Letin Severine: four writing credits, no published biography

Published October 20, 2026

Letin Severine is a name you never see on a cover and yet find, with remarkable regularity, in the writing credits of Guadeloupe bouyon. Between 2013 and 2025, four published records credit her as composer or songwriter: “Vole Nonm a Moun” and “Sa ki bon (Bouyon King)” for Yellow Gaza, “PLAN A 3” for Yellow Gaza and Yumei, and “LEVRETTE” for Yellow Gaza Girls. Every time, her name appears alongside that of Letin Sylia, and never as a performer. No biography, no interview and no solo record were found during this research. This profile therefore publishes the file as it stands: four checkable credits, read one by one, and the clear limits of what the sources allow anyone to say.

Who Letin Severine is: a writer in the credits, not a performer on the covers

Letin Severine belongs to the least visible part of how a bouyon record is made: the writing. The platform pages consulted name her once as a composer, on “Vole Nonm a Moun” in 2013, and three times as a songwriter, on “Sa ki bon (Bouyon King)” in 2021, on “PLAN A 3” in 2024 and on “LEVRETTE” in 2025, the exact roles varying from page to page. She appears as a performer on none of the four records: the voice and the stage name are those of Yellow Gaza, then of Yellow Gaza Girls. The whole difficulty, and the whole interest of this profile, lies in that gap between a constant presence in the credits and a total absence from published accounts.

Her documented ground is bouyon gwada, the Guadeloupe form of the bouyon born in Dominica. Yellow Gaza, the artist she writes for, is presented by music databases as an artist from Guadeloupe, and three of her four known records with him were released on Vadore Concept or Vadore Concept Groupe, one of the production banners that structure that scene. This profile goes no further: no source consulted gives Letin Severine home town, date of birth or personal path, so none of those things is stated here. To say she writes for the Guadeloupe scene is a fact of credits; to say where she comes from would be invention.

She must also be separated from a famous namesake that search engines offer unprompted. The singer Séverine, winner of Eurovision 1971 for Monaco with “Un banc, un arbre, une rue”, is a different published artist, born Josiane Grizeau in Paris in 1948 according to her artist page. No source consulted links that singer to Letin Severine, whose name appears without an accent in the bouyon credits, always next to that of Letin Sylia. This profile borrows from her neither a date, nor a biography, nor a single record: the two names look alike, the two files do not touch.

2013 and 2021: Vole Nonm a Moun and Sa ki bon (Bouyon King), the first two credits

The earliest credit found is dated March 5, 2013. “Vole Nonm a Moun”, a Yellow Gaza single released under his own banner, is a French language record according to its page, at 157 BPM, running 3 minutes 40 according to the Deezer catalogue. Its published credits name Yellow Gaza as performer and songwriter, and two composers: Letin Sylia and Letin Severine. It is, in the present state of the file, the only time Letin Severine is credited as a composer rather than a songwriter, a detail of platform wording that this profile reports as printed, without drawing conclusions about the real division of work in the studio.

The record had a life beyond its original catalogue. The music played list of a Seani B mix on BBC Radio 1Xtra, presented as a mix of Dominica bouyon and Dennery Segment by selector Klondé, includes Yellow Gaza “Vole Nonm a Moun” among recent soca and bouyon records. That broadcast trace says nothing about Letin Severine herself, but it establishes one useful thing for reading her first credit: the song she co-wrote in 2013 was still circulating, more than a decade later, in international selections devoted to the genre. A modest writing credit can carry a record very far from its first release.

The second credit arrives on December 14, 2021, on Vadore Concept. “Sa ki bon (Bouyon King)”, a Yellow Gaza single of 2 minutes 42, again at 157 BPM, credits Vadore Concept Groupe with composition and two songwriters: Letin Sylia and Letin Severine. The record subtitle, Bouyon King, attaches it to the Bouyon Kings series that runs through the catalogue of this scene, and our bouyon in Guadeloupe page places that production in its territory. Eight years separate the first two known credits of Letin Severine, with no source consulted documenting any public activity between the two dates: this profile notes the interval, it does not fill it.

2024 and 2025: PLAN A 3 and LEVRETTE, writing in the feminine plural

The third credit changes scale in its very title. “PLAN A 3 (feat. Yu Meï) [Femmes Fatales Edition Bouyon]”, a single by Yellow Gaza and Yumei released on September 7, 2024 on Vadore Concept Groupe, in French and at 157 BPM, credits one composer, Meyapin Bordin Allan, and three songwriters: Letin Sylvia, the spelling used there for Letin Sylia, Letin Severine and Titine Emmanuelle. Letin Severine therefore writes this record inside a college of women writers, on an edition explicitly presented as a female one. Our women of bouyon page gathers what this site documents about the place of women in the genre: this 2024 credit holds a precise, dated and checkable place in it, on the writing side rather than the stage side.

The fourth credit is also the most recent in the file. “LEVRETTE”, a single by Yellow Gaza Girls released on October 16, 2025 on Vadore Concept Groupe, rises to 160 BPM. Its page credits Christophe Démocrite as composer, Vador Concept Group as producer, and two songwriters: Letin Severine and Letin Sylvia. The performer is no longer Yellow Gaza alone but Yellow Gaza Girls, the female form of the same universe, already documented on this site in the wake of the Gaza Girls Crew, a neighbouring formation not to be confused with it. Twelve years after “Vole Nonm a Moun”, the name of Letin Severine therefore still appears in the same place: in the writing credits of a fast bouyon record, sung by others.

