#1 I was born on a Monday in November 1966, in Marie Claire Beauvais, France, to Axel Jean-Pierre and Marie-Claire. I never took my father’s last name, and I ended up with my mother’s maiden name.

#2 I was a Peenie Greet, or skinny twig, as my brother Maurice referred to me. I was painfully skinny, and I hated my protruding wings on my back. I was never given a middle name, but I embraced my nickname, Gachou.

#3 The island of Haiti was full of bright colors, and the people there were always happy and grateful to be alive. They radiated the same colors that were everywhere in their culture.

#4 I remember the music of my childhood, which was the soundtrack of my youth. It was the music of Creole, a language that was born out of a combination of European French and African languages.
