Meet Edison Juste: An Outstanding Singer

Beyond the chaos, in the heart of the desolation, there are voices that resonate. They shatter the silence, depicting the macabre reality of everyday life in a thousand shards, thus defying evil to give meaning to life and make each day a place where hope flows like a stream of honey. Edison Juste’s voice is one of them: it sings of hope, of love, while praising God.

It was in Carrefour, 27 years ago, that the young singer’s sun rose within a family of four children. Edison Juste is the youngest.

Between the diplomat, the lawyer, and the entrepreneur that he is, singing remains his greatest passion for this young married man. Like many Haitian singers, Edison Juste took his first steps at a very early age in a choirYahvé Shamaalongside children his own age. He would later become the lead singer. This was in 2010. Asked about his first real encounter with music, he replied:

It was in 2013 that I really started singing. It was during a competition organized by Styl Doz at the Évangélique de la Grâce church,

, says the active member of the group YES (Yon Enstriman Sen), who also expresses his gratitude to singer Joseph Rhousteau, who inspired and coached him for several years.

Edison Juste stands out not only for his style, but also for his versatility. His ability to make the notes vibrate with a moving candor seems limitless. Yet, he has his preferences:

There isn’t a single style that characterizes me. I see myself as a liquid: I take the shape of the container. Even if I remain haunted by Worship, Compass, and Jazz, he confides.

Today, the Carrefour native boasts a rich and varied musical repertoire. From 2010 to 2025, he has grown both in maturity and in renown: five competition wins, his first song recorded in 2018, joining the band YES, his participation in the second album, Se pou m beni, a collaboration with Amos César in a musical, and his contribution to the album Anprent by maestro Berwin Sydney. For him, this journey is already a great source of inspiration.

Edison Juste never does without the presence of God, whether in the creative process or during his stage performances:

"What influences and motivates me the most is always the presence of Elohim, and the audience’s desire to savor and appreciate my work," he says.

Regarding the track "M ap tann ou" from the album Anprent, he says:

This song describes a reality I was experiencing in 2024. I received a call from Berwin and Eudes Saint-Vil asking me to lend my voice to it. This music still motivates me today; it nourishes me when darkness invades me.



Edison Juste is a singer who doesn’t wait for opportunities to write a new song. He shuns routine, letting himself be guided by inspiration, always supported by a maestro who faithfully coaches him. He’s moving forward slowly but surely:

Sometimes I isolate myself to unravel the meaning of each lyric. It’s always like this when I’m working on a piece of music, he explains.

Love, grace, sharing, and blessing are the common threads of his music. He dreams of a work that brings hope, reflection, and liberation to young people. As an artist, Edison believes he has a responsibility to his community:

"An agent of peace. Someone who brings hope and relief, who preaches morality and transmits values ​​that are useful to society," that’s the profile of a true artist, according to him.

For now, Edison has projects close to his heart. Without revealing everything, he confirms that his manager and production team are working hard to bring them to fruition.

Offstage, far from the microphone and the acclaim, Edison Juste is an adventurer. He enjoys exploring new horizons:

I like spending time in sales, discovering other worlds, and of course, listening to music

, he shares.

"My biggest dream is to organize a big concert that will bring together all the evangelical groups and artists. I want to show the whole world that there is potential in Haiti," he adds.

In an unjust world in search of identity, Edison Juste is one of those who believe in the power of human values:

Patience, humility, respect, gratitude… These are the values ​​that accompany me everywhere and that make me the person I am

, he affirms.

"Pray. Be consistent. Do what you know how to do. Don’t hesitate to venture out. Take risks. Learn tirelessly." »

Note that Eddison was the special guest at the first outingin April 2025of "À Voix Haute," a major discovery event hosted by Kafounews and JEUNES HAITI, which takes place every last Sunday of the month.

Haitian traditions

Haiti, the pearl of the Antilles, is a country rich in history and traditions. Its vibrant and diverse culture is reflected through its national holidays, cultural festivities, traditional foods, religious beliefs, folk tales, and traditional games. Let’s immerse ourselves in the social fabric of Haïti to discover the beauty of its traditions. b~National Holidays:~b National holidays in Haïti are moments of pride and national unity as January 1, Independence Day, commemorates the victory of Haitian slaves over French colonial forces in 1804, making Haïti the first independent country in Haiti. Latin America and the Caribbean or the commemoration of the Battle of Vertières on November 18. The Battle of Vertières was one of the last great battles of the revolution. It took place in Vertières, near the town of Cap-Haitien. b~Cultural Festivities:~b Haïti is also famous for its cultural festivities, particularly Carnival, which is an explosion of color, dance, and music. Artistic and craft events, such as the Rara festival, are an opportunity for artists to showcase their talent. The Rara, a musical parade, combines folklore and spirituality, creating a unique experience. b~Traditional Foods:~b Haitian cuisine is a delight for the taste buds. Dishes like griot (fried pork), diri djon djon (rice with black mushrooms), and the legendary joumou (joumou soup) are an integral part of Haitian culinary tradition. Bold flavors, spices and cooking methods inherited from African and French tradition make Haitian cuisine unforgettable. b~Vodou:~b Vodou, often misunderstood, is a synchretic religion that incorporates elements of Catholicism, African animism, and indigenous beliefs. It plays a significant role in the daily lives of Haitians, influencing music, dance, and religious rites. Vodou is a profound expression of Haitian spirituality. The Tales (Krik Krak, Tim Tim, Bwa Sèch): Haitian folk tales, passed down from generation to generation, are rich in morality and wisdom. b~Konbit :~b The concept of Konbit represents community solidarity. Haitians come together to perform community tasks, whether in agricultural fields or for construction projects. It is a living example of the collective spirit that permeates Haitian society. The most recent major project to date concerns the construction of the canal from the Massacre River to Ouanaminthe, which took place between September and December 2023. Thousands of inhabitants of the north of the country mobilized all their forces to erect a canal allowing to collect water intended for irrigation of their plantations, with the aim of obtaining better harvests. Despite their modest means, they were motivated by the slogan "KPK" (Kanal la pap kanpe), a direct response to Dominican President Luis Abinader who warned them and did everything in his power to stop the construction of the canal. This channel represents the deep solidarity of Haitians and reaffirms national pride. Despite economic challenges, the people of northern Haïti have demonstrated exceptional determination to work together for a common goal. The slogan “Kanal la pap kanpe” embodies their resilience in the face of external pressures and demonstrates their unwavering will to continue the construction of the canal. b~Traditional Games:~b Traditional games are an essential part of daily life in Haiti. Games like lido, sote kòd, Yoyo, Ralba, Marèl, TiTaTo, Kay, lago kache, Monte kap, teke mab, woule sèk, twa fwa se manbo, and domino bring people together, promoting camaraderie and fun. Haitian traditions are a harmonious blend of spirituality, community, and cultural diversity. Every aspect, from national holidays to traditional games, helps weave the rich cultural tapestry that makes Haïti proud. These traditions are the beating heart of the nation, a precious heritage that continues to be passed down from generation to generation.
