Hussey: a voice all over the new bouyon, a name only half resolved
Published October 20, 2026
Hussey is a singer in Dominica new wave of bouyon, known so far only as a guest voice. His name appears as a feature on eight tracks in the Trixzmigos catalog, including “What She Like”, the act biggest record and a Collaboration of the Year finalist at the Dominica Music Awards 2025. The same surname also circulates in Signal Band songwriting credits, in the full form Miguel Hussey. This profile documents both trails, track by track and credit by credit, and states plainly what no source yet allows anyone to claim: whether they are one and the same person.
A guest voice, not yet a headline name
As of this profile, Hussey has no album under his own name, no solo artist page in the catalogs consulted, and no published biography. Yet his voice is one of the most heard in recent Dominican bouyon. Every verified appearance takes the same form: “feat. Hussey”, as a guest on tracks by Trixzmigos, a name the platforms also spell Trixz Migos or TrixZ Migos depending on the listing. That is the paradox of this profile: an artist you can hear on eight documented tracks, whose audience knows neither an official face, nor a full name, nor a backstory.
There is nothing unusual about that in today bouyon. The new Dominican generation works through short, fast collaborations: a singer passes through a colleague track, the track travels in carnival DJ mixes, then everyone moves on to the next project. The platform credits, though, keep the trace. That is where, and almost only where, Hussey publicly exists: in the feature lines of the Trixzmigos catalog, in a national award finalist list, and in the tracklists of the mixes that carry bouyon from Toronto to Miami.
This profile is therefore built as a credits dossier, the way this site documents studio producers. Every claim points to a source the reader can open: the Trixzmigos artist page on Shazam, the song pages, the official Dominica Music Awards finalist list published by Black Island Girl Multimedia, the winners list published by Soca News, and the songwriting credits recorded by Shazam and by Sokah2Soca. Where the sources stop, this profile stops too, and says so.
One method note before the tracks. The name Hussey appears in two forms in the recent bouyon archive: Hussey, the Trixzmigos guest singer, and Miguel Hussey, a credited writer on tracks by Signal Band and Shelly. Both forms circulate in the same small scene, in the same period. No source consulted connects them explicitly. This profile therefore presents them separately, in two distinct sections, before asking the question every attentive reader will ask.
“What She Like”: the record that made Hussey exist
The central record of the dossier is “What She Like”, by Trixzmigos featuring Hussey. According to the song page on Shazam, the single was released on January 10, 2025 on the label L2TG RECORDS. The Trixzmigos artist page on the same platform lists it as the most streamed song in the catalog and the most Shazamed of all time, with about 32,900 Shazam identifications counted at the time of research. For an act whose catalog reaches back at least to June 2023, with the single “Nasty 2” on LTG RECORDS, “What She Like” is the record that scaled regionally.
The video confirms the scale of the phenomenon. The clip published on YouTube as “Trixz Migos & Hussey - What She Like (Bouyon 2025)” showed 1.7 million views in the platform listing consulted for this profile. On the scale of Dominican bouyon, where views are usually counted in tens of thousands, that figure puts the record in the class of hits that leave the island. And Hussey name is in the video title, not only in the credits: for hundreds of thousands of listeners, that feature is where the name was first read.
The record circulation among DJs completes the picture. “What She Like” appears in published tracklists of mixes that matter: DJ BuzzB Toronto Carnival 2025 and Miami Carnival 2025 mixes, DJ Close Soca Passport (Island Hoppin 2025) and Bouyon Passport 2026, and the I AM SONICBOOM Miami Carnival mix, which bills it as “TRIXX MIGOS & HUSSEY - WHAT SHE LIKE BOUYON”. A feature track that survives two carnival seasons and crosses the Toronto and Miami diasporas is no longer a passing guest spot: it is a signature.
Note finally what the record says about Hussey place in the setup. On “What She Like”, as on the act other tracks, Hussey is not a backing singer passing through: the feature is billed in the single title, in the video title and, as we will see, all the way into the national nomination that followed. The real hierarchy of bouyon is not always read in headline names. It is read in the credits that DJs, platforms and juries retain, and those retain Hussey.
Eight tracks with Trixzmigos: the permanent guest method
“What She Like” is not an isolated accident. The Trixzmigos artist page on Shazam lets us rebuild the full run of collaborations with Hussey, and it draws a sustained working relationship spread across three release years. First milestone recorded: “The Christmas Story”, a 2024 single already featuring Hussey. Then 2025 concentrates most of the run: “What She Like” in January, then “Dark Love”, “Rum”, where Hussey shares the feature with Poyzin, “Doh Mix Me”, where he shares it with Shyanne, and “Shake Dat”. The act most streamed list adds “1View”, again featuring Hussey. Finally, the most recent release in the catalog at the time of research, the 2026 single “Long Time”, still credits Hussey.
Eight documented tracks, then, between 2024 and 2026, not counting any appearances the platforms do not reference. The rhythm is that of a house collaborator rather than a passing guest: Trixzmigos builds its singles around a small circle of voices, where you also meet DJ Taffy on “Bikini”, Shyanne on “Location” and “Doh Mix Me”, or Loren on “Toxic Love”. In that circle, Hussey is the name that returns most often, by far. No other feature in the catalog matches his regularity.
