Why this profile matters
Gael Jno. Baptiste — aka Trilla-G, from Goodwill right next to Roseau, Dominica — has been making music since 2017 and won the Dominican Calypso King title in 2023. In the summer of 2024, "Someone Else" with Little Boy and Quan turned into one of the most-played Bouyon singles of the year and opened a new lane. The track took Soca Collaboration of the Year at the 2025 Caribbean Music Awards, ahead of Kes, Patrice Roberts and Skinny Fabulous. That same year, he co-wrote "RAGS" with Shelly (Signal Band) and Skinny Fabulous — a single that won Dominica's very first Bouyon Road March in March 2025. On October 22, 2025, he dropped his debut album "Take Me as I Am", 13 tracks recorded at Th3rdHouse Studios (USVI), with V'ghn, Stalk Ashley, Mr Ridge and Shelly. The album hit number one on Dominica streaming platforms on October 24, and Billboard tagged him as a Caribbean Up & Coming artist. All of this happened while he was fighting cancer — a detail picked up across specialized press coverage.

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.

NICE breaks out with "Situashion Ship" on DJ Taffy's Funny Riddim — the single that opens the door to Dominican Nasty Business. Right after, "Wake Me Up" with Gwada G consolidates the tandem. In 2024, "Without You" alongside Reo, Trilla-G, Unstoppable Shax and Quan Dawg — five voices on the same feature — installs him at the heart of the scene. The same year, la presse caribéenne cites him among Dominican nominees for Bouyon Artist of the Year at the Caribbean Music Awards. In 2025, he joins the main lineup of Strictly the Best Festival — Bouyon Edition in Saint Martin.

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.
