Annabel Oreste & Dynoss Rich

Annabel Oreste | RNB, Pop (Haiti)

At just 24 years old, Annabel Oreste embodies the strength and radiance of a new generation of Canadian artists. Of Haitian descent and first discovered as “Princess Annabel” on Star Académie 2021, she blends the power of gospel with the emotional depth of pop and R&B, creating music filled with courage, self-love, and faith. Her standout covers — including Body and Soul (over 300,000 YouTube views) — and her performance at CBC Gem’s Honey Jam Showcase highlight her singular talent. After Trop Jeune, an anthem for youth mental health tied to her work as an ambassador for Jeune en Tête, Annabel continues her rise with Brotherman and her upcoming single Hero, a prelude to her debut EP LOVINGLY.

Dynoss Rich | Afrobeats, Rumba, Sebene (DRC)

Originally from Goma in North Kivu, Dynoss Rich grew up in a Protestant Christian family and discovered his musical calling at the age of 10. In 2010, he moved to Uganda, where he joined the gospel orchestra Descendants of David before founding his own group, GEC, a year later, active on the local scene. After moving to Canada in 2014, he continued his musical mission by co-founding the Christian Flag Band, a collective dedicated to praise and worship in churches across the country. In 2023, he joined Kotakoli, the band led by Blaise Labamba, performing on several international stages. In 2024, Dynoss Rich began his solo career with Dynoss Music, his full orchestra, and released his original works on digital platforms, including the popular single Bella.
