Dézod: one guest voice, one verified record, a file stated as it is

Published October 20, 2026

Dézod is a voice name in French Antillean bouyon, and this profile starts with the fact that governs everything else: only one verified credit carries this name. On January 3, 2025, LGC released “Copain Copine”, featuring Dézod, on his LGC Music label, in French and at 160 BPM. The record listing credits LGC and Dézod on background vocals, four writers, Dany David Ledreck, Jean Gardiole, Déreck Ciani and O’neal Chatelot, and Magbeatz on production. No solo record, no biography, no origin and no second feature by Dézod were verified during this research, despite extensive platform searches. This profile therefore publishes that record, its team and its context, takes apart the namesakes that blur the name, and states in plain words everything the file does not hold.

One verified credit: “Copain Copine”, with LGC, in January 2025

The public file on Dézod fits on one listing, and that listing is precise. “Copain Copine (feat. Dézod)”, by LGC, was released on January 3, 2025 on LGC Music. The Shazam page for the record, opened for this research, gives the language, French, the tempo, 160 BPM, the standard pace of current bouyon gwada, and a video tab, the record being carried by a clip. In the performer list, LGC and Dézod are both credited on background vocals. Dézod therefore enters the bouyon archive as a guest voice on an LGC record, not as the lead artist of a catalog of his own.

The title itself announces the format: copain copine, boyfriend girlfriend, pal to pal, the accomplice duet, two voices answering each other. On this site, the LGC page documents the catalog of the initials record by record, from “Voyé’y Bay” in 2023 to “Woody Wood” in December 2025, and “Copain Copine” holds a dated place in it: it is the record that opens the year 2025 for LGC, and the first of the file released on the LGC Music label, the label named after the artist. For Dézod, that context counts double: his only verified credit places him at the center of the most stable team in recent Guadeloupe bouyon, not at the edge of an isolated record with no follow up.

It must also be said what this credit is not. Dézod is not credited as a writer of the record: the writing goes to four other names, detailed in the next section. Dézod is not credited as producer either: production goes to Magbeatz. His documented role is vocal, as guest voice and on backing vocals. In bouyon, where listings often mix performers, writers and producers in one block, that precision is the very matter of credit, and it is what allows anyone to say who did what on “Copain Copine”.

No other verified listing extends that trace. The searches run for this profile on Shazam, on the general web and on streaming and video platforms found no second feature, no solo record and no filled artist page under the name Dézod in this scene. The name may circulate elsewhere, in mixes, posters or social feeds that search engines do not index, but none of that is a published fact, and this profile publishes facts only. One voice, one record, one date: that is little, and it is exactly what the sources support.

The team behind the record: four writers, one producer, a home label

If the Dézod credit is single, the team around it is, by contrast, widely documented, and it places the record in a precise geography. The four writers of “Copain Copine” are Dany David Ledreck, Jean Gardiole, Déreck Ciani and O’neal Chatelot. Two of those names are the pillars of the LGC catalog as this site has documented it: Dany David Ledreck and Jean Gardiole return from record to record in that catalog, alongside other recurring writers such as Julio Polydamas and Kénan Gavarin. Jean Gardiole, in particular, runs through the whole neighbouring scene: he writes for LGC, he sings and writes on “Woody Wood” by D.O.C FIX DEM with Judi Silva and LGC, and he appears among the composers of records in the circle of Lejuh. The Dézod feature therefore plays out inside the most identifiable writing workshop of Guadeloupe bouyon today.

The production of “Copain Copine” is signed by Magbeatz, a name readers of the LGC page already know, since he also produces other records in that catalog. The label, LGC Music, is the label named after the initials, and the record is the first of the LGC file to appear under that banner. In other words, when LGC switches to home label mode, with his full writing team and his regular producer, the guest voice chosen to open that new stage is the voice of Dézod. That is not proof of importance in chart terms, there is no ranking and no public counter attached to the name Dézod, but it is a casting fact, and on a studio scene, casting is a document.

The tempo and the language complete the placing of the record. 160 BPM is the standard regime of bouyon gwada in this period, that of the records of LGC, of DJ Leguste and of their circles, built for carnival mixes and sound systems. The French of the listing, mixed with Creole in the usage of this scene, places the record in French Antillean bouyon, the branch that speaks to audiences in Guadeloupe, Martinique and the diaspora, as opposed to the English language bouyon of Dominica documented elsewhere on this site. Through his single verified record, Dézod belongs to that French speaking branch of the genre, and to no other documented branch.

The name Dézod: a Creole word before it is a stage name

Dézod is not a name invented out of nothing, and the dictionaries consulted for this profile allow that to be said cleanly. In the French based Creoles, the word dezod, the Creole form of the French désordre, disorder, means disorder, chaos, uproar. A Haitian Creole dictionary gives it as disorder, mess and chaos, and a vocabulary table of Marie-Galante Creole, from the island neighbouring Guadeloupe, gives it as vacarme, uproar. The word travels across the French and Creole speaking Caribbean, from Haiti to the French Antilles, with that same core of meaning: noise, disorder, agitation.

What this profile does not say is why the artist carries this name. No interview, no biography and no statement by Dézod or by his circle were found, and the link between the word and the stage name therefore remains a reading, not a fact. It is only fair to note that the word fits the aesthetics of the genre: bouyon is a music of overflow, of party and of organised uproar, and stage names on this scene often draw on the Creole vocabulary of noise and energy. Dézod, as a name, speaks Creole before it speaks catalog.

