T… Read Full Bio ↴T-Vice is a Haitian Compas music band that is based in Miami, Florida.
The musical group was formed in 1991 by brothers Roberto and Reynaldo Martino, sons of renowned Haitian guitarist Robert Martino of the classic Top Vice band, T-Vice's predecessor. Longtime friends James Cardozo and Gerald Kebreau were soon part of the group thus completing the quartet as they were originally known to be. Roberto and Reynaldo had thought of the idea of creating their own group through the musical influence and inspiration they received from Top Vice in which their father was the lead guitarist.
T-Vice revolutionized the genre of konpa with the energetic party vibe they brought to the scene. Musical influences from reggae, merengue, flamenco and modern synthesizing from rock 'n' roll have made the group one of the most innovative musicians of the genre. The group's performances have led them to become the current face behind the music in large part due to their international touring. The band has traveled to European, and Caribbean countries, as well as U.S states for concerts. The band's debut album "Konpa Kontak" was a hit among konpa listeners. In October 2006, T-Vice released a new album titled Kité'm Viv.
T-Vice has collaborated with other Haitian konpa bands such as Carimi and their rival Djakout Mizik. The group appeared in the hit single Party By The Sea along with rapper Wyclef Jean and Jamaican reggae artist Buju Banton.
Many sought to attribute the band's success to their relationship with patriarch Robert Martino, as well as the steadfast managerial genus of the Martino brothers' mother Jessie Al-Khal and their uncle Pierrot Al-Khal. T-Vice were victimized in the late 90s by a vicious rumor which was later proven to have been fabricated. It was widely believed that a jealous rival had begun the falsehood. T-Vice has also been involved in a noticeably ongoing "feud" with successful Konpa band Djakout Mizik. However, regardless of their supposed ongoing feud, members of both group share an amically professional friendship.
Over the years, T-Vice has become one of the most successful konpa bands of the modern era.

Woh oh oh oh,

Story of my life
Relasyon sa a difisil
Depi m piti m'ap mouri pou li
Li pran m pou pi bon zanmi l
Pa ka eksplike w jan m santi m
Lè l'ap rakonte m menm eksperyans lanmou l
Kè m ape rache, m'anvi rele
Mwen damou w baby
Oh m'damou m'damou

M'pa konn kijan pou m di w, m'pa konn sa pou m di w
Mwen damou w baby
Oh mwen damou w, m'damou w
Mwen damou w baby
Mwen bouke viv nan manti
M'ap pran yon chans pou mwen di l
Tout sa m gen nan kè m pou li
Jan m'renmen l a la foli
Sitiyasyon sa a trè frajil
Si l pa renmenm tou mwen ka pèdi l
Men lè a rive pou mwen ka di l
Mwen damou w baby
Tout moun otou n reyalize jan m fou pou ou
Mwen damou w baby
Cheri louvri je w, louvri kè w pou mwen antre

Pou mwen montre w jan mwen renmen w, jan mwen damou w
Mwen damou w baby
Mwen pa konnen kijan istwa nou ap fini (non)
Sèl sa m konnen se avè w mwen vle bati 'on avni

The song Mwen damou by T-Vice talks about the struggles of a difficult relationship. The singer confesses that since he was young, he could die for his partner, who became his best friend, and with whom he shared all his secrets. He explains that he cannot explain what he feels when his significant other shares their love experiences, and how his heart aches, wanting to call out his love for them. He cannot hide his feelings and says he is in love with his partner, but he doesn't know how to express it. He is tired of living a lie and decides to take the risk of telling them all the love he has in his heart. The chorus repeats that he loves his partner and is crazy about them.
The lyrics show a person's vulnerability and the power of love. There is a struggle to find the right words and to express emotions authentically. The singer makes it clear that being in love can be a challenge, especially when both parties are not on the same page. Love requires taking risks and being fearless, and sometimes it requires opening your heart and saying what you truly feel.
