NMRS primarily focuses on Kompa and Beat, Ethno-Kompa, KomPOP, and Ragga-Ton, targeting young Haitian Kompa musicians aged 18-34.

NMRS is genre- and female-centric, focusing on Kompa-infused music. 

We are 100% human-centered, committed to working with real people in every aspect of our music creation, from producing and mixing to mastering and performing. 

Our trademark hybrid sound, Kompa and Beat (K&B), is a sub-genre of Kompa Direct (also spelled Compas) originating from Haiti. It combines elements of Funk, Rap 'sing-rapping,' and 'Talk-Sing,' delivered with a melody over a Kompa beat.