That method sheds light on how the new Dominican bouyon works. The groups and collectives of the current wave release short singles, built for fetes, mixes and social feeds, rather than albums. The loyalty of a guest voice then becomes a sound identity marker: when Hussey sings on a Trixzmigos track, the regular listener recognises a formula. It is exactly the role once played by the resident singers of live bands, transposed to the streaming single era.
The limit of the dossier is clear, though: none of these eight appearances comes with a published writing credit in Hussey name in the pages consulted, and no solo track appears under his name alone. Hussey is therefore, on the current record, a featured performer, full stop. Any claim about a possible writing role points to the other dossier, that of Miguel Hussey, treated below with its own sources.
The Dominica Music Awards: finalist, not winner, and that is already a fact
Institutional recognition arrived with the Dominica Music Awards 2025, the national ceremony organised by Creole Heartbeat, whose second edition was held on Saturday, January 3, 2026 at the InterContinental Dominica Cabrits Resort & Spa in Portsmouth. The official finalist list, published by Black Island Girl Multimedia, places “What She Like” by TrixZ Migos & Hussey among the six Collaboration of the Year finalists, alongside “FYM” by Mr Ridge & Problem Child, “IKY” by Reo, Kenny G & Faithii, “Stronger” by Shelly, Nice & Signal Band, “RAGS” by Trilla-G, Skinny Fabulous & Shelly, and “Someone Else” by Quan, Litle Boy & Trilla-G. Trixz Migos was also a finalist for Rising Artist or Band of the Year.
The context gives the nomination its weight. The awards covered 24 categories, for work released between March 5, 2024 and June 30, 2025, under a system combining 60 percent public vote and 40 percent judges scores. Being a finalist, in that framework, means passing both public and professional validation, in the very category that rewards the art of collaboration, the heart of Hussey path. The category was strong: it pitted the track against established names of the scene, from Mr Ridge to Trilla-G.
The winners list, published by Soca News, must be reported with the same exactness: Collaboration of the Year went to “Someone Else” by Litle Boy, Quan & Trilla-G. “What She Like” did not win, and this profile does not claim it did. The night was dominated by Signal Band, which left with six awards including Band of the Year, Album of the Year for “The Electric Room” and Music Video of the Year for “Bye to the Old Me”. For Hussey, the nomination remains the landmark: it is the first, and so far the only, mention of his name in an official Dominican music list.
There is a documented irony in that finalist list, and it sets up the next section. Among the rivals of “What She Like” stood “Stronger”, the Shelly, Nice & Signal Band collaboration. Yet the writing credits of “Stronger” include a certain Miguel Hussey. Two tracks in the same category final, two Husseys in the same Portsmouth evening: the coincidence is in the public documents, and that is all this profile will say about it before opening the second dossier.
Miguel Hussey: the credited writer in Signal Band shadow
The second dossier starts with a credit anyone can verify in two clicks. The Shazam page for Signal Band “Stronger (feat. Shelly & Nice) [Remix]”, a single released on January 22, 2024 by Signal Band Inc., lists two songwriters in its composition credits: Sheldon Miguel Alfred, the full name of singer Shelly, and Miguel Hussey. The track is no obscure catalog filler: “Stronger”, in its collaboration version with Shelly and Nice, was a Collaboration of the Year finalist at the same Dominica Music Awards 2025, and the Signal Band catalog holds it as one of the reference tracks of the period.
The second credit is bigger still. According to the production notes published by Sokah2Soca and carried by Island Vybe, “Bye to de Old Me”, performed by Shelly, Nice and Pudaz, was written by Sheldon Alfred, Miguel Hussey and Udi Prince, composed and engineered by Dernel “Dernz” Green, with additional riddim programming by Fr3EzE. The track is one of the anthems of recent bouyon: Sokah2Soca presented it as early as November 2025 as the record set to carry the genre into Trinidad Carnival 2026, stressing that bouyon rarely wins favour on Trinidadian radio.
The track coronation confirms its rank. At the Dominica Music Awards of January 3, 2026, “Bye to the Old Me” won Music Video of the Year, on the night of Signal Band six awards, where Shelly was also named Songwriter of the Year. Miguel Hussey name does not appear in the reports of the evening, and that is precisely the phenomenon this site documents among writers and producers: the writing credit exists in the song pages, it travels with the track, but it stays invisible in the storytelling. A co-writer of a country video of the year can remain a name without a biography.
What do we know about Miguel Hussey beyond these two credits? In the sources consulted for this profile, nothing published: no interview, no artist page, no other writing credit referenced under that full name. It would therefore be wrong to paint a portrait of him. What the documents establish is narrower and stronger: between January 2024 and the 2025 season, a writer named Miguel Hussey co-wrote two major tracks in the Signal Band and Shelly repertoire, one of which was crowned at the national awards. That is a catalog fact, verifiable page by page.
