T-Rosemond and Ital Souls Reggae Night in support of Zanmi Lakay
Zanmi Lakay is super excited to be the recipient of these musical fundraising efforts and want to thank Toby Seeger, Rosemond Jolissaint, and all of the musicians and volunteers for their support!
T-Rosemond began his music career as a street performer in Haiti, singing his original songs inspired by the homeless street children. He won the first Digicel Stars (Haiti’s version of Amercan Idol) contest as the youngest contestant by popular vote. His lyrics resonate with people living in poverty and struggling to make ends meet. Wherever he performs, he captures his audience through his compelling songwriting and beautiful voice. After relocating to the SF Bay Area in 2010 he has been performing as a solo artist and with Ital Souls. Together they have released two singles, “Respekte” and “Fly Baby”. They perform original songs as well as classic covers, delivering energizing rhythms and vibes.
