Michel-Olivier Martelly (in French pronounced as /miʃɛl-ɔlivje maʁteli/), better known as Olivier Martelly, is a Haitian American singer. He has a stage name, BigO.
Olivier Martelly was born in Miami. His father, Michel Martelly was the 41st President of Haiti, and his mother, Sophia Saint-Rémy Martelly, was First Lady.[1]
Martelly's discographies are hard to find, and as public data about him is extremely limited, his career is relatively unknown. In Haiti's 2015 presidential election, he published a song endorsing government-backed candidate Jovenel Moise[2] in response to Wyclef Jean's endorsement of Jude Célestin.[3] Martelly is the CEO of Big O Productions, which features Haitian artists.[4]