Two Husseys or one? The question the sources leave open
Now to the question the whole dossier raises. Are the guest singer Hussey and the writer Miguel Hussey the same person? The points of contact exist, and they are factual: the same rare surname in a very small scene, the same island, the same 2024 to 2026 period, and one awards evening where the two names cross in the same category. A singer who also writes for others would be nothing unusual in bouyon, where the performers of the Signal Band and Trixzmigos generations know each other and work within a narrow perimeter.
The points of caution are just as factual. No source consulted, no platform page, no article, no official list, presents Hussey as a short form of Miguel Hussey, and no credit links the two names. On paper, the two dossiers also move in distinct collaboration circles: Trixzmigos and its label L2TG RECORDS on one side, Signal Band and Signal Band Inc. on the other. Merging the two identities without proof would mean attributing writing royalties to a singer that may belong to another man, or the reverse. In a genre where credit is precisely the issue, this site will not do it.
This profile position is therefore explicit: both trails are published side by side, each with its sources, and the identity stays an open question, flagged as such. It is also, concretely, the question no rival profile asks, because it requires reading writing credits as closely as single titles. If direct confirmation arrives, through a unified credit, an official page or the men themselves, this profile will be merged or corrected, with the correction date, like every page on this site.
In the meantime, the listener can treat the two dossiers as two doors into the same moment of Dominican bouyon: on one side the bouyon of singles and features, fast and built for mixes, on the other the bouyon of bands and writers, that of Signal Band. That both doors carry the same family name is, at minimum, a fact of the Roseau scene in the mid 2020s.
What this profile does not yet know, and where to start listening
Let us restate the limits, because they are part of the portrait. The full name of the singer Hussey is not published in the sources consulted, and it is therefore not printed here. No verified official account, no solo artist page and no interview were confirmed during the research: this page therefore links to no social profile, and the official links field of the schema stays empty. No birth date, no home village or parish, no training path is documented, and none is invented to fill the blank.
What is documented is nevertheless enough to place the artist. Eight features across the Trixzmigos catalog between 2024 and 2026, the act most streamed record, a 1.7 million view video, a continuous presence in diaspora carnival mixes, and a national nomination in the collaboration category: for a name with no solo headline, that is already a readable path, and it is fully traceable in public credits.
To listen, start with “What She Like”, then climb the feature run: “1View”, “Rum”, “Doh Mix Me”, “Shake Dat”, “Dark Love”, “The Christmas Story” and “Long Time”. Continue with the other camp, that of the other credit: “Stronger” and “Bye to de Old Me” by Signal Band and Shelly. Our bouyon playlist mixes those two worlds, feature singles and band records, and our bouyon soca page sets the current wave inside the history of the genre. If the two Husseys turn out to be one, the listening already draws a single landscape.

Frequently asked questions
Who is Hussey?
Hussey is a singer in Dominica new wave of bouyon, documented only as a guest voice. He features on eight tracks in the Trixzmigos catalog between 2024 and 2026, including “What She Like”, released on January 10, 2025 on L2TG RECORDS, the act most streamed record according to Shazam. No official biography, no solo track and no full name are published in the sources consulted.
What is Hussey biggest record?
“What She Like”, by Trixzmigos featuring Hussey. According to Shazam, it is the most streamed and most identified track in the Trixzmigos catalog, with about 32,900 identifications. Its YouTube video showed 1.7 million views at the time of research, and the track appears in carnival mixes by DJ BuzzB, DJ Close and I AM SONICBOOM, from Toronto to Miami.
Are Hussey and Miguel Hussey the same person?
That is the open question of this profile, and no source settles it. Miguel Hussey is credited as a songwriter, with Sheldon Alfred, on Signal Band “Stronger” (2024), and as a co-writer, with Sheldon Alfred and Udi Prince, of “Bye to de Old Me” by Shelly, Nice and Pudaz. The singer Hussey, meanwhile, appears only on Trixzmigos tracks. Same surname, same island, same period, but no document links the two names: this site presents them separately rather than merging them.
Did Hussey win at the Dominica Music Awards?
No, but his track was a finalist. At the Dominica Music Awards 2025, organised by Creole Heartbeat and held on January 3, 2026 at the InterContinental Dominica, “What She Like” by TrixZ Migos & Hussey stood among the six Collaboration of the Year finalists. The award went to “Someone Else” by Quan, Litle Boy & Trilla-G, according to the winners list published by Soca News.
On which tracks can Hussey be heard?
On the Trixzmigos singles: “The Christmas Story” (2024), “What She Like”, “Dark Love”, “Rum” with Poyzin, “Doh Mix Me” with Shyanne, “Shake Dat” and “1View” (2025), then “Long Time” (2026), the most recent catalog release at the time of research. All of them credit him as a feature, none presents him as the lead artist.
Where can I follow Hussey and hear what comes next?
No official account of the singer could be verified during the research for this profile, which therefore links to no social profile. The safe route is the Trixzmigos catalog on the platforms, where his features appear, and our bouyon playlist, which follows the current Dominican wave, from Trixzmigos to Signal Band.
