Why this profile matters
In October 2018, Kenny G plays the Kweyol Wandevou festival in the Roseau Botanical Gardens — first public appearance tying him to the Bouyon scene. He then settles into the Nasty Business sphere, the sub-genre created by Mr Ridge, where he becomes one of the regular voices alongside Pudaz, Sukie and Nice. In 2022, he features on "Push Ur Hand In Your" (Trina Riddim) with Dova, Mr Ridge and Pudaz, a single produced by Cross D Bridge Studio, and appears on the "Bouyon Kings" compilation. In 2024, "I Know Y" with Reo and Faithii places him in the new Dominican generation, and he hits one million YouTube views in less than a year on one of his singles. In 2026, he chains "Gangsta Love Bouyon Freestyle" and "Hustle" with Litleboy, Trixx and Frank White, and appears in the "Best Bouyon Hits 2026" and "Nasty Business Best of Bouyon Mix" mixes alongside Mr Ridge, Asa Banton, DJ Taffy and DJ MJ. He is elected to the Roseau City Council in March 2026, pairing his music presence with a civic mandate. Not to be confused with the American saxophonist Kenny G.