Taken together, these four credits draw a continuity that few profiles of writers in this scene can document as clearly. The same production house from 2021 onward, the same writing pair on all four records, the same tempo zone, between 157 and 160 BPM, that of records built for dancing. This profile does not turn that continuity into a contract or an exclusivity, which no source mentions. It reads it for what it proves: when Vadore Concept releases a record from the Yellow Gaza universe, the writing returns, record after record, to the same two names, and Letin Severine is one of the two.

Letin Severine and Letin Sylia: a pair in the credits, and nothing more in the sources

The question every reader asks in front of these two names must receive the exact answer of the sources, neither shorter nor longer. Letin Severine and Letin Sylia are credited together on all four verified records in this file: neither one appears without the other in the catalogues consulted. They therefore form, in the strict sense of published credits, a recurring writing pair of the Yellow Gaza universe, active from 2013 to 2025. That is a fact of catalogue, established record by record in the sections above, and it is enough to justify two distinct profiles that refer to each other.

On the other hand, no source consulted says they are sisters, relatives, partners in a publishing company, or joined in a duo that carries a common stage name. The shared Letin element, placed at the head of both names in the credits, is visible to any reader, but a resemblance of name is not proof of kinship, and this site does not publish a family link without a source. This profile therefore keeps the two files strictly separate in their facts, while documenting their proven common point: four joint credits, and no separate credit found to date.

That caution also has a practical reason for the reader. The platforms themselves do not handle these names in a stable way: Letin Sylia becomes Letin Sylvia, in capitals, on the 2024 and 2025 records, while Letin Severine keeps a constant spelling across all four records. A search engine can therefore split one and the same pair into several forms and suggest different people. The file gathered here, with dates, labels and titles to support it, lets a reader follow the thread without mistaking forms of a name for new people.

What this profile does not know, and why these four credits still matter

The limits of the file are many and this profile names them without detour. No source consulted gives the biography of Letin Severine, nor her place of residence, nor her training, nor the start date of her writing activity before 2013. No source consulted documents a record written for any artist other than Yellow Gaza and his offshoots, nor a record performed by her, nor an album, nor an interview, nor a public appearance. No official social or platform account was verified by direct opening as hers, so the schema of this page links to no external account.

These four credits still matter, because they tell a part of bouyon history that covers do not tell. The genre, born in Dominica with bands such as WCK at the end of the 1980s, lives in Guadeloupe on an intense production of fast singles, where performers change project names while writing and production teams stay. To follow Letin Severine from 2013 to 2025 is to follow that permanence: twelve years of bouyon writing under the same pair of names, from “Vole Nonm a Moun” to “LEVRETTE”, by way of a female edition record in 2024.

If Letin Severine, Vadore Concept or Yellow Gaza one day publish a biography, a complete list of her writing, or an official account, this profile will be completed, corrected and dated like every page on this site. In the meantime, listening starts with the four records themselves, in credit order, then with our bouyon playlist and our bouyon gwada page, which give those records the context of the scene that produced them.

Frequently asked questions

Who is Letin Severine?

Letin Severine is a songwriter and composer credited in Guadeloupe bouyon. Her verified public record comes down to four records, always co-written with Letin Sylia and always performed by others: “Vole Nonm a Moun” in 2013 and “Sa ki bon (Bouyon King)” in 2021 for Yellow Gaza, “PLAN A 3” in 2024 for Yellow Gaza and Yumei, and “LEVRETTE” in 2025 for Yellow Gaza Girls. No published biography was found during the research for this profile.

Does Letin Severine sing on the records she writes?

No, according to the published credits consulted. On the four verified records, the performer is Yellow Gaza, Yellow Gaza and Yumei, or Yellow Gaza Girls. Letin Severine appears there only in composition, on “Vole Nonm a Moun”, or in songwriting, on the following three records. No performer credit in her name was found on the platforms consulted.

What records did Letin Severine write?

Four verified records: “Vole Nonm a Moun” by Yellow Gaza, released on March 5, 2013, at 157 BPM; “Sa ki bon (Bouyon King)” by Yellow Gaza, released on December 14, 2021 on Vadore Concept, at 157 BPM; “PLAN A 3 (feat. Yu Meï) [Femmes Fatales Edition Bouyon]” by Yellow Gaza and Yumei, released on September 7, 2024 on Vadore Concept Groupe, at 157 BPM; and “LEVRETTE” by Yellow Gaza Girls, released on October 16, 2025 on Vadore Concept Groupe, at 160 BPM.

Are Letin Severine and Letin Sylia from the same family?

No source consulted says so. The two names are credited together on the four verified records in this file, between 2013 and 2025, and no separate credit for one without the other was found. They therefore form a writing pair documented by the catalogues, but this site publishes no kinship link, official duo or shared company without a source, and no source consulted establishes one.

Is Letin Severine the Eurovision singer Séverine?

No, nothing in the sources consulted supports that connection. The singer Séverine, winner of Eurovision 1971 for Monaco, is a different published artist, born Josiane Grizeau in Paris in 1948 according to her artist page. Letin Severine is a name from the writing credits of Guadeloupe bouyon between 2013 and 2025, without an accent in the pages and always associated with Letin Sylia. This profile keeps the two files strictly separate.

Where can I hear the records written by Letin Severine?

Start with “Vole Nonm a Moun”, the 2013 record that still appeared in the selection of a BBC Radio 1Xtra bouyon mix, then “Sa ki bon (Bouyon King)”, “PLAN A 3” and “LEVRETTE”. Then read our bouyon gwada and bouyon in Guadeloupe pages, and hear our bouyon playlist.
