Win'AB

How would you describe your sound to someone who has never heard you before, and what makes it undeniably you?

Blending reggae, jazz, Afro, and electronic music, I create organic, powerful music that will be performed live (trio or quartet).

What genre do you officially claim, and what genre do you secretly belong to?

I play reggae-fusion and electro-tropical, but I think like an Afro-jazz fusion musician.

What emotion do you find the hardest to write about honestly?

I like my music to remain a source of hope, movement, and positive energy. Writing about loss or helplessness in a completely honest way without immediately offering a ray of hope or a solution is always a challenge for me.

How has your city, background, or culture shaped the music you make?

Living and growing up at the crossroads of major cultural influences in West Africa, particularly in a vibrant artistic hub like Lomé, has shaped my very core identity. It is a land of rhythms, sharing, and a sacred connection to community and nature. This multicultural richness demands total open-mindedness from me: it fuels my constant desire to create a dialogue between reggae, the harmonies of Western jazz, and the energy of modern electronic music. My music is a direct reflection of this cultural fusion, proud of its roots and open to the world.

Are you the same person on stage as you are in the studio, and in real life?

No, I am different in real life versus on stage. Quiet and calm in person, energetic and dynamic on stage.

What's the hardest part of being an independent artist right now, and what's your honest strategy for navigating it?

Sell my music on my website and play live concerts and tours.

Who are you making this music for? Is there a specific person, version of yourself, or community you had in mind?

Making my music reach the world, for myself, for my upcoming fanbase, and for festivals.
