VJ Ben

VJ Ben has been spinning as a DJ since 2013, but in 2021 his production work shifts into high gear. When he produces "Je l'ai vu" with HollyG and Arendi, he lays down the beat that opens the post-COVID Bouyon Gwada cycle — the window that directly paves the way for the 2023 New Bouyon Wave. Two years earlier, he was already credited as producer on "Ti KoKa" 2019 with Bilix, LaRose and Edday. The "Charles V Remix" 2023 relaunches the track on the platform chain. A pivot producer, not a global pillar — but the New Bouyon Wave was built on his beats.

Why this profile matters

VJ Ben has been spinning as a Guadeloupean DJ since 2013, but his explicit Bouyon credits start in 2019 with "Ti KoKa" — single where he appears alongside Bilix, LaRose and Edday, in the 2016-2022 Gwada transition. The real shift comes in 2021 with "Je l'ai vu": he produces the single bringing together HollyG (on the rise — the BET 2024 nomination is coming), Arendi (back after a 2013 trace) and himself. At that moment, it's one of three tracks documenting the post-COVID Bouyon Gwada cycle — same window as D0 Production's "Hot Bouyon Riddim" and Voodoo Studio releases. The Best Prod label provides production context. In 2023, the "Charles V Remix" of "Je l'ai vu" relaunches the track on platforms and installs it in the pre-NBW. VJ Ben isn't a global pillar. But without his 2019-2021 prods, the 2023 New Bouyon Wave wouldn't have had the technical ground to stand on.

Verified timeline

  1. Start of VJ Ben's activity as documented DJ — earliest marker of the known period.

  2. `Ti KoKa` (Bilix, LaRose, Edday, VJ Ben) — marker title of the 2016-2022 Gwada transition where VJ Ben is explicitly credited.

  3. `Je l'ai vu` (HollyG, Arendi, VJ Ben) — one of the post-COVID tracks that paves the way for the 2023 New Bouyon Wave. Explicit Bouyon high marker.

  4. `Je l'ai vu (Charles V Remix)` reopens the track in the platform revival cycle — same HollyG / Arendi network.

  5. VJ Ben remains a reference as a transition connector, on the periphery of the platform New Bouyon Wave.
