OECS YES FEATURES BVISLANDER BRENT HOYTE

The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States, OECS, (YES) Project has featured Virgislander Brent Hoyte.

The OECS described the article, as a BVIslander harnessing the healing power of gospel music to inspire hope.

Hoyte told the publication that from the age of 3, he loved to take his pots and pans and make rhythms on them – music was always a part of him.

The 26 year old Musician said that throughout primary school, the love for music grew even more, but he really noticed his inclination towards music when he was in high school.

He said he continued to embrace his love for music throughout his high school years at Elmore Stoutt High School and once he received his high school diploma, he moved on to complete his Associate Degree at Hamilton Lavity Stoutt Community College in Business Administration.

Shortly after graduating, Hoyte said he started a full-time job working as a High School Music Teacher. In 2018, however, he resigned from his teaching post and opened his own music school (Home Grown Music Academy), which is now the biggest music school in the BVI. 

Hoyte said he is getting ready to release his new album “Ear Food, Vol.1” and he is currently working on 2 more albums that he plans to release this year as well.
