Haitian American Creole artist KANIS's musical odyssey began in the streets of New York City. Embracing her roots, she blended traditional Haitian rhythms into her music. Known for her genre-defying fusion of Racine, Voodoo, Rara, and Hip-Hop, KANIS's music is a vibrant celebration of her cultural heritage. KANIS is making waves in the fashion and entertainment worlds, securing her place among the elite.
In a society where the LGBTQ+ community continues to face significant challenges, particularly within the Caribbean, KANIS stands out. She became the first artist in Haiti to openly share her sexual orientation, despite it being illegal in the country. By doing so, she aims to inspire those constrained by societal norms to embrace their authentic selves and advocates for change and acceptance.
KANIS continues to inspire a new generation of artists.
KANIS remains committed to her roots and her community, proving that authenticity and cultural pride go hand in hand.
