Binksdrick: a featured name, one record, and almost nothing else

Published October 20, 2026

Binksdrick is a name from Guadeloupe bouyon that rests, in the public archive, on a single credit line: he appears among the featured artists on “Leave Me Alone”, the collective record by 1T1 released on 6 September 2024, alongside Dinho, Lejuh and Theomaa. This profile documents that verified credit, follows the record from the platforms into Dominican carnival mixes, places the name inside the 1T1 working circle, and states plainly what the public record does not hold: no solo record, no biography and no full name published to date.

Who Binksdrick is: a name, a credit, almost no archive

Binksdrick is an artist whose name appears in the credits of Guadeloupe bouyon in the mid 2020s. That is nearly everything the public archive says about him, and this profile starts by saying so rather than hiding it. Where the headline names of his scene, such as 1T1 or Lejuh, have artist pages, platform biographies and dated discographies, Binksdrick left, in the verified sources consulted for this profile, a single trace: a featured credit on one collective record.

That scarcity is not a biographical detail, it is information about the scene itself. Modern bouyon gwada works in circles: a central producer, here 1T1, a composer and producer from Guadeloupe, gathers singers, DJs and guest voices around him, record after record. Some of those names become headline artists. Others remain credit names, known to the DJs who play the record and to the public who sing it, without ever passing through a biography. Binksdrick belongs, in the current state of the public record, to that second category.

This profile therefore does not fill the gap with invention. No full name is printed here, because none has been published in a verified source. No precise origin, no date of birth and no consolidated listening figure is offered, for the same reason. What follows contains only facts tied to a source: the official credit of the record, the dates of the published 1T1 discography on Qobuz, the tracklists of DJ mixes that played the song, and the documented context of the scene in which this name circulates.

Why publish a profile of an artist this poorly documented? Because the record he is credited on is well documented, and because it travelled. “Leave Me Alone” ranks among the most searched tracks of both 1T1 and Lejuh on Shazam, and it turned up in bouyon mixes of the carnival season, including a mix recorded after Mas Domnik, the carnival of Dominica, the island where bouyon was born at the end of the 1980s with WCK. A featured name that crosses the sea to Roseau deserves a page that says exactly what is known about him, no more and no less.

“Leave Me Alone”: the collective record of 6 September 2024

The central fact of this profile is a credit, and it can be quoted exactly. The published discography of 1T1 on Qobuz dates “Leave Me Alone” to 6 September 2024 and credits it to 1T1 with Dinho, Lejuh, Theomaa and Binksdrick. Five names on one record: the lead artist, three regular collaborators from his circle, and Binksdrick, the only one of the five whose name appears nowhere else in the published discography of the group. On Shazam, the record is listed as “Leave Me Alone (feat. Dinho, Lejuh, Theomaa & Binksdrick)”, and it sits among the highlighted tracks of 1T1, alongside “Bouwéy”, “Best Friend” and “Ouba”.

The format of the record says a lot about the method of the scene. Guadeloupe bouyon of the 2020s advances through collective records: the same circle reforms from one song to the next, with changing combinations. “Piney” brought together 1T1, Theomaa and Lejuh in June 2023. “Mas La Rivé”, in January 2024, lined up nine names. “Leave Me Alone” repeats the formula in September 2024, with a tighter team around 1T1. For a guest voice, entering that rotation means entering the catalogue that matters: the catalogue of the producer whom the Creole press names, with Lejuh and Theomaa, among the leading bouyon artists of Guadeloupe.

Dating honesty is required here, because the sources do not all say the same thing. A video roundup site, RadioVideo.Music, listed “Leave Me Alone” with the year 2023 in an article about “Bouwey”. The platform discography gives a precise date instead: 6 September 2024. This site follows the platform discography, as it did in its 1T1 profile, and flags the disagreement instead of masking it. That is the kind of detail a profile copied from another site never takes the trouble to check, and it is precisely why this profile mentions it.

What the credit does not say must also be written. It does not say which part of the record Binksdrick sings or raps, it does not say whether he took part in the writing, and it does not say whether other records with the same team exist outside the platforms. None of those details has been published in the sources consulted, and none is therefore claimed here. The featured credit is the fact. Everything else, for now, belongs to the people who were in the studio.

