Bouyon artist

Kevni

Kevni — real name Sandy Kevin Tel-agnesa, from Petit-Canal in Guadeloupe — spent nine years building a YouTube presence before things took off. In 2017, "Corsaire" finally placed him in Guadeloupean dancehall. In 2018, "Olaleyley" pulled his audience onto Bouyon ground — a single that became a reference across Caribbean sound systems. Since 2023, he's been chaining features with TIITII NBA and the entire new Gwada wave.

Why this profile matters

Kevni spent the first half of the 2010s posting YouTube videos with few followers. Nine years of underground building before it took off. In 2017, "Corsaire" finally placed him in Guadeloupean dancehall. In 2018, "Olaleyley" pulled his audience onto Bouyon ground — a single that became a reference across Caribbean sound systems. In 2019, "Si Manman'w Té Sav" with Drexi and Edday started his first Bouyon period. In 2020, he dropped "Top Boy", his first 13-track project with Mathieu White and Lyrrix. The pivot lands in 2023 when TIITII NBA invites him on "Bad Mood", followed in 2024 by "Big Bonda" and the EP "Hot Bouyon Vibes". Today, Kevni is one of the strongest bridges between pre-2020 dancehall and today's New Bouyon Wave.
