garlin.

KE
Bouyon artist
Kenny G
Kenny G, real name Kenny Jno Baptist, is a Dominican Bouyon and Nasty Business voice, based in Roseau. Regular features with Faithii, Reo, Pudaz, Mr Ridge and Litleboy, presence in the scene's flagship riddims (Nasty Business, Trina Riddim), with one million YouTube views in under a year on one of his singles, and a Roseau City Council election in March 2026.
RE
Bouyon artist
Reo
Reo, real name Dario Sebastien Yankey, is a Dominican artist from Colihaut. With his album "The Fresh Prince of Bouyon" released in 2022, he proves Bouyon can do it all — from rough for the street to love side for the girls. Central voice between Faithii, Kenny G, Edday and DJ Luchshiy, he bridges the Dominican scene and Guadeloupean productions.
TH
Producer · sound engineer · studio
Tha Wizzard
In 2018, Tha Wizzard's name shows up on the mix and mastering of Reo's "Sa Ka Bay" — a single that now stacks 2.4 million YouTube views. Four years later, his label-studio WizZarD HouSe Records grows inside modern Dominican Bouyon, alongside the Mr Ridge explosion. In 2025, he produces two major releases of the new female wave: Faithii / Bouyon Barbie's "Trippin" and the Trilla-G x Faithii duo's "Come On Baby". Important: Tha Wizzard is NOT Cecil Joseph, the former Roseau mayor between 2001 and 2013, a politician with no connection to music whatsoever.
