In his teens, Karlex moved New York City from Haiti, where he played
with different bands with influences as diverse as Rock, Pop and
World. In the 90's, he returned to Haiti where the ambient mysticism,
the people's sufferings, the history (past & present) brought a
radical change in his sounds and inspiration. Karlex reminisced, "I
was reborn. The calling of the drums in the night filled me with a
longing to get back to the true essence of liberty and freedom that
my ancestors fought for. And nothing translated that better for me
than a certain sound reminiscent of the 60's and 70's fused with
actual urban music and Haitian soul."
