Ricky Bishop is an artist from Guadeloupe, of Malagasy descent, who gave his own version of bouyon a name: #NewBouyon. A singer, rapper and sound engineer, he pushes the genre born in Dominica toward electro, trap and a Creole-French-English blend, openly claiming American influences like Lil Uzi Vert. Revealed in 2021 alongside Implaccable, he releases the EP "#newbouyon" in late 2024, the album "#newbouyonexperience" in 2025, then follows with the EP "#runitback" in 2026.

Why this profile matters

documents Ricky Bishop as a Guadeloupean singer and rapper of Malagasy descent, and also a sound engineer. His signature is a bouyon he renames "#NewBouyon": he keeps the percussion and cadence of the genre born in Dominica, but grafts on electro, trap and a franglais that moves from Creole to French to English. He claims American influences — he confirms Lil Uzi Vert's — and describes his own music as "audio crack", built to be addictive. Revealed in 2021 alongside Implaccable, he lays down his style on the album "ÖVER THE SUN" in 2023, then releases the EP "#newbouyon" in late 2024, carried by tracks like "Anlè Mwen" and "Flaques". In its wake, he launches the "#NewBouyonExperience" — not concerts, but immersive parties built around his world. In 2025 he follows with the album "#newbouyonexperience" and the single "Cololo", then in 2026 with the EP "#runitback" and the single "designER". Ricky Bishop pushes bouyon beyond the French Caribbean: the mix of languages and sounds aims at a connected generation, between Guadeloupe and France. His work reaches past music — he appears in the "Carte blanche to Pol Taburet" at the Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection, alongside Implaccable, Lil Rosy and Zepequenai. It's this stance of an artist exporting the genre, more than his numbers, that sets him apart in the current bouyon wave.
