AYETIAN is elevating dancehall through Caribbean unity. Born and raised in Jamaica, Ayetian flaunts the Haitian roots that inspired his name, and pays tribute to Trinidad on his recent EP Trini Pack.

His style is lyrical, and his first success in music came from viral freestyles while he was in high school, with a variety of flows and cadences that you can never pin down. Recent singles like “Tip” and “Balance” with DJ Mac have swept the islands, setting up Ayetian for a global breakthrough.

Listen: Ayetian is the cover artist of Audiomack's official Verified: Dancehall playlist.
