Haitian Artistic Community Mourns Performer Black Alex—Dead at 39

Black Alex Died
The performer known as Black Alex died on Friday, November 13 in Port-au-Prince, ending a career that started in the mid-1990s–Kreyolicious has learned. According to Haiti Press Network, the performer was born Jamecy Black Alex on October 16, 1976 and passed away at a hospital in Haiti’s capital. He was member of a band called King Posse and later branched out on his own as a solo artist, and in the past few years had done features on songs of various artists.

ABOUT K. St Fort K. St. Fort is the Editor and Founder of, well, Kreyolicious.com and wishes to give you a heartfelt welcome to her site. She loves to read, write, and listen to music and is fascinated by her Haitian roots, and all aspects of her culture. Speaking of music, she likes it loud, really, really loud. Like bicuspid valve raising-loud. Her other love are the movies. She was once a Top 50 finalist for a student screenwriting competition, encouraging her to continue pounding the pavement. She has completed several screenplays, with Haiti as the backdrop, one of which tackles sexual abuse in an upper middle class Haitian family, while another has child slavery as its subject. She is currently completing another script, this time a thriller, about two sisters who reunite after nearly 10 years of separation. A strong believer in using films to further educational purposes, and to raise awareness about important subjects, she has made it a point to write about social issues facing Haiti, and making them an integral part of her projects. She has interviewed such Haitian-American celebrities as Roxane Gay, Garcelle Beauvais, Jimmy Jean-Louis, Briana Roy, Karen Civil, and many, many more. And that’s her writing this whole biographical sketch. She actually thinks writing about herself in the third person is cute.
