Lu City: the Saint Lucia duo that passed through a bouyon remix

Published October 20, 2026

Lu City is a Saint Lucia duo, made up of songwriters Tylor Ryie Auguste, known as Ryie, and Jean Atem Farah, known as LUJA, known for Creole pop coloured with dancehall and afrobeat, sung between English and the French Creole of Saint Lucia. It is not a bouyon duo, and this profile says so at the door. Its place on this site rests on a single record, but that record is explicit: “La Véwité (Remix Bouyon)”, credited to DJ Killerz and Lu City, released on March 6, 2024 on UpFull Music according to Shazam, where DJ Killerz is credited as remixer, vocals and producer, and Lu City as performer. Everything else in the duo catalog, the albums “Lucidity” in 2022 and “I Miss You” in 2024, the singles “Travail”, “Movay”, “Déranger” and “Petit Bonbon”, serves here as context: it shows where the song the remix took up came from, and it is never refiled as bouyon. This profile tells the duo, the song, the remix, then the exact border between the two worlds.

Who Lu City is: LUJA and Ryie, a duo that writes its own songs

Lu City is the stage name of a Saint Lucia duo made up of two songwriters. The credits opened on the platforms give their civil names consistently: Tylor Ryie Auguste and Jean Atem Farah. The page of the official “La Véwité” video on YouTube sets out the nicknames: lyrics written by Tylor “Ryie” Auguste and Jean Atem Farah, presented in brackets as LUJA. CaribVoxx, which followed the duo from 2020, presents them the same way: the Saint Lucian duo LUJA and Ryie. On Deezer, the two names share almost every composition credit in the catalog, from “La Vie” to “Tu Me Connais”, which makes Lu City a writing duo as much as a vocal duo.

The duo sound identity is documented from its earliest press traces. In August 2020 CaribVoxx described the release of “Travail”, nicknamed “Outside” by fans: a Creole infused pop ballad, written for the ladies according to the LMG Records release note, whose chorus by Ryie mixes English and Saint Lucia Creole, with a line saying, in substance, that if you do not want to go outside, you can stay inside, a nod to the lockdown period. The same article underlines a habit already in place: weaving the French Creole of Saint Lucia into the songs, as on “Sa Ka Fete”, with singer Shontelle, presented as a Grammy nominated artist, and on “Movay”, described as an immensely successful record for the duo. Ryie explained the approach there in words that stayed attached to the duo: wanting to bring up the country and showcase the raw talent of Saint Lucia, with Kalash and Wizkid as inspirations for their way of blending languages, and this sentence: music does not need a visa.

The professional circle also appears in those early sources. CaribVoxx names the duo manager, Eliot H. Bailey, an LMG executive producer, who announced in 2020 a pace of at least one song a month over twelve months. The “La Véwité” video page gives, for its part, a booking contact attached to the Lucian Style name and the duo official Instagram account, lucityofficial. The in-house producer CaribVoxx cited for the inspiration of the “Travail” beat, Shaquille “Delete” Wilkinson, reappears three years later as the credited engineer on the “La Véwité” video: a useful thread of continuity, because it links the duo press beginnings to the song at the centre of this profile.

The catalog before the remix: “Lucidity”, “I Miss You” and the singles

The first album documented on the duo Deezer artist page is “Lucidity”, released on October 28, 2022 on Monk Music and Lu City Music, with seventeen tracks announced. The page details its opening run: “La Vie”, “Better”, “Asé”, “Ransom”, “Cure”, “Comfort Zone” and “Vini”, composed by Jean Atem Farah and Tylor Ryie Auguste, at times with one-off collaborators such as Bartis Josias, Kévin Valleray and Wendy Torvic. The titles themselves map the duo territory: Creole and French words, “Asé”, “Vini”, “La Vie”, set inside an album presented in English, exactly the language blend CaribVoxx described two years earlier. None of these records is presented as bouyon on the page opened, and this profile does not file them as such.

