BRG Hollywood: the first bouyon million views of Sint Maarten

Published October 20, 2026

BRG Hollywood is a bouyon artist from Sint Maarten, whose real name is Jaheim Meyers, and whose track “We Not Going Home”, featuring C4, made him the first music artist from the Dutch side of Sint Maarten to reach one million views on YouTube, a milestone congratulated by the island Prime Minister, Dr Luc Mercelina. In 2026, he stands among the finalists for Bouyon Artist of the Year at the Caribbean Music Awards, alongside Asa Bantan, Reo and Trilla G. This profile follows that verified record: the dated singles on the BankrollGang label, the published credits, and the two honours that put Sint Maarten on the bouyon map.

Who BRG Hollywood is: Jaheim Meyers, from Sint Maarten

BRG Hollywood is the artist name of Jaheim Meyers, a singer from Sint Maarten, the Dutch part of the island of Saint Martin, which it shares with a French part. The island press, The Peoples Tribune SXM, names him in the full form Jaheim “BRG Hollywood” Meyers. The songwriter credits published on his tracks give the fuller form Jaheim Malakai Meyers, notably as a writer of “WTHelly Bouyon”. This profile keeps those published forms, and no others: no date of birth, no precise town and no childhood story are documented in the open sources consulted.

His musical territory is bouyon, and the Sint Maarten press says so explicitly. When The Peoples Tribune announces his Caribbean Music Awards selection, it presents him as a St. Maarten bouyon artist, and when the Prime Minister congratulates his million views, it is as a local recording artist that he salutes him. That precision matters because a platform statistics site describes BRG Hollywood, in a generated text, as a reggae musician based in France: that is wrong on both points according to the verified press record, and this profile corrects it instead of copying it. The confusion may come from the dual cultural nationality of his island, French on one side and Dutch on the other, but the artist is indeed the one from Sint Maarten.

The label that returns on his documented singles is BankrollGang. The song pages published for “WTHelly Bouyon”, “Pocket Rocket” and “We Not Going Home” all carry that signature. Around him, the credits name producers from the scene of Sint Maarten and its region, Xavvoknockin and Xavern Labega on “WTHelly Bouyon”, C4 as co-producer and featured artist on “We Not Going Home”. BRG Hollywood therefore appears as the voice of a small island production team, in a genre, bouyon, whose historic centre is another island, Dominica.

That offset is what makes his story. Bouyon was born in Roseau, Dominica, at the end of the 1980s, and its historic big stages are Dominican, Guadeloupean and Martinican. An artist from Sint Maarten who reaches a million views with a bouyon track and enters a regional final in the bouyon category shows that the genre now has secondary strongholds, with their own artists, their own producers and their own press. This profile tells that conquest, from the facts published in Philipsburg and from the credit rolls of his tracks.

“We Not Going Home”: the million views and the Prime Minister congratulations

The central fact of the BRG Hollywood record is a platform milestone, and it is documented by the government press of his island. The Peoples Tribune SXM reports that the Prime Minister of Sint Maarten, Dr Luc Mercelina, congratulated Jaheim “BRG Hollywood” Meyers on becoming the first music artist from the Dutch side of Sint Maarten to reach one million views on YouTube, with the track “We Not Going Home”, featuring C4. The precision “from the Dutch side” is part of the published fact: the island of Saint Martin holds two territories, and the claimed record concerns Sint Maarten.

The Prime Minister words, quoted by the paper, give the measure of the event for a small island. “Reaching one million views on YouTube is a testament to the power of talent, hard work, and determination”, Dr Mercelina declares, adding that the milestone “places Sint Maarten music and culture before a global audience” and shows that local artists “can compete and excel on the world stage”. He also presents artists as “among our nation greatest ambassadors”. For a bouyon track, a genre long confined to the fetes of a few islands, official recognition of that kind is a marker in itself.

The published data of the track completes the picture. The song page gives “We Not Going Home” as a BankrollGang single, released on 31 October 2025, at 160 BPM, with Jaheim M Meyers as songwriter and C4 as co-producer, in addition to his featured artist role. The million views were therefore reached within a few months, between the late October 2025 release and the June 2026 announcement. This profile reports those elements as published, without adding streaming figures no source gives.

It must also be said what this record does not say. It does not make BRG Hollywood the first artist from the whole island of Saint Martin to reach that threshold: the published wording targets the Dutch side, and this site respects it word for word. It says nothing either about the revenue or the chart positions of the track, which no consulted source documents. What it establishes, cleanly, is a first for Sint Maarten, noted by its government, on a bouyon track sung by an artist of the island with a collaborator from his scene, C4.

The BankrollGang singles: Pocket Rocket, WTHelly Bouyon, Nouveau La, Time 2 Grind

Before the million views, the documented BRG Hollywood catalogue fits in a run of singles released on BankrollGang in 2025. The first dated one is “Pocket Rocket”, a single released on 16 April 2025 according to its song page, at 160 BPM. One month later, on 16 May 2025, came “WTHelly Bouyon”, featuring Gwada G: the title announces the genre in its very name, and its published roll credits Jaheim Malakai Meyers and Brad M Douglas as songwriters, and Xavvoknockin and Xavern Labega as producers, with recording by Knockin Records. The published tempo, 164 BPM, is that of a fast fete bouyon.

