A Platform for Ethnically and Culturally Inspired Music
ABOUT
Two musical forces of Caribbean descent join musical roots to form the dynamic duo that is Jaxx & G! The Toronto-based indomitable force consists of Stefan Bindoo (vocalist, songwriter, lyricist) and Gervais De Souza (guitarist, songwriter), 'musical mates', who were both brought up in West Indian households where music was an integral part of daily life.

The duo's debut single 'SMILE', produced by Dennis De Souza Jr., on the Rier Music imprint, showcases their unique island, global pop sound fused with uplifting lyrics and positive vibrations, with lots more to come!

JAXX

The Canadian-born singer of Trinidadian heritage's musical realm touches a variety of genres including R&B, Pop, Reggae, and Soca. A dynamic, energetic performer, he has graced stages across North America and the Caribbean. With this new iteration, Jaxx looks forward to taking the group's sound, message, and vision around the globe.

G

As the man with the ‘slick licks’, G’s southern hemisphere roots begin in Guyana via Trinidad and Barbados, touching down in Toronto where he was born!

The grandson of a well-known West Indian jazz pianist, Dennis De Souza, he started playing guitar at age 13 and has ‘literally’ not put it down since! His musical influences are immense, including Phil Collins, The Police, Earth, Wind & Fire, Nile Rodgers, and his all-time favorite artist, Bob Marley.

Along the way, Gervais has become an in-demand guitarist for various island pop, calypso, and soca music stars such as David Rudder, Mighty Sparrow, and Alison Hinds.

Another one of his passions is playing the Djembe, which he has incorporated into his practice as a Child and Youth mentor, providing music therapy to a younger generation suffering from mental health complexities.
