A vibrant blend of R&B, soul, and Caribbean rhythms.

​

As part of the 3rd edition of SOULFEST MTL, discover Papi Jay, an artist whose distinctive sound seamlessly blends contemporary R&B, soul, and the rich musical traditions of his Haitian heritage.

​

First introduced to audiences during Season 9 of La Voix Québec, where he reached the grand finale as a member of Corneille's team, Papi Jay quickly established himself as one of the rising voices of French-language R&B. Now signed to Maison Kanda, he captivates audiences with his charisma, commanding stage presence, and ability to fuse powerful vocals, dance, and Caribbean influences into an unforgettable live performance.

​

Driven by the rhythms of konpa, rara, soul, and R&B, his music is both modern and heartfelt, celebrating authenticity and cultural pride. His debut album, Debouya, reflects a message of resilience, identity, and hope through emotionally rich and uplifting songs.
