Phyllisia Ross is one such artist—a brilliant, multi-talented star whose passion, elegance, and versatility have solidified her status as one of our most influential Haitian-American performers.
Known for her soulful voice, classical training, and captivating stage presence, Ross has seamlessly blended R&B, Kompa, reggae, and pop into a sound uniquely her own. Her artistry has not only enriched the HMI but has also introduced Haiti’s cultural rhythms to audiences around the world.
