The HMI Registry

The HMI Magazine Registry was established with a powerful goal in mind: to create the most complete and accurate record of all Haitian musicians across the globe. This registry serves multiple vital purposes—it is a platform for connection, opportunity, and preservation. However, this is an ongoing process, and we want to make it clear to the public: the list is not yet complete. With such a rich and widespread music culture, we need the help of everyone—musicians, fans, promoters, and industry insiders—to ensure that no artist is left out.
