Michele Henderson is Dominica’s pride and joy. Her smooth jazz melodies and amazing vocal abilities never cease to impress. She sings in English, French and Creole and is a true ambassador of Dominica’s culture and music as she performs around the world.
One of Dominica’s new-comers to the music scene, Breve is a like a breath of fresh air! Their passion and enthusiasm, their love of this Nature Island comes shining through in their original songs like, “Way-Oh” and “Welcome to My Island.” They compose and perform many genres, Caribbean Pop being one of their best. But they excel at Jazz with Jade’s sultry voice and Jussi’s tremendous talent on the saxophone.
Another young band from Dominica, Ti Orkest describe themselves as, “A band full of ENERGETIC, DEDICATED, DRIVEN musicians and vocalists! We are ready for this MUSIC thing!!!”
