The Comedian Chino of Ranse AK Chino

Haitian comedian Chino of Ranse ak Chino comedy
Comedian Chino of Ranse Ak Chino is one of the most popular comics on Instagram. If his videos of the overbearing Haitian mom are relatable, it’s probably because they are based on a real Haitian mom—his! Know what whistling in a Haitian house will get you? Not chocolate chip cookies or griyo, that’s for sure! And do you know what will happen when you state a reply in English when you were originally addressed in Haitian Creole? Well, you don’t want to find out! But you do want to find out more about the talented young man behind the Chino persona. Well…be my guest!

Kreyolicious: What has helped you grow as a comedian?
Chino: Well, my people definitely helped me grow and they still are helping me grow. Without my supporters, can nothing happen. It’s all [of] them. They have to give me feedback and different mini-comments on what they looking for or want me to do so I can deliver and get better and be greater.

Kreyolicious: You been to Haiti?
Chino: Yes! I was born and raised in Haiti came here after the earthquake in 2010 and my mother decided to reside in the U.S permanently and here I am. But, I do go to Haiti every single year since I’ve been here.

Kreyolicious: Let’s say you were creating a special committee of comedians to help you guide your career. Who would you select and why?
Chino: Cool question. Well, I haven’t thought of that ever but never say never and anything can happen so far I know I would definitely choose Jessie Woo, TI DEZÒD, Atys Panch. I selected these three because I feel like together we would definitely blow up because each of us are from the same place we do the same thing but have different flair, so we would each bring out our originality and mix together and probably create some bomb show.

Kreyolicious: Where do you see yourself in five years?
Chino: Well, I hate predicting the future. So, what I always say is I wake up every day with a great mindset to be the best that I can be at anything that I do and go with the flow while going with the flow you also figure yourself and life out to know what you want to do and try to make it happen while going with the flow.

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...