That thickness of the word also explains the difficulty of the research, which is the subject of the next section: dezod is a common word before it is a proper name. Every search on the name returns the word first, its uses in the titles of other artists, in the Haitian press, in everyday Creole expressions. Finding the artist behind the word means filtering record by record, and it is that filtering which allows this profile to state, without merging anything, that the only verified artist credit under this name, in bouyon, is the one on “Copain Copine”.

The namesakes: three other Dézod this profile does not merge

The first namesake is a title, not an artist. In 2010, the artist Illmino released a single titled “Dézod”, on Sp Ranz Music, in French, at 151 BPM, with a Cajun genre tag on its Shazam page, opened for this research. The credits of that record give Illmino as performer and writer, Robson as composer and Cédric Cardonnet as writer. No credit on that page names the Dézod of “Copain Copine”, the dates are fifteen years apart, and the labels and scenes have nothing documented in common. That “Dézod” is the title of an Illmino record, and it does not enter the file of the artist of this profile.

The second namesake follows the same pattern. In 2020, the artist Serbygp released in turn a single titled “Dezod”, without the accent, on 1793982 Records DK, in English, at 122 BPM, with a hip hop and rap tag, and a single credited writer, Sebastien Pierre. Its page, also opened for this research, holds no link with LGC, with Guadeloupe or with bouyon. Two artists, Illmino and Serbygp, have therefore used the word dezod as a title, ten years apart, and neither of them is the guest artist of LGC. Merging them would mean lending Dézod a Cajun past from 2010 and a rap past from 2020 that are documented for nobody other than their respective authors.

Around those two titles gravitate other uses of the word that are not artists either: dezod as an everyday word in Haitian results, dezod in event names, dezod in the titles of konpa and gouyad compilations. The rule of this site, applied here as everywhere, is simple: a shared name does not merge two people, and a common word does not create a discography. Only a published credit, read on an opened page, attaches a record to an artist. For Dézod, there is only one, and this profile gives it alone, without the fifteen years of namesake noise around it.

What the file does not say, and how to hear the record

The limits of the file are clear and this profile states them without dressing them up. Nobody knows who Dézod is: no legal name, no age, no town, no island of origin has been published by any source consulted. Nobody knows whether Dézod is a solo singer lending his voice, a member of the LGC circle or an artist from another scene passing through that studio. Nobody knows whether other records exist outside the indexed platforms. No verified official account, no listening figure of his own and no press article on Dézod were confirmed during this research. The “Copain Copine” page even carries a Christmas 2025 playlist tag in its display, an aggregator detail unrelated to the record, which is a reminder that these pages are machine documents, to be read with care.

Those limits do not empty the profile of its interest, they define it. Current bouyon gwada works as an economy of credits: voices enter the studios of others, sign a feature, and leave a trace that the platforms keep better than biographies do. Dézod is a pure case of that economy. His trace fits on one credit line, but that line connects him to LGC, to Jean Gardiole, to Dany David Ledreck and to Magbeatz, that is to say to the beating heart of the Guadeloupe scene this site documents page after page. An honest profile of one credit line is worth more than an invented three page biography.

Listening, then, is simple: it starts and, for now, it ends with “Copain Copine”, the LGC record released on January 3, 2025, to be heard inside the flow of its host catalog, between “Manzèl Good” and “Make It Clap”, then in our bouyon playlist and the context of our bouyon Guadeloupe page. If a second credit, a solo record or an official page by Dézod appears, this profile will be completed and dated, like every page on this site. In the meantime, the only fully verified sentence on Dézod is also the first one of this profile: one guest voice, one record, one date, one team.

Frequently asked questions

Who is Dézod?

A voice name in French Antillean bouyon, documented by a single verified credit: the feature on “Copain Copine” by LGC, released on January 3, 2025 on LGC Music. No source consulted gives his legal name, his origin or his biography, and this profile therefore publishes only that credit and its context.

What is the verified Dézod record?

“Copain Copine”, by LGC featuring Dézod, released on January 3, 2025, in French and at 160 BPM. The record listing credits LGC and Dézod on background vocals, four writers, Dany David Ledreck, Jean Gardiole, Déreck Ciani and O’neal Chatelot, and Magbeatz on production. To date, it is the only record attached to Dézod by an opened listing.

Has Dézod released solo records?

No solo record by Dézod was found on the platforms consulted during this research, no album, no EP and no single under his own lead name. If a solo record exists outside the indexed catalogs, it is not publicly documented, and this profile does not assume it.

Is the “Dézod” by Illmino, released in 2010, the same artist?

Nothing says so, and the listings say something else. “Dézod” by Illmino, released on November 29, 2010 on Sp Ranz Music, tagged Cajun, at 151 BPM, credits Illmino as performer and writer, Robson as composer and Cédric Cardonnet as writer. It is a title by Illmino, not a credit by the guest artist of LGC fifteen years later. This profile does not merge the two.

What does the word dézod mean?

In the French based Creoles, dezod is the Creole form of the French désordre, disorder: the dictionaries consulted give it as disorder, chaos and uproar, from Haitian Creole to Marie-Galante Creole. No source says why the artist carries this name, and this profile presents the meaning of the word without turning it into a biography.

Where can I hear Dézod?

On “Copain Copine” by LGC, released on January 3, 2025, placed back inside the catalog of his host on our LGC page, then in our bouyon playlist and on our bouyon Guadeloupe page, which follows the gwada scene where this record was born.
