perfect story of our Caribbean culture and diversity ...a Guyanese student of Chinese decent, studying in Miami meets the love of her life, of Afro-Haitian decent and gets married. They move back to Haiti to live and raise their family. Their eldest son while studying medicine takes time off to pursue a career in music as a DJ – Michael Brun Q - Who was your first inspiration to get into the music industry? A - I guess the very first was my dad. He used to have his own band called Skandal and I would sometimes be in the studio with him while he worked. I was still a baby but it definitely had a big impact on me. Q - Do you think you’ll ever go back to studying medicine? A - I hope so. At this point in my life music is my main focus, but education and medicine have always been very important to me. Ideally, I’d like to be able to return to school at some point in the future and finish my studies.
