Interview With Haitian Social Media Sensation Kowkow, Part 2

An interview with Kowkow, Haitian social media internet.
He’s a rapper, poet, but most of all Haitian social media sensation Kowkow is a fashion bomb. He had been creating a name for himself in Miami, but he became a huge dot on a lot of folks’ radar after he showcased his unique fashion sense at Miss Boss Entertainment’s Haitian Music Entertainment Awards last month. In Part I of our interview, he gave us an introduction to himself as an artist. But let’s get to know the man behind the zany moniker a bit more!

K. St. Fort: Some folks love advice. What’s the best advice you’ve ever gotten?
“Don’t worry about what haters think about you. You’re an trend, an upcoming legend, you will go very far, and don’t give up.”
Guess where I got that advice from? Me! I sleep with that advice on top of my head. I wake up and I live with it.

K. St. Fort: In your Instagram bio, you make mention of your marital status, which male celebrities seldom do. What advice would you give to men out there who would like to jump the broom…
When it comes to marriage advice, I wouldn’t say I’m the perfect adviser for those who want to jump the broom. But for those who are truly seeking for my advice, there are a lot of pretty girls out there and it is very, very, very hard to find someone that can really stay faithful. So whenever you find a lovely one that cares about you, and love you for who you really are—not because you’re a celebrity—treat her with respect. Create time for her. Girls love that a lot [Laughter], and don’t cheat. Please just don’t. Why bother losing diamond over rocks?

K. St. Fort: Which artists have inspired you?
Eminem and Kowkow. Just us. [Laughter]

K. St. Fort: Finish this sentence for me, Kowkow. My biggest regret is…
I don’t have any regrets. I always stand behind anything and everything I do—no matter what the outcome is.

K. St. Fort: Do you read a lot, Kowkow?
They say the better you read, the better you write. I guess that’s why I stopped writing because I don’t read. Paragraphs give me headaches [Laughter]. That’s just me [Laughter].

K. St. Fort: When was the last time you visited Haiti, KowKow?
The summer of 2015.

K. St. Fort: What can we look forward to from KowKow?
A movement…watch out for my sense of creativity and also my clothing line. I’m also working on a EP that’s supposed to dropped this November, if God willing. Epi, Kowkow nan tet yo. Yo pral di se pa mwen wi. [And Kowkow all up their heads. They’ll swear it’s not me].

10 Questions With Singer-Songwriter Mikaelle Cartright

Mikaelle Cartright has a voice that’s like tropical silk. The New York-born, singer-songwriter has a jazzy style that recalls the styles of singers like Anita Baker with a little hint of Shirley Bassey. How did she develop her jazzy style? What role do her parents play in her support system as a singer-songwriter? Read on to find out. Kreyolicious: Your name is Mikaelle, no doubt stemming from the name Michael, which means Who Can Be Like God ? What is the most extraordinary thing that’s happened to your life that has had you saying the same phrase? Mikaelle Cartright: Correct, my name means “Who is like God”. My existence causes me to ask that constantly. My birth was a miracle. My mother almost lost me. She was placed on bed rest somewhere around the fourth month. The muscles of her uterus were giving out and the doctor said I was going to just fall out. The medication, some hormone treatment, was barely available and when Baby Doc fell, it was chaos. My mother was, thank God, ...

Haiti’s First Lady of Rap, and Hip Hop Kreyol?

Eunide Edouarin—the Haiti-based rapper more popularly known as Princess Eud —doesn’t like to do interviews. “When I’m being interviewed,” the raptress contends, “I have so many things going on my head at the same time that I sometimes answer questions they never asked me, and I’m kinda shy.” Yet shyness is a quality that very few would identity with Edouarin. Take a performance for example in which the self-described homebody held her own alongside CaRiMi , one of the most popular Haitian pop bands on the market, during one of her first big performances in New York. Slithering sexily onstage, the singer-rapper rapped effortlessly on the band’s hit “Fanm Nan Move”, before dissolving into a verse of her own song “Hey” . It’s utter confidence and bravado that shines through; no signs of timidity. Edouarin is a self-proclaimed traditional girl, but her start in the Haitian rap music game was far from conventional. While hanging at a local radio station in Port-au-Prince, she was invite...

Kreyolicious Interview: Mia Lopez, Publicist/Entrepreneur

Mia Lopez is the CEO and President of M.I.A. Media, Inc, a public relations firm based in Miami that caters to the Haitian entertainment industry. Lopez is a low-key person, but among her peers and industry insiders, her work doesn’t go unnoticed. Of her, Patrick Desvarieux, the founder of Kompa Magazine, said: “She is a natural. A people’s person. One of the best at what she does. A master of her craft.” Nick Jean of KalePwa.com calls her a pioneer. “She helped take the Haitian Community into modern times [in terms of her public relations work],” he contends. After being in the mainstream music industry, singer-songwriter Mickael Music wanted to enter the Haitian music market with her Bel Project, but wanted to go about it the right way. She recalls, “I asked around, ‘Who is the best PR marketing person in the Haitian music industry’? For the people that even knew what that meant all said, “Mia Lopez”, as if she [had] created the title in the Haitian music industry. When I say “ev...
