PASKA, who was born, Pascalin Mareck Smith, grew up in the city of Les Cayes where he began to make his talent known to those around him. Born in Haiti to a Haitian-American father and a Congolese mother, Paska is not the only artist in his family, his cousin Audelair Toussaint, guitarist, introduced him to the guitar and gave him his first piano.

This musical atmosphere had a lot of influence on him and served as a channel to condition him to learn music, improve himself and make it a passion.

With models like Chris Brown, Usher, Mikaben, the groups Enposib and Harmonik and Michael Jackson, his lifelong idol whose dance steps he reproduced as a child, he always saw himself as one of his successful artists who pass by. often on the big screen.

Paska completed all of his studies at the Brother Odile College of the Brothers of Christian Instruction. Very young, he became known when he was only 11 years old when he took part in the “Okay nan nwèl” competition. “It was his first time on stage”, Although he was not the lucky winner, Paska does not regret having taken part in the competition, because, thus, he made himself known and continued to perform at cultural activities in the region.

While in high school, Paska founded P.boys, a band that didn’t last long. His classical studies completed, Paska moved to Port-au-Prince for new adventures, with the support of his family who had always encouraged him and believed in his talent. Despite his life as a management student at Quisqueya University, Pascalin always finds time for his hobby. Former backing vocalist of the group Enposib during live performances, Paska truly launched his career in 2017 with Baxx Entertainment. He begins by remixing successful songs. “These covers were only a strategy to make me discover by the public”.

Her first video clip single Bina boye, which translates “Danser comme ça” into Congolese, is a tribute to her late Congolese mother and her African roots. Indeed, the native of Gemini is the son of a Congolese and a Haitian. And he dedicates his love to these two cultures. Hence this tube which combines both Haitian culture and Congolese culture. “Bina boye” is also a good start for Paska who once again proves his talent, but this time on his own composition.

Besides music, the 22-year-old also has a love for art, cinema, reading and basketball. Although he is not a good player. If he’s not at college or the studio, Paska is bound to be hooked on a book. Single certainly, the charming Paska is not however a heart to take.
