I am brand new

Born in (Pareidon) lascahobas, plateau central Haiti on June 23 in a Christian family of 8 children. His Father Yvon Balde grew up in Paniague; Pareidon married to His Mother, Ruthe Decéus, raised in Kabedjin. Yvenson Balde started his musical career in 2000 and integrated the band BERACA in 2001 to play keyboard. By then, people started to know him as a musician. In 2002, he was recruited to be the keys player of the gospel choir “heavenly voice de Lascahobas”. While he was doing his job playing keys, his maestro Barthelemy Formule discovered his new talent and asked him to join as one of the lead singers. Yvenson doesn’t have a problem singing any type of voice, soprano, tenor or alto. After a period of experience music, he decided to create his own band J.E.L.S (Jeunes Elus du Salut) in 2003. This band has been a success for him. Yvenson said “we, musician of JELS were not the best musician in the Haitian musical system, but we did our best to be the best band in PLATEAU CENTRAL and we were the CHOUCHOU of them”. After graduated from high school, he got transferred to “Universite L’umiere d’Haiti”; where he started studying computer science. He did not give up on his musician career. Every weekend, he traveled to his town (lascahobas) in order to rehearse. In 2008, he came to the United States in order to continue his study at (Nassau community college) in NewYork. That didn’t stop him from continuing with his music occupation; he started another band named, F.O.G (followers of God). A year later, he has been called to join Phare Celeste Band as a keyboard player. Happily, he joined the band. Now, he no longer plays keyboard for the band, but the front man of the band...
