JAZZ FEST 2025
I rose in purple, crowned by my ancestors.
I didn’t come to entertain.
I came to awaken.

From the ashes of oppression,
from the rhythm of the streets,
from the fire my grandfathers carried—
I bring you Nouveau Bounce.

This is not a performance.
This is a prayer.
This is a proclamation.
This is the rebirth of a tradition that refuses to die.

Jazz Fest 2025 — the stage was ours, but the spirit was ancestral.

Follow me to walk with the flame.
🎭🪶🎤

🔥 WHAT A NIGHT 🔥

The show ROCKED last night at Bayou Boogaloo!

Huge thank you to Uncle James Andrews and Uncle Renard, Bayou Boogaloo, Broadside NOLA, and my incredible Nouveau Bounce Fam Bam  for bringing the energy and making this such a special moment.

Very special shout out to my day-to-day management team, Corey Blossom and Big Queen Seven, for helping make all of this possible. So much work happens behind the scenes before anyone sees the lights, music, feathers, and magic on stage.

To everyone who danced, sang, and rocked with us — thank you. We felt that love! ⚜️🔥

The NOUVEAU BOUNCE movement keeps growing...
