Francis Mercier has emerged as one of the most influential figures in contemporary electronic music. Originally from Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and now based in New York, the producer and DJ has redefined the House music landscape by masterfully blending melodic elements, ethnic percussion, and a rich Caribbean heritage.
A Unique Global Sound
With a background in Applied Mathematics from Brown University, Mercier brings both analytical precision and creative soul to his productions. Often described as Melodic Afro House, his sound has captured global attention through major milestones:
Chart-Topping Hits: He reached the Beatport Top 10 with international anthems like “Premier Gaou” and “Sete”.
Elite Collaborations: His discography includes high-profile work with icons such as Diplo, Black Coffee, Major Lazer, and Amadou & Mariam.
Global Presence: From the main stages of Coachella and EDC Las Vegas to his Solèy residency at Club Chinois Ibiza, his sets are known for their spiritual, high-energy atmosphere.
Entrepreneurship: Deep Root Records & Solèy
Beyond the DJ booth, Francis is the founder and label boss of Deep Root Records, one of the most prominent independent labels in the U.S. Through his imprints and the Solèy community—which means "Sun" in Haitian Creole—Mercier fosters a global movement rooted in multiculturalism and sonic innovation.ConclusionWith millions of streams and support from major outlets like BBC Radio 1, Forbes, and Billboard, Francis Mercier is more than a musician; he is a cultural architect bridging ancestral roots with the future of the dance floor.
