Career
Matelly's discographies are hard to find, and as public data about him are extremely limited, his career is relatively unknown. In Haiti's 2015 presidential election, he published a song endorsing government-backed candidate Jovenel Moise[2] in response to Wyclef Jean's endorsement of Jude Célestin.[3] Martelly is the CEO of Big O Productions, which features Haitian artists.[4]

gollark: How does "attack" work?
