Letin Sylia: one name, two spellings, four writing credits

Published October 20, 2026

Letin Sylia is one of the two writing names that return, record after record, in the credits of Yellow Gaza bouyon. Four records published between 2013 and 2025 credit her as composer or songwriter, always alongside Letin Severine and never as a performer: “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. One particularity this profile documents instead of smoothing away: her name changes form along the way, Letin Sylia on the first two records, then LETIN SYLVIA, in capitals, on the next two. No biography and no solo record were found. What follows is therefore a file of credits, read spelling by spelling and date by date.

Who Letin Sylia is: one half of a bouyon gwada writing pair

Letin Sylia works, in everything the sources allow anyone to see, on the writing side of bouyon gwada, the Guadeloupe form of the bouyon born in Dominica. The platform pages consulted name her as a composer on “Vole Nonm a Moun” in 2013, then as a songwriter on “Sa ki bon (Bouyon King)” in 2021, on “PLAN A 3” in 2024 and on “LEVRETTE” in 2025. She is credited as a performer on none of these records: that role belongs to Yellow Gaza, an artist presented by music databases as Guadeloupean, then to Yellow Gaza Girls. Her name therefore lives exactly where audiences look least, in the credits line, and that is where this profile goes to find it.

Three of the four known records were released on Vadore Concept or Vadore Concept Groupe, a recurring production banner of this scene, and the fourth, the oldest, was released under the Yellow Gaza name itself. That stability of banner, of pair and of tempo, between 157 and 160 BPM across the four pages, makes Letin Sylia a fixed point in a universe that often changes performer names. No source consulted, on the other hand, gives her home town, her date of birth, her training or her personal path: this profile states what the credits establish, her role as a writer in the Guadeloupe scene, and stops before any invented biography.

One stage namesake must be set aside clearly, because searches offer it. A singer performing under the name Sylia, with pages in the name of Sylia Mizik, released an official clip for the song “Rejoins-moi”, filmed in Guadeloupe between Anse-Bertrand and Sainte-Anne according to its description. No source consulted links that performer to the writing credit Letin Sylia, which appears only on bouyon records of the Yellow Gaza universe, in writing and never in performance. This profile therefore transfers neither her records, nor her images, nor her path to Letin Sylia: two close names, two separate files, and only one of them documented here.

The Letin Sylia form: Vole Nonm a Moun in 2013 and Sa ki bon (Bouyon King) in 2021

The first appearance of the name, in its Letin Sylia form, is dated March 5, 2013. “Vole Nonm a Moun”, a Yellow Gaza single in French according to its page, at 157 BPM and running 3 minutes 40 according to the Deezer catalogue, credits Yellow Gaza as performer and songwriter, and two names in composition: Letin Sylia and Letin Severine. Deezer confirms the same pair, in the same order, on its page for the record. It is the only time Letin Sylia is credited as a composer in this file; on every later record, the platforms use the songwriter role for her, without any source explaining that change of wording.

That first record kept circulating long after its release. 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”. For reading the file of Letin Sylia, that trace counts as a measure of duration: the song co-written under the Sylia form in 2013 was still being selected, more than ten years later, in an international programme devoted to the genre. The catalogue of our bouyon in Guadeloupe page places that record in the production of its scene island.

The second appearance, still in the Letin Sylia form, arrives on December 14, 2021 on Vadore Concept. “Sa ki bon (Bouyon King)”, a Yellow Gaza single of 2 minutes 42, at 157 BPM, credits Vadore Concept Groupe with composition and two songwriters: Letin Sylia and Letin Severine. Between the two records, eight years pass with no intermediate credit found on the platforms consulted. This profile notes that catalogue silence without furnishing it: it could come from records not distributed digitally, from uncredited writing, or from a pause, and no source allows anyone to choose between those explanations.

The LETIN SYLVIA form: PLAN A 3 in 2024 and LEVRETTE in 2025

In 2024, the same name appears in another form. “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, in capitals and with a y followed by a v, Letin Severine and Titine Emmanuelle. The place of the name in the writing pair, its unchanged credit neighbour and the same production banner tell the reader that this is the same credited writer as on the 2013 and 2021 records, under a different metadata spelling. This profile writes Sylia in its text, the form of the first two records, and flags the Sylvia form wherever it appears.

The Sylvia form is confirmed on the most recent record in the file. “LEVRETTE”, a single by Yellow Gaza Girls released on October 16, 2025 on Vadore Concept Groupe, at 160 BPM, credits Christophe Démocrite as composer, Vador Concept Group as producer, and two songwriters: Letin Severine and LETIN SYLVIA. The performer here is the female form of the Yellow Gaza universe, to be distinguished from the Gaza Girls Crew, a neighbouring formation documented separately on this site. Our women of bouyon page gathers the place of women in the genre: the 2024 and 2025 credits place Letin Sylia in it on the writers side, on a so called Femmes Fatales edition and then on a record carried by a female project name.

