Dejour

Dejour Alexander is a Kittitian singer and songwriter from Saint Kitts and Nevis who began making a name for himself while still a teenager. Known for his smooth vocals, romantic lyrics, and ability to blend R&B with Caribbean influences, he has spent years developing his own identity in the region’s music scene. His journey is a story of starting young, staying focused, and turning a childhood passion into a serious musical career.

Early Life and Background

Dejour grew up in Haynes Smith Village, Saint Kitts and Nevis. His interest in singing started when he was around seven years old, and church played an important role in developing his confidence and vocal ability. He was a member of the Antioch Baptist Church community, where he gained early experience performing in front of people.

As his talent developed, Dejour began performing beyond church gatherings. He participated in the 2011 Clash of the High Schools competition and later appeared at Teen Splash, giving him opportunities to reach audiences outside his immediate community.

Even as his music career began attracting attention, Dejour took his education seriously. While attending Washington Archibald High School, he explained that schoolwork remained a priority alongside rehearsals and performances. His parents also supported his ambitions and encouraged him to stay grounded.

Music Career and Rise to Recognition

Dejour’s major early breakthrough came in 2011 when he won the ZIZ 50th Anniversary Song Competition with his original song “Take a Ride.” He was only 14 years old at the time, making the achievement an important milestone in his young career. The song helped introduce him to a wider audience across Saint Kitts and Nevis.

He continued building his catalogue with songs such as “Don’t Love Me,” “Get on the Floor,” “The One,” “Ready,” and “Love Potion.” His music combines melodic vocals with contemporary pop and R&B influences, giving him a style that stands apart from artists who focus exclusively on soca or dancehall.

His growing reputation also earned him a place on the lineup for the St. Kitts Music Festival in 2013, when he became one of the festival’s youngest performers. He later continued releasing music, including the song “Secret,” which appeared in 2020.

In a 2021 interview, Dejour reflected on fatherhood, personal growth, and his ambitions beyond music. He expressed interest in expanding into business ventures, including real estate, as his career progressed.

Personal Life

Dejour has spoken about the importance of family and fatherhood in shaping his outlook on life. He values personal growth and has described learning patience and responsibility through raising his daughter.
