[Mr MDE11]

It is said that Armstrong Jeune's strong presence in the Konpa industry simply cannot be ignored.

This talented young man entered the music arena late in his teens.

During one of his after-school piano lessons, his teacher, Dernst Emile, heard him sing for the first time and promptly encouraged him to consider taking singing lessons.

He gladly took the advice and laboriously worked on his newly discovered skill.

It was while hanging around guitarist Rousseau Telfort and pianist Philippe Pierre that he quickly developed into a skillful singer able to perform various musical forms, including jazz, salsa and Konpa.

INFLUENCES - He lists among his influences Jean Eline telfort a.k.a. Cubano, Guy Durosier and Joel Widmaier.

Armstrong Jeune - Lead/backup singer for the New York All Stars.

Armstrong Jeune has in a short period of time collaborated on more than a dozen records including DjetX, Shleu Shleu, Tabou Combo, Zenglen, Skah Shah, Eddy Brissot, New York All Stars, and several others have stamped his distinctive voice on their albums.

On the road, he has performed with groups such as Metrosonic, DjetX and New York All Stars.

Some critics see singer/composer Armstrong Jeune as one who has already, within his very short career span, established himself among the very few compas singers who one day deserve to be inducted into our yet to be Konpa hall of fame.

His caliber is already being paralleled to those of legendary Konpa singers "Ti Manno" and Cubano.

Recognizing the value of an education, Armstrong obtained an associate's degree in Social Work at the College of Staten Island and has spent four years working for the NYC Human Resources Administration.

He is looking forward to a career change into the business field and plans on going back to school for his bachelor's degree.

In the meantime, his immediate plans include the release of his first solo album and the continuation of his growth as an accomplished singer among his talented fellow NYAS musicians.