Two further tracks complete the run in the published lists. “Nouveau La”, which the statistics site Viberate places at the head of the artist tracks, also circulates in mixes: the Blaqrose Supreme podcast tracklist programmes it as “Nouveau La” featuring Jixels, in the middle of a recent bouyon selection. “Time 2 Grind” stands, with “Pocket Rocket”, in the published tracklist of a Caribbean soca and bouyon podcast, alongside tracks from the regional scene. Those two appearances in DJ selections show the second life of the BRG Hollywood singles: the life of the mixes that carry bouyon from fete to fete.

The same Viberate site also lists “Rising High” and “Freedom Call” among his tracks, and presents “Time 2 Grind” as a track about determination and perseverance. This profile takes those two names with caution: they stand in the artist track list on that site, but no dated song page was opened for them during this research, so they are not carried in the structured data of this page. The recordings kept in schema are the five tracks verified by song pages or converging lists: “We Not Going Home”, “WTHelly Bouyon”, “Pocket Rocket”, “Time 2 Grind” and “Nouveau La”.

The whole draws a short, recent and coherent catalogue: singles from 2025, a single label, fete tempos between 160 and 164 BPM on the documented tracks, and collaborations drawn from his island and his region, C4, Gwada G and Jixels. It is the catalogue of an artist on the rise, not that of a veteran: no album is documented in the sources consulted, and this profile announces none. The rest of the record is played on recognition, with the regional nomination of 2026.

Caribbean Music Awards 2026: Bouyon Artist of the Year finalist

The second honour of the record arrives in June 2026. The Peoples Tribune SXM announces that BRG Hollywood made the final cut of nominees at the Caribbean Music Awards in the Bouyon Artist of the Year category, “placing another St. Maarten name on one of the region recognized music platforms”. The paper specifies that the category sits under the wider Artist of the Year grouping, which recognises artists from the French Caribbean, Bouyon and Latin Caribbean scenes, and that the award recognises an artist who has helped redefine the genre through talent, innovation and influence.

The full finalist list, published by Black Island Girl, sets the level of the race: 1T1, Asa Bantan, BRG Hollywood, Dirty Dawg Pudaz, Mr Ridge, Reo, Shelly and Signall Band, and Trilla G. BRG Hollywood is the only Sint Maarten name in it, among the Dominican heavyweights of the genre, from Asa Bantan, often presented as the Bouyon Boss, to Reo and Trilla G. The same article places BRG Hollywood, Trilla G and 1T1 in “a new wave of performers” pushing the genre into fresh territory and reaching younger audiences.

The Peoples Tribune adds two elements this profile keeps. First, the nomination stands in a wider moment of visibility for Sint Maarten at the Caribbean Music Awards, the island counting several representatives across categories in the 2026 cycle, in bouyon, DJ culture and kompa. Second, at the date of the article, the date and venue of the 2026 ceremony had not yet been officially announced by the organisers. This profile therefore gives neither a winner nor a ceremony date: it documents a finalist place, which is the verified fact, and distinguishes it from a victory no source reports.

For an artist whose first documented dated single goes back to April 2025, a regional final alongside the established names of the genre is a remarkable acceleration, and the order of events explains it: the singles first, the million views next, the nomination in their wake. It is also further proof of the new geography of bouyon: the category that crowns the genre at Caribbean level now counts a finalist from Sint Maarten, formed on the riddims of a production team from his island.

BRG Hollywood in the bouyon landscape: the place of Sint Maarten, and the limits of the record

The bouyon BRG Hollywood plays descends from the sound created in Dominica, and this site recalls it on every profile. Bouyon soca, started in Dominica in 2003 by Dada according to the first-hand testimony of Sean “Smokiller” Francis, a Dominican-born producer, and popularised by Triple Kay, showed how the Dominican fusion travels from island to island. Wrecketeng, whose official spelling comes from DJ Cut himself, while reketeng remains the misspelling of social media, tells the same circulation through producers. BRG Hollywood is a recent episode of that history: the Roseau sound worked, a generation later, by a singer and producers from Philipsburg.

This profile also states its limits. No detailed biography of Jaheim Meyers was found: no documented childhood, training or stage beginnings. No official account was confirmed by opening during this research, so the structured data of this page carries no official link, and the field stays empty rather than filled with a guessed handle. No album, no concert date and no verified streaming figure are documented. The song pages used for dates and credits come from the index of music platforms, their direct opens having been misrouted during research: the facts kept are those that several lists converge to confirm.

Why BRG Hollywood matters, at this documented stage: because he combines two rare facts for a bouyon artist outside Dominica and the French Antilles. A national first on YouTube, saluted by the head of his government. And a finalist place in the category that distinguishes the best bouyon artist of the Caribbean year, in a list dominated by Dominicans. Those two facts, published and verifiable, are enough to open this profile, with no need to invent others.

For listening, start with “We Not Going Home” with C4, the record track, then “WTHelly Bouyon” with Gwada G, the single that carries the genre in its name, and “Pocket Rocket”.
