Gazzman “Couleur” Pierre, the lead singer of Disip, held a press conference at Hollywood Live in Hollywood to address rumors about his band’s dissolution and his discussions with drummer Jean Herard “Richie” Richard. The event, scheduled for 8 p.m., started late at around 8:50 p.m. with an introduction by Patrick Fabre, Gazzman’s manager.
Fabre emphasized the conference’s focus on Gazzman’s future in the music industry, his upcoming projects, and clarification on circulating rumors. Gazzman then recounted the history of his band, Disip, and his longstanding friendship with Richard, which dates back fifteen years. The conference revealed that plans for a collaborative band with Richard had fallen through due to disagreements over the band’s name, with Richard insisting on a new name rather than continuing under the Disip brand.
The conference was not without its controversies. It was marred by interruptions from non-journalist attendees who either showed support for Gazzman or criticized his collaborators. These disruptions highlighted the lack of professionalism among some audience members and the chaotic nature of the Haitian music industry in South Florida.
Gazzman confirmed that Disip would continue its activities and that a new album was in progress. He introduced Felder Antoine as the new band maestro and bassist, indicating a new direction for the band. Despite the contentious atmosphere of the conference, Gazzman maintained his stance and shared his plans moving forward in the Haitian Music Industry (HMI).
Meanwhile, Jean Herard “Richie” Richard is reportedly planning to start a new musical group and has been actively recruiting musicians. He remains committed to his musical career and plans to hold his own press conference to discuss his departure from Zenglen and his future endeavors.
