The band Zing Experience fuzes Haitian Roots, Reggae and Rock to create a soulful sound, with influences from artists as diverse as Boukman Eksperyans, Jimi Hendrix, and Bob Marley. Zing Experience made its New York City debut on September 30, 2006 at Sugar Bar, the legendary music venue of '70s icons Ashford and Simpson. The band packed the house and created an instant following of loyal supporters. That momentous night opened the door for Zing Experience to deliver its positive message to embrace one's roots and "live a better day," as reflected in one of the band's most popular songs, "Take Me Away". Since their debut, Zing Experience has gained international and commercial appeal and has performed in Europe, the Caribbean, South America, and the U.S, making them one of the few bands out of Haiti that has been able to garner worldwide success. In March 2009, they headlined the annual "No Siesta, Fiesta" Festival in Norway, where they received rave reviews from the Norwegian press and where they also recorded their first full length album in 2010. Their music has been used in two internationally distributed films, "The Road to Fondwa" and "Une Memoire Vodou". In February 2011, Zing Experience received the prestigious Unesco-Ashburg Artist in Residency Scholarship in Montreal, Canada. They have an exciting and captivating live performance that causes you to dance, laugh, cry, and learn. Paul Beaubrun, the group's co-founder, lead singer/songwriter and guitarist, is said
