I can go on record to officially declare the end of the recession period. Every Haitian bal were pack to the max.

Many of us dream of a better Haitian Music Industry and for some it will be nothing but a dream, because they are living in the past or because they are in deny. However, we can create a better Haitian Music Industry if we really want to! Where do we star? Let’s start with the product that we are putting out there for the consumer. I want the producers and artists to respect and polish their crafts. Nowadays, Haitian Artists have plenty of places to get their inspiration from. Pretty much all around them, all they have to do is to slow down and appreciate life . Some producers are only in it for a quick buck and the lack of professionalism is killing the business. Virtually after every tax season we have producers and promoters out of the woodwork looking to make some cold cash and in the process they are doing more damage then good to the industry. I think it’s time for us to have guidelines for the Haitian Music Industry. Just imagine a country without any rules, total anarchy, chaos and barbarians. A recipes for disaster. We have Djs that are literally pandering to artists in other to play a record. Just the thought of it make me sick to my stomach. We need a company who specialise in getting rid of the payola in the Haitian Music Industry, and let's be honest, we have a lot of this going on.

Founded by choreographer Robin Antin in 1995, the Pussycat Dolls began as a burlesque dance revue based in Los Angeles, spawned a second revue in Las Vegas, grew into an A-list phenomena with a revolving cast of guest celebrities, and eventually became a recording act with a number one dance hit. It wasn't long after launching its revue that the troupe began attracting actresses and models who wanted to become a Pussycat Doll for a night. Christina Aguilera, Pamela Anderson, Kelly Osbourne, Pink, Britney Spears, Carmen Electra, and Gwen Stefani are just some of the names who donned lingerie and pinup costumes and joined the Dolls for their flirtatious shows. An appearance in the 2003 film Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle was followed by numerous television appearances, most with Carmen Electra.
