With his band ZEKLE, Denis performed alongside legendary Haitian artists such as Wyclef Jean and Michel Martelly (Sweet Micky). He first achieved international fame with three ballets of his own, and as the co-director of the Creole adaptation of Plamondon's famous Rock Opera "Starmania”. Denis brings us music in such diverse genres as Dramatic, Classical, Rock, Jazz, Caribbean, Latin, Children's, and New Age.
Raoul Denis Jr's song "Korekteman - Haitian Kompa" is our December 2019 Editor's Choice Award winner. Featuring a rousing, vibrant merengue style, Kompa (aka Compas, or Zouk) is an exciting music genre originating in Haiti and spreading throughout the Caribbean. Great for tropical and festive commercial promos and similar happy, celebratory scenes.
Raoul Denis Jr. began his musical journey mastering Haitian rhythms and harmony, and later found his main passion as a composer. He has performed in numerous venues across Haiti, the Dominican Republic, France, and the USA, and was quickly noted for the unique style that he brought to the traditional Folk scene.