The second album, “I Miss You”, appeared on April 19, 2024, again on Monk Music and Lu City Music, with twenty six tracks announced. The Deezer page opens its first part: “Tu Me Connais”, “Love Letter”, “La Véwité”, “Is It Real?”, “DND”, “Medicine” and “Fòs”, almost all composed by the duo alone. The presence of “La Véwité” in the tracklist matters for what follows in this profile: the song DJ Killerz produced as a single in November 2023, then remixed as bouyon in March 2024, was then folded by the duo into its own album, in its plain version. It is the sign of a record the duo counts as its own, not a simple stop at an outside producer.

Around the albums, the Deezer page lines up a run of singles that shows the duo regularity: “Goumen” on December 15, 2023, “DND” on January 12, 2024, “Is It Real?” on February 16, 2024, “Tu Me Connais” on March 29, 2024, then, after the album, “Petit Bonbon” on January 16, 2025 and “Déranger” on February 13 and 14, 2025, the last two on Islanda Records, with credits opening to other pens, X-Man writing on “Déranger”, Didi B cited on “Petit Bonbon”. In 2026 the same page lists “Douvan” on June 5, “Prend” on July 3 and “Plan A” on August 7, still on Islanda Records. This catalog is that of an active, structured Caribbean pop duo, with two albums and a discipline of singles: it is in that landscape, and not in a bouyon catalog, that the March 2024 remix slots in as a signed exception.

“La Véwité”: the original song, produced by DJ Killerz

The original version of “La Véwité” appeared on November 24, 2023. Its Deezer listing shows it as a single of two minutes and seven seconds, released under the DJ KILLERZ banner, with three writers: Caumartin Harry, Jean Atem Farah and Tylor Ryie Auguste, and Caumartin Harry as composer. In other words, from the original version onward, the song is a co-production of the two worlds in this file: the two Lu City members on the lyrics, and the man behind DJ Killerz, Harry Caumartin, on composition and, according to the official video, on production.

The official video, posted on the duo channel, confirms and completes those credits. Its description lists lyrics written by Tylor “Ryie” Auguste and Jean Atem Farah, LUJA, production by DJ Killerz, direction by Jima Janor, assisted by Yohann Laurent, styling by Jaddict Creations and Shaquille “Delete” Wilkinson as engineer, the same in-house producer CaribVoxx cited in 2020. The video keywords say Saint Lucia, afrobeat, dancehall and Caribbean, and its hashtags keep afrobeat and dancehall: the original song therefore presents itself as a Saint Lucia afrobeat and dancehall record, not as a bouyon record. That self-presentation matters, because it fixes the starting point: bouyon only arrives in a second step, through the remix, and by the producer decision.

The path of the song after the single confirms its standing in the duo journey. Taken into the “I Miss You” album of April 2024, it sits third in the tracklist opened on Deezer, between “Love Letter” and “Is It Real?”, composed by the two duo members. A song born at an outside producer, turned into an album record by the duo: that is the exact material the bouyon remix would rework three months after the single release, and a few weeks before the album.

The March 6, 2024 “Remix Bouyon”: the centre of the file

“La Véwité (Remix Bouyon)” appeared on March 6, 2024. The Shazam song page, opened for this profile, presents it as a single released on UpFull Music, in English, at 114 BPM. Its Deezer listing, on the duo page, gives a length of two minutes and thirteen seconds, against two minutes and seven seconds for the original, and a release credit in the DJ KILLERZ name: the two platforms do not tell the label story in exactly the same way, UpFull Music on Shazam, the producer banner on Deezer, and this profile flags the gap instead of settling it. The writers stay the same as on the original: Caumartin Harry, Jean Atem Farah and Tylor Ryie Auguste.