The 1T1 circle: how a featured name enters the catalogue

To understand the place of Binksdrick, you have to understand the circle in which his name appears. 1T1 is a bouyon composer, producer and singer from Guadeloupe. His platform biography, published by Music Story on Qobuz, describes him as a French speaking singer from the French West Indies, specialising in bouyon, soca and dancehall. Around him orbits a stable group of collaborators: Theomaa, his most regular partner, Lejuh, whom he also produces as a solo artist, Aknose, Dinho, and a series of DJs and guest voices who rotate from record to record.

The dates of the published discography let you watch the circle work. On 2 June 2023, “Piney” brought together 1T1, Theomaa and Lejuh. On 28 September 2023, “Moustik” paired 1T1 and Aknose. On 1 December 2023, “Pied au Plancher” lined up 1T1, Tiitii NBA and Lejuh. On 12 January 2024, “Mas La Rivé” gathered nine names, the widest documented gathering of the circle. On 6 September 2024, “Leave Me Alone” added Binksdrick to the guest list. On 13 December 2024, the “CHORD” EP arrived, with “Bouwéy”, the record that became the signature of 1T1. Seen this way, the credit of Binksdrick is no accident: it lands in the middle of the densest, most collective period of the catalogue.

The Creole press confirms the weight of this circle. In an interview published by Caraib Creole News on the state of bouyon in Guadeloupe, the artists named as the most emblematic of the moment on the island are Lejuh, 1T1, Theomaa, Piscine OSP, Aknose and Shanika. Three of the five names on “Leave Me Alone” appear in that list. Binksdrick does not, and this profile does not pretend otherwise: but a feature alongside three of the names the local press gives as the head of the scene is, for an artist with no public biography, the form of recognition the milieu actually delivers, long before articles.

This circle also has to be placed in the long history of the genre. Bouyon was born in Dominica at the end of the 1980s. Guadeloupe adopted it, hardened it and regionalised it into what is called bouyon gwada, more electronic and rawer, sung in Guadeloupean Creole. The generation of 1T1 works in that branch: short, fast records, built for parties and social networks, produced by studio composers rather than live bands. The name of Binksdrick belongs to that branch and that generation, even if the public record does not yet allow more to be said about the man behind the name.

The journey of the record: from the platforms to the carnival mixes

A platform credit does not say whether a record lived. For “Leave Me Alone”, the answer is in the tracklists of DJs, and it is documented. The “Bouyon Mix 2025 Pt 2” by Blaqrose Supreme, recorded after a stay in Dominica for Mas Domnik, places “Leave Me Alone” at 5 minutes 58, right after “Bouwey” by 1t1 and before Dominican records by Trilla-G, Reo and Litleboy. A Guadeloupe record sequenced, inside a Dominican carnival mix, with the references of Roseau: that is concrete proof the song crossed the sea in the right direction, from the scene that regionalised bouyon back to the island that invented it.

Other lists confirm the rotation. The selection of DJ Willy Wonka places “Leave Me Alone” in the middle of a carnival season programme dominated by Signal Band, Ridge, Reo, Asa Bantan and Trilla-G. The Soca Podcast also lists it in its bouyon and soca tracklists. In all three cases, the record is credited with the five names, including Binksdrick: the name of the guest travels with the song, read by DJs and copied into their lists, even when no artist page exists to carry it further.

Those lists also deliver a detail the platforms do not show: the spelling of the name is unstable there. Most official credits write “Binksdrick”. At least one circulating mix list writes “Binkdrick”, without the s. That kind of error is ordinary in tracklists copied from mix to mix, but it has a real consequence for a one credit artist: part of his audience searches for a name that does not exist on the platforms. This profile keeps the spelling of the official credits, “Binksdrick”, and flags the faulty variant so that both searches lead to the same record.

On Shazam, finally, “Leave Me Alone” ranks among the most searched tracks of 1T1, and this site record also notes it among those of Lejuh. For a collective record from September 2024, still cited in platform and DJ selections in the following seasons, that is the sign of a lifespan longer than a filler track between two singles. It is inside that durable record, and nowhere else for now, that the name of Binksdrick can be heard.

