Artist · cross-genre New Bouyon Wave feature
Matieu White
In 2023, Matieu White (also spelled Mathieu White) lands on two singles that matter: "Nouvo mood" with YSN and "OG Wet Fest" featuring Mr Ridge — one of the most-streamed Bouyon artists worldwide. Two years later, in 2025, he follows up with "Baddest" (Matieu White x 1T1 x Theomaa, ). Three pieces, three networks. But his profile leans dancehall / urban rather than central Bouyon — hence his place on the New Bouyon Wave periphery.

Why this profile matters
Matieu White (also spelled Mathieu White) leans more dancehall and urban than central Bouyon — his profile says so, no need to force him into a box that isn't his. But his features in the Bouyon Gwada network are solid. In 2023, "Nouvo mood" with YSN opens the sequence on the YSN side. That same year, "OG Wet Fest" feat. Matieu White drops on Mr Ridge's single — one of the most-streamed Bouyon artists worldwide. Two pieces, two different networks. In 2025, he shifts to the heart of the New Bouyon Wave with "Baddest" alongside 1T1 and Theomaa. Three features across three axes — that's what justifies his place in the scene's map, even if he isn't a central Bouyon name. A guest voice that circulates, not a pillar that settles in.