The Shazam performing credits tell the gesture of the remix precisely. DJ Killerz is credited there in three roles: remixer, vocals and producer. Lu City is credited as performer. The remix is therefore not a simple dressing laid by a third party over a finished song: the producer of the original version takes his own record back, adds his voice and rebuilds it under an explicit genre label, “Remix Bouyon”, while the duo remains the reference performer of the song. It is that title, carried by the single itself on two platforms, that earns Lu City its place on this site: an explicit bouyon credit, dated, credited and verifiable, in line with the rule this site applies to every Saint Lucia artist.

The small scale of the gesture also deserves noting. Six seconds separate the length of the remix from that of the original on Deezer, and the tempo shown by Shazam, 114 BPM, stays that of a danceable pop song rather than that of the fastest bouyon records in this site catalog. The bouyon remix of “La Véwité” is therefore a shift of rhythmic frame and label more than a complete rebuild: the same short song, the same writers, the same producer, but a bouyon reading claimed in the very title of the single. To hear the difference, the direct comparison of the two listings, the original of November 24, 2023 and the remix of March 6, 2024, is the most honest path, and our bouyon remix page places that gesture inside the wider history of bouyon reworks.

Dennery, bouyon and Saint Lucia: keeping the two island sounds apart

Saint Lucia has its own party sound, Dennery Segment, born on the island and distinct from bouyon. This site therefore applies a strict rule to Saint Lucian artists: no page without an explicit, verified bouyon credit, and never a refiling of their Dennery or pop work as bouyon. Lu City passes that filter through one record, and one only: the “Remix Bouyon” of “La Véwité”. The rest of this profile took care to present its catalog for what it is: Creole pop, dancehall and afrobeat sung from Saint Lucia, with albums on Monk Music and Lu City Music and then singles on Islanda Records. Saying that takes nothing away from the duo: it locates exactly the point where its path crosses that of bouyon, for the length of one single shared with a producer from the French Antilles circuit.

A reminder of origins helps keep the two banks apart. Bouyon was born in Dominica, and bouyon soca, one of its sung forms, was started by Dada in 2003 in Dominica, per the first hand testimony of Sean “Smokiller” Francis. Dennery Segment comes from Saint Lucia. When a producer such as DJ Killerz takes a Saint Lucian song and reissues it explicitly as a “Remix Bouyon”, he carries the song from one island tradition to the other, with the label shown on the artwork and in the metadata: it is that declared traffic, and not a resemblance of tempo, that makes the record documentable here. Readers who want the Saint Lucia side of the story will find it on our bouyon in Saint Lucia page, and the Dominican side on the bouyon soca page.

Lu City position can then be summed up without dressing. A Saint Lucia songwriting duo, two albums, a Creole writing claimed from 2020, one song, “La Véwité”, produced by DJ Killerz in November 2023, then a remix of that song, released on March 6, 2024 under the bouyon label, with the producer on remix, vocals and production, and the duo as performer. Neither a bouyon artist in the full sense, nor a mere name crossed in a mix: a credited performer on an explicit bouyon release, which is exactly the kind of contact point this site documents, island by island and credit by credit.

After the remix, the 2026 stage and the limits of the file

What followed for the duo, as the Deezer page documents it, holds no other bouyon labelled record to date. The 2025 singles, “Petit Bonbon” and “Déranger”, appeared on Islanda Records, and the 2026 singles keep the same line, with one writing collaboration of note for this site: “Douvan”, on June 5, 2026, counts among its composers Ryie and litleboy lsbeats767, the producer linked to the record “Pow Pow / Allo Doudou”, whose path this site follows on its Litleboy LSBeats767 page. That is a credit contact point, not a bouyon record, and it is presented as such: the production networks of the French speaking and English speaking Caribbean cross in the metadata, far beyond genre labels.

