Claire Wislene Calixte, by her artist name Claire Calixte, is a singer whose soprano voice is a reflection both of her hard-worked talent and of her qualities. Born of a Christian family whose parents sang in a choir, practiced theater, and her brothers the guitar, Claire Calixte rather dedicates her voice to God. For two years, she has not stopped acquiring more experiences, in particular through groups that she has frequented, such as: Little Singer of Harmony (Diquini-Carrefour), Sentinel, Mélodie.
In 2008, Claire traveled to the Dominican Republic to do university studies in pharmaco-biochemistry. But she always sacrificed herself to devote time to music, which allowed her to integrate into the “Gospel Promess” Choir led by her uncle, Phanuel Calixte, where she spent about three years … Few time later, a new chapter will open in the life of the singer: She launches a solo album. Helped by his family and friends, the project will expand when a Dominican collaborator, Lenny Salas, takes part in the realization of this dream which becomes reality in 2013. The album is called “Free”, a title that fascinates and inspires. The album is written in French, Creole, English and Spanish and is made of various musical styles (Slow, Worship, Reggae etc…). It is composed of ten songs, including two “featuring”,
Some time later, Claire follows seminars on music presented by American, French and Dominican executives. In 2015, released the second album which marks Claire’s career titled ” Jesús el extraordinario ” (Jesus, the extraordinary) containing eight songs only in Spanish for the Latin public. More than five thousand copies of the two albums were sold from 2013 to 2016 in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Canada, Guadeloupe, Mexico, Puerto Rico to name a few. Thanks to its success, the Revue l’Eudiant, a Haitian student magazine in Santiago, nicknamed it “ golden voice ”. Claire Calixte makes several tours on stage in concert with many famous evangelical artists: Jose Catillo, Ruth Sandoval, Maribel Soto, Magguie Blanchard, Nicky Christ, Poppy Duverné etc.
Returning to Haiti for over two years, and leading a stable life there, Claire Calixte made her signature sale in Haiti with the “Team Évangélique Promo”. Claire was appointed, in May of this year, ambassador of “Christian Chic” under the theme “How I dress to go to church”. Claire also works in social with OTOS (” one Toy, one Smile ”) where she spent two years with the children of this association. She was also one of the members of the singing jury alongside Salina, Prinptemps. Always on the social side Claire Calixte is a member of an international organization BGCQH (” Boys and Girls Club Quisqueya Haiti ”), which aims to train children. Even if she leads an artist’s life, Claire also takes advantage of her status as a licensee in Pharmaco-biochemistry to market a line of laundry products (detergent, disinfectant, chlorine) made by her and known as ” Claire’s products ”. Claire Calixte is preparing her third album which will be for the Haitian public “an amen to a prayer”.
