Kenyo Alexandre Baly, born in Sint Maarten, January 3rd, 1996 fluent in both English and French. At the age of 6 he knew that music was his passion, often singing in church and honing this skill, at the age of 15 he moved to Long Island New York where he attended Uniondale high school and joined the Uniondale high school Show choir. He held the accolade as the first black singer to be awarded 'Best Male Soloist' at the national Show Choir competition in Manhattan New York; also being featured on national and international television channels such as ABC, NBC, FOX5, Newsday, Channel12, and CNN; and auditioned for the American reality talent show 'The Voice'. It is no question that music and performing is his calling and purpose. 

He returned to St. Maarten in 2012 and left his mark back home by winning the Telcel Breakthrough and Teen Times talent Showdown competitions. 

By the of age of 19, Kenyo had won many other singing competition between Sint Maarten and New York, he was seen as the undefeated. In 2017 Kenyo was crowned St Maarten’s Groovy Soca Monarch with his Soca hit 'Who Yuh Fuh?' Which the music video garnered over 100k views since its release. The following year he won the Groovy title once more with his hit “Infront Ah Me” which also hit over 100k views on YouTube. Kenyo is on top of the world.

"After winning the crowns, I told myself, you’ve made a name for yourself locally, now I want to be known internationally, this is my endeavor.'" 

His management at the time “Xtratight Entertainment” and Bertaux 'Mr. Rude' Fleming, knew that the Sint Maarten native had something special. After the island was hit and destroyed by category 5 hurricane Irma, Kenyo and his team found it best to released a reggae cover “Starting All over again” which touched many hearts. After one week of its release the video reached over 90k views, being shared across the Caribbean and the world.

Today, the 'Who yuh fuh' singer has performed throughout the Caribbean, the United States and Europe. He is a songwriter, composer, and social media influencer. Often posting covers on YouTube, Instagram and Tik Tok, in 2021 his duet cover (Rihanna’s Love on the Brain) with Parkwood artist Chloe Bailey, of Chloe x Halle  was recognized and reshared by Chloe herself. “This was a big stamp of approval” said Kenyo, thus gave him an extra boost of motivation.

Kenyo has a better sense of his musical identify and direction, he’s preparing for his up coming EP which is scheduled to be released in 2022, along with his newly established team.

Double D is an extraordinary DJ, producer, audio engineer, and radio personality based in St. Martin. Being known for his versatility and creativity, his style is truly unique within the previously mentioned disciplines.

Born Daniel A. Dormoy on St. Martin, French West Indies, Daniel grew up with the aspirations to become a musician. With a family that has a background in music, Double D was set on the right course.

His debut as a producer occurred in 2011 while messing around on FL Studio (a program used to create music), when a few friends came into the room. They heard what he was working on, complimented him on how good it sounded, urging him to finish it, and share it across the various social media outlets. So he did, and word spread like wildfire concerning his production skills. Double D is proficient in genres such as: Zouk, R&B, Hip Hop, Dancehall, EDM, Soca, Bachata, Merengue, Reggaeton, Dembow, and more. In 2012, those skills landed him a role as a co-host on The Andrew Dick Show; a popular radio show catering to the young, and the young at heart. Double D was a natural, seeing as the show highlighted his laidback, yet comedic personality.

His debut as a DJ occurred in 2013, at a local talent show called Rock Tha House, for which he won Best Amateur DJ consecutively in 2013 and 2014. The admiration and respect he earned of everyone during that competition, led him to his 1st gig a week later, and it didn’t stop there. Also in 2012 he attended the Video X Games Casual Sundays as a socialite. He eventually ended up playing there along with their resident DJ (DJ Bean), while gaining the notice of the gamers and socialites alike who frequented the event. Two weeks later, a group of guys that consisted of local entrepreneurs changed his name from Double D, to DJ Protégé. Daniel took on the name, using it along with Double D, catered to two different audiences and had their own respective following. In the years 2013 and 2014, those two names would casually conflict with each other. So eventually, DJ Protégé was dropped and Double D was made to stay. Gradually increasing his knowledge and skills in the art of DJing, mixing and blending anything from vocal stems to Zouk, Double D played at venues like: The Festival Village, Soggy Dollar Bar, Tantra, The Platinum Room, Sky Beach Lounge, 3 Amigos, and Lotus.

In 2015, his production skills led to him being contacted by Jamaican YouTube star Kevin2wokrayzee, to recreate a beat for one of his videos (which went viral). In 2016, Dee (former co-host of the Suppa Duppa Morning Show) held an online DJ competition, which Double D entered and won, earning him a guest performance at her Mardi Gras birthday bash in Tantra. You can tell that his performances are memorable, as his performance at The Video X Games back in 2012, led to him to becoming the resident DJ at the Poet’s Lounge from 2016 to 2019. In 2018, DJ Outkast held a DJ competition for a slot in his Black & White party series (which he entered and won). That performance led him to being the resident DJ of 3 Amigos’s Wild Wednesdays from 2019 to early 2020.

He states that his influences are: Timbaland, Pharrell Williams, Mannie Fresh, Noah “40” Shabib, Mr. Probz, Tito Beatz, Swanks, DJ Wilson, DJ Outkast, DJ Premier, DJ Big Boss, & DJ Puffy.
Radio Personalities: Lady Grace, Big Boi, Gee Money, and Sagan.