The stage confirmed the duo standing at home in 2026. The programme of the Saint Lucia Jazz and Arts Festival 2026, held from April 30 to May 10, places Lu City at the World Beats night of May 9 on Pigeon Island, alongside Tems, Ella Mai, X-MAN, Princess Lover, Les Aiglons de Guadeloupe and October 4. Coverage of the festival presents Lu City among the Saint Lucian artists holding the local place in an international programme: thirty four editions after its creation, the festival remains the island big stage, and the duo appears there in its own name. Again, nothing bouyon in that programme line: it serves to measure the duo real weight at home, at the moment this profile documents it for a single remix.

The limits of the file must be stated clearly. No detailed official biography of the duo was opened during this research: neither formation dates nor a path before “Travail” in 2020 is established by a verified primary source, and this profile sticks to platform credits, the official video and the Caribbean press opened. The Shazam and Deezer listings disagree on the banner of the remix single, UpFull Music in one case, DJ KILLERZ in the other. Finally, only one duo record carries the bouyon label: the track list in the structured data of this page therefore holds that single remix, and nothing else. For accurate listening, start with the two versions of “La Véwité”, continue with “Travail”, “Tu Me Connais”, “DND” and “Déranger” for the Creole pop side, cross to the DJ Killerz page for the other half of the remix, and find the Dominican side in our bouyon playlist.

Frequently asked questions

Who are the members of Lu City?

Two songwriters from Saint Lucia: Tylor Ryie Auguste, known as Ryie, and Jean Atem Farah, known as LUJA. Their names appear together in the composition credits of almost the whole duo catalog on Deezer, and the description of the official “La Véwité” video sets out the nicknames: lyrics by Tylor “Ryie” Auguste and Jean Atem Farah, LUJA. CaribVoxx presented the duo as LUJA and Ryie from 2020.

Why is Lu City on a site devoted to bouyon?

For one explicit record only: “La Véwité (Remix Bouyon)”, a single by DJ Killerz and Lu City released on March 6, 2024, where Lu City is credited as performer and DJ Killerz as remixer, vocals and producer according to Shazam. Lu City is a Saint Lucia Creole pop duo, not a bouyon duo: the rest of its catalog is presented as context and is never refiled as bouyon on this page.

What is the difference between “La Véwité” and its bouyon remix?

The original version appeared on November 24, 2023, produced by DJ Killerz, billed as afrobeat and dancehall in the keywords of its official video, and runs two minutes and seven seconds on Deezer. The remix appeared on March 6, 2024 under the explicit “Remix Bouyon” label, runs two minutes and thirteen seconds, shows 114 BPM on Shazam, and credits DJ Killerz as remixer, vocals and producer, with Lu City as performer. The three writers are the same: Caumartin Harry, Jean Atem Farah and Tylor Ryie Auguste.

What are Lu City albums?

Two albums appear on the Deezer page opened for this profile: “Lucidity”, on October 28, 2022, on Monk Music and Lu City Music, seventeen tracks announced including “La Vie”, “Asé” and “Vini”; and “I Miss You”, on April 19, 2024, on the same banners, twenty six tracks announced including “Tu Me Connais”, “La Véwité”, “Is It Real?” and “DND”. None of those records is presented as bouyon.

Does Lu City make Dennery Segment?

Lu City comes from Saint Lucia, the island of Dennery Segment, and moves in the island party and Creole pop scene. But no source opened for this profile classes a specific Lu City record as Dennery Segment, and this site does not do it in their place. The rule applied here is simple: the duo is documented for its explicit bouyon credit, the “Remix Bouyon” of “La Véwité”, and its pop, dancehall and afrobeat catalog is described with no genre label added.

Where can I hear Lu City?

Through the two versions of “La Véwité”, the November 2023 original and the March 6, 2024 “Remix Bouyon”, then through “Travail”, the 2020 record documented by CaribVoxx, “Tu Me Connais”, “DND”, “Goumen” and “Déranger”. Its artist page is open on Deezer, linked in the data of this page. The profile of its remix partner is on the DJ Killerz page, and the Dominican side of bouyon is in our bouyon playlist.
