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.

Why this profile matters
In 2019, Reo drops "Dominica I From", his first single that places him in the catalogue before the big 2020s collaboration wave. In 2022, he releases "The Fresh Prince of Bouyon", his 13-track album, and defends it the same year on the World Creole Music Festival (WCMF) stage. His catalogue blends African and Caribbean music: Bouyon, Soca, reggae, afrobeat. In 2024, "I Know Y" with Faithii and Kenny G strengthens his place in the new Dominican generation, and "Without you" with Nice, Trilla-G, Unstoppable Shax and Quan Dawg stretches his zone on the English Caribbean side. In 2025, "You Mad" with DJ Luchshiy, Jixels and Edday connects Dominica and Guadeloupe directly, and "Dotish Love" with Nessa Preppy (Trinidad) opens the door to crossover. He follows with "Money Over Love [EP]" with Faithii, "Adios Amigos" with Jixels and LeJuh, then "Shut Up" with Khallion and Problem Child in 2026.

Profiles linked by musical collaboration
LI
Producer · Bouyon artist
Little Boy
Little Boy — also spelled Litleboy or Lil Boy depending on platforms — is one of the central voices of late-2020s Dominican Bouyon-Soca. In 2021, he features on Reo's "Dou dou", his first platform link. Then everything speeds up: between 2024 and 2026, his name appears on roughly twenty releases, most often with Quan, Trilla G, Freddy, Trixx, Gwada G or DJ Taffy. The peak: "Someone Else" with Quan and Trilla G wins Soca Collaboration of the Year at the 2025 Caribbean Music Awards.
NE
Soca / dancehall artist · Bouyon collaborator
Nessa Preppy
In 2025, Nessa Preppy crosses the Dominican Bouyon circuit twice in a few months. First with "Feel It" feat Punz on the Bouyon Bad Riddim, then with "Dotish Love" alongside Dominican Reo — one of the year's most-covered cross-genre features. The Trinidadian remains a Soca/dancehall voice with 84,700 Spotify listeners, but this double appearance in twelve months marks the moment a female Soca voice starts entering Bouyon productions as a normal playing field — not an exception.
FA
Bouyon artist
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.
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.
LU
Producer · beatmaker · DJ
DJ Luchshiy
DJ Luchshiy, born in 1996 in Guadeloupe, builds the beats that connect both islands. In 2021, his feature with Mr Ridge on "Je T'aime Dayleeway" plugs him into Dominica early. Two years later, "KKM" with Aknose locks him in as a recurring New Bouyon Wave Gwada producer. Today his catalog runs through Aknose, TIITII NBA, Edday, Lestef KJF Boyz, Lucky Lukee, MiiMii KDS, Reo, Jixels and Mr Ridge — one of the few directly linking Guadeloupean production to Dominican voices.
ED
Bouyon artist
Edday
Edday — real name Eddy Vanerot — is one of the solo voices of the Gwada Bouyon transition. As early as 2019, he dropped "Ouu La La" with Reo and "Ti KoKa" with Bilix, LaRose and VJ Ben — two singles that anchored the transition. Six years later, "You Mad" 2025 with Reo, DJ Luchshiy and Jixels confirms he's still part of the chain linking the pre and post New Bouyon Wave eras.
JI
Bouyon artist
Jixels
Jixels — real name Jonathan Elusca, from Guadeloupe — is at the same time an artist, beatmaker and musician. From 2024, his name starts showing up regularly in the credits with "WIFI Freestyle" and "Adios Amigos". In 2025, "Nouveau La" with BRG Hollywood plugs him into Saint-Martin. In 2026, "Jéré Sa" with DJ Softee, Edday, DJ Boko and YSN locks his place. His catalog runs through Reo, DJ Luchshiy, LeJuh, Aknose, Luky Lukee, Shanika and Edday.
KE
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.
