About the Artist
Vox immigrated to Canada from Limbé, Haiti, in 1995 and three years later made Montreal his home and musical base. Beginning with his first album, Lakay (2008), he has interwoven issues of social and racial justice in lyrics that range across Haitian-Creole, French, English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
In his music, Vox instills pride among Haitians everywhere by highlighting their rich cultural heritage. Offstage, he marries music and social activism through SOLID’AYITI, artists and activists promoting solidarity between Canadians and the struggle for social justice, education, and environmental stewardship in Haiti and the youth community center he directs in the Montreal borough of Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce.
