Have you heard of Montreal’s own “Phil Collins of the Tropics”? He exists, and his name is Wesner Beaudry. This young artist delivers 100% pleasure with a Haitian sound that won over everyone at the latest edition of the Syli d’Or awards. Afrobeat, konpa, reggae, trap and pop—this versatile and multi-talented master drummer, singer and songwriter will get you into the groove and moving to the beat!
Wess left the Pearl of the Antilles but retained its artistic splendour. Since 2023, he has accompanied several singers and bands, including AfrotroniX, Baz Konpa and his Haitian brother, Jean Jean Roosevelt. Described as “the quiet strength of modern konpa,” he sings for our pleasure with a generous heart on sweet gems like “Gratitude,” while his reggae vibes draw us in as with “Love the Life You Live.” His drum kit, a key element of every performance, is
central to his Creole backstory and urban identity. Paragon of excellence and depth, the great WESS offers you a profusion of rhythms andsunshine with his compelling song “Manmanw manke m,” about the nostalgia of being far from those you love. An irresistible invitation to bathe in good vibes, so come and snap your fingers and whistle along to the music !
