The article
Dominica News Online is a news site from Dominica, online since at least 2010, followed by more than 118,000 people on Facebook. Outlets from Saint Vincent, Canada and the United Kingdom quote it when they cover the island. The paper interviews the artist about his journey: starting out on an iPhone with BandLab and wired earphones, the New Bouyon Age EP recorded on a phone, then "Kitty Kitty", produced by DJ Luchshiy, which passes 1.65 million streams with no music video.
On where the genre comes from, TIITII NBA answers: "Bouyon isn't ours, it's Dominica's, and Guadeloupe is the second chapter." The article also mentions "Full Speed" with Milly, produced by DJ Taffy for Big Bang Records 767. Six days later, the World Creole Music Festival opens in Roseau.
