Admiral-T

Over the years, highly supported by popular success, Admiral-T has gained recognition as undisputed spearhead in reggae-dancehall in creole language. He has become one of the top icons in modern West- Indian music.The artist’s first album- Mosaic Kréyol- released in 2003, which later on became a classic, already symbolized a claim for cultural identity and the right for any community to be acknowledged.

In the West Indies, the beginning of this century has been marked by an all-out effort to tackle the question of identity in territories where the scars and stigmata of slavery are manifold. However, it is now necessary that our West Indian communities should turn to the future in order to blend with others in an overall context of globalization.
Being limited by the size of our islands, we naturally open up to the outside world. What with our languages, our experiences, and our vision, we have the power and the duty to send our messages further across and find a part to play within the world.
Dancehall is not just a musical style, for it has become the representation of a whole people for whom words convey meanings. Besides, if we were to assign a specific mission to “Dancehall Kréyol”, it would undoubtedly be the expression of a reality and a universe of its own, making it so special and worthy of respect.
The whole production stems from a desire to move forward and faith in the future.
This new album bears the hallmark of ADMIRAL T : respect for human values, strong links with the caribbean communities, belief in hard work , a will to transcend himself, and the importance of family.
He has created an album both intimate and wide open to people, which he intends to share with an ever-inreasing audience.
When it all started, ADMIRAL T and his music were able to go beyond limits thanks to popular support. Let’s keep this support alive to give that créole culture a chance to reach out and hit the horizon.
