The son of Haitian emigrants, Jowee, was raised in Montreal and learnt to play the saxophone whilst attending his father’s (who was a minister) church later heading to Boston’s prestigious Berklee College of Music and onto New York to begin his musical journey in earnest.

Jowee Omicil is a jazz artist unlike any you've heard before. He brings a novel and distinctly Afro-Haitian perspective to his music.