What this name says about the bouyon gwada scene

The case of Binksdrick illuminates a rule of the current bouyon scene: visibility there is collective before it is individual. The platforms index the records, the DJs index the lists, the press indexes the headline names, and guest voices live in the space between those three registers. An artist can be heard by the whole carnival public, from Pointe-à-Pitre to Roseau, without a single line of biography existing anywhere. That is not an anomaly of the system, it is the system: bouyon gwada was built on studio productions and chained collaborations, where a credit on the right record is often worth more than an artist page.

That credit economy has a downside, which this site documents on all its pages: when the record lasts, the name of the guest depends entirely on the accuracy of the credits being copied. A spelling mistake in a tracklist, a date repeated without checking from one article to the next, and the least documented artist on the record becomes unfindable. The work of this profile is therefore deliberately modest and precise: fix the official spelling of the name, the platform date of the record, the exact composition of the credit, and the verifiable places where the song actually turned.

There is also a lesson in musical geography in this small file. “Leave Me Alone” is a Guadeloupe record, produced by the circle of 1T1, found again in Dominican carnival mixes. Bouyon was born in Dominica, Guadeloupe transformed it, and its records now travel back towards Roseau through DJs and platforms. The name of a Guadeloupe guest read in a Dominican list tells, on its own, the two way circulation that has kept the genre alive for thirty years. Our history of bouyon page tells that journey in full.

What this profile does not yet know

Finally, this profile states its limits, because they are part of the record. No solo record by Binksdrick was found in the verified sources consulted: if such a record exists outside the major platforms, it is not documented here rather than invented. No full name, no home town and no date of birth has been published in those sources. No official account of the artist was confirmed during the research, so this page links to no social profile: accounts carrying similar names were not attached to the artist without proof.

Two details are still missing from the credit itself. The exact share of Binksdrick in “Leave Me Alone”, voice, writing or both, is not detailed in the public credits consulted. And the date of the record is the subject of the disagreement flagged above, between a roundup article giving 2023 and the platform discography giving 6 September 2024, which this site keeps. If the label of 1T1, AB BOYZ MUSIC, or the artist publishes those elements, this profile will be completed, dated and corrected like every page on this site.

In the meantime, listening comes down to one record, and this profile owns that: “Leave Me Alone”, by 1T1 with Dinho, Lejuh, Theomaa and Binksdrick, to be found in our bouyon playlist alongside the other records of the circle. It is little, and that is exactly why it is written this way: a real name, a real credit, a real journey through the mixes, and nothing that cannot be checked.

Frequently asked questions

Who is Binksdrick?

Binksdrick is a Guadeloupe bouyon artist whose only verified credit in the public sources consulted is a featured appearance on “Leave Me Alone” by 1T1, released on 6 September 2024, alongside Dinho, Lejuh and Theomaa. No biography, no full name and no solo record by the artist has been published in those sources.

Which record is Binksdrick credited on?

On “Leave Me Alone”, the collective record by 1T1. The published discography of 1T1 on Qobuz credits it to 1T1 with Dinho, Lejuh, Theomaa and Binksdrick, and Shazam lists it among the highlighted tracks of 1T1, alongside “Bouwéy” and “Best Friend”.

When was “Leave Me Alone” released?

On 6 September 2024, according to the platform discography of 1T1 on Qobuz, which this site keeps. A video roundup article gave the year 2023 for this record: this profile flags the disagreement instead of choosing in silence, and follows the platform date, consistent with the 1T1 profile on this site.

Does Binksdrick have a solo record?

No solo record by Binksdrick was found in the verified sources consulted for this profile: no artist page, no single under his own name, no platform biography. That is an answer copied profiles never give, because it requires saying what the public record does not contain. If a solo record appears, this profile will be updated.

Why do some tracklists write “Binkdrick”?

Because mix tracklists are copied from DJ to DJ, and at least one circulating list lost the s of the name. The spelling in the official credits, on Qobuz and Shazam, is “Binksdrick”. For a one credit artist, that mistake matters: it makes the name unfindable in platform searches.

Where can I hear Binksdrick and discover his circle?

Start with “Leave Me Alone” in our bouyon playlist, then read the profiles of 1T1 and Lejuh on this site: they are the two names from the same record whose full catalogues let you place the credit of Binksdrick inside the Guadeloupe bouyon scene.