Why two spellings? No source consulted explains it, and this profile does not choose an explanation in place of the facts. Platform metadata comes from distributors and rights holders, record by record: one and the same person can appear there in a declared form and then in a normalised form, or the reverse. What the file establishes is the continuity around the name: the same pair with Letin Severine on all four records, the same Yellow Gaza universe, the same Vadore Concept house from 2021 onward, and the same tempo zone. A researcher who followed only the Sylia form would miss the recent half of the file, and a researcher who followed only Sylvia would miss its beginnings: that is exactly the kind of catalogue trap this page exists to flag.

Letin Sylia and Letin Severine: co-credited everywhere, related nowhere in the sources

On the four verified records in this file, Letin Sylia never appears without Letin Severine, and Letin Severine never appears without her. The pair crosses twelve years of catalogue, two forms of the Sylia name, three performer names, Yellow Gaza, Yellow Gaza and Yumei, Yellow Gaza Girls, and two roles, composition then songwriting. In the strict sense of published credits, this is therefore a lasting writing pair of the Yellow Gaza universe, and it is in that exact form, a pair in the credits, that this site documents it in both profiles.

No source consulted goes any further. Nothing establishes that the two writers are sisters or relatives, nothing names an official duo, a shared publishing company or an exclusive collaboration, and nothing gives their full names beyond the credit forms either. The shared Letin element, placed at the head of both names in the pages, is a visible fact, not proof of family. This profile therefore refuses to tell a family or partnership story that the sources do not tell, and it assigns to each name only the credits that carry that name, form by form.

That discipline also protects the reader against two neighbouring confusions already flagged in this file. The first is the singer performing as Sylia, for whom no link with this writing credit is established. The second is inside the bouyon catalogue itself, where close project names, Gaza Girls Crew, Yellow Gaza and Yellow Gaza Girls, designate distinct entities that this site covers on separate pages. Keeping Letin Sylia in her exact place, the writing of four precise records, is the condition that keeps those distinctions readable.

What this profile does not know, and what four credits are enough to show

The blanks in the file must be stated clearly. No source consulted gives the biography of Letin Sylia, nor her place of residence, nor her beginnings before 2013, nor the reason for the change of spelling of her name between 2021 and 2024. No source consulted documents a record written for an artist outside the Yellow Gaza universe, nor a record performed by her, nor an album, nor an interview. No official social or platform account was verified by direct opening as hers, in the Sylia form or in the Sylvia form, so the schema of this page links to no external account.

Four credits are nevertheless enough to show something real about how Guadeloupe bouyon is made. The genre, born in Dominica with bands such as WCK at the end of the 1980s, produces in Guadeloupe fast singles in series, carried by changing project names, while some writing teams remain. Letin Sylia is one of those permanences: present on the first verified record of 2013, present on the most recent of 2025, and present in between on the landmark record “Sa ki bon (Bouyon King)” of 2021 and on the Femmes Fatales edition of 2024. That catalogue loyalty is a musical fact, not an administrative detail.

If Letin Sylia, Vadore Concept or Yellow Gaza one day publish the official form of her name, a biography or the complete list of her writing, this profile will be corrected, completed and dated like every page on this site, starting with the spelling in its heading. In the meantime, listening follows the order of the credits, from “Vole Nonm a Moun” to “LEVRETTE”, and context is read on our bouyon gwada page and in our bouyon playlist.

Frequently asked questions

Who is Letin Sylia?

Letin Sylia is a songwriter and composer credited in Guadeloupe bouyon. Her verified public record comes down to four records, always co-written with Letin Severine 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.

Why is she credited as Letin Sylia and then as LETIN SYLVIA?

Because the platform pages change form from record to record. The first two verified records, “Vole Nonm a Moun” in 2013 and “Sa ki bon (Bouyon King)” in 2021, write Letin Sylia. The next two, “PLAN A 3” in 2024 and “LEVRETTE” in 2025, write LETIN SYLVIA, in capitals. The credit neighbour, Letin Severine, the Vadore Concept banner and the Yellow Gaza universe stay the same, which attaches the two forms to the same file. No source consulted explains the change of spelling.

What records did Letin Sylia 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.

Is Letin Sylia the singer who performs under the name Sylia?

No source consulted establishes that. A singer performing as Sylia, with Sylia Mizik pages, released an official clip, “Rejoins-moi”, filmed in Guadeloupe. Letin Sylia, on the other hand, appears only in bouyon writing credits of the Yellow Gaza universe, never as a performer. This profile therefore transfers neither the records nor the path of the singer to the Letin Sylia credit, and keeps the two files separate.

Are Letin Sylia and Letin Severine 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, in the forms Letin Sylia then LETIN SYLVIA for the first of them, and no separate credit for one without the other was found. They 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.

Where can I hear the records written by Letin Sylia?

Start with “Vole Nonm a Moun”, the 2013 record still present 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.
