Moonlight Benjamin is a Haitian-born singer/songwriter/bandleader, who grew up in a protestant orphanage, and is now based in France.  As a teenager she started to sing at church.

Her music is unique on the Haitian diaspora. She fuses the gut-level passion of Haitian roots music with the blare and bravado of electric guitar rock, always with bracing effect.  In person, she is elegant, soft-spoken and articulate.  On stage, she is like a person possessed, raw and emotive singing mostly in Creole with a burly voice that erupts from somewhere deep within, and backed by a band that rocks hard throughout.

Moonlight’s powerful and rebellious voice, singing in Haitian Creole and French, meets the tension of saturated guitars to create an intoxicating voodoo trance in a very new and explosive style.
