Bel & Quinn

Montreal-based sisters Belinda and Christina Belice are Bel & Quinn. Growing up in the Haitian community of the city, their music combines jazz, R&B, and soul with the rhythms of Zouk from Martinique and compa from Haiti. Bel & Quinn’s musical universe captivates with its beautiful musical arrangements and a sensitive trilingual poetic discourse which includes English, French, and Creole. Leading an all-women sextet, the sisters’ voices blend in luscious harmony with Quinn contributing music composition and arrangement built around her jazzy guitar playing and Bel providing lyrics and percussion.

Nominated for a Global Music JUNO Award in 2024, their music is intended as music of liberation and joy! The two sisters pay homage to their ancestors, their mother, the women who walked before her, but also to themselves. Their themes of self-acceptance, mental health, and healing resonate with music lovers and offer both comfort and uplift. They offer their songs to their audience as an act of healing, love, and self-acceptance, conveying a message of hope. They celebrate both their cultural background and their musical gifts, while celebrating the strength and fragility of Black women in the modern world.  

By embracing their collective voices, the duo stands out as leaders who will move and inspire!
