The twenty-five-year-old performer will present his15 track album which consists of seven genres of music, including local bouyon to Dominica and the world.
In an exclusive interview with Dominica News Online, the Good Hope resident expressed pride in his accomplishment. He said however, that it was not without several hiccups.
Florent described the album as a tremendously positive one which will bring upliftment to everyone who listens.
He added, “Why I named the album ‘Give a helping hand’ is because of who I am personally, I love to help people as a young man and when I see how difficult it is for some people out there, my heart just wants me to go out there and become something so that I can give back to my community and Dominica on a whole… and to also have a positive influence over the lives of young people.”
The album was written by Florent and produced by former ‘Partners in Crime’ and ‘First Serenade’ member Eric Bardouille. Mastering was done by Cornel Phillip. Florent also did some arranging and producing on the album.
The album was pre-released on March 19 this year.
