IBiography

Charlin Bato, born Christong Charlin Bateau, is a Haitian singer and songwriter recognized for combining modern konpa with Afro-pop, R&B and Afro-Caribbean influences. He first attracted wider public attention through his participation in the Digicel Stars talent competition.

He subsequently developed his solo career with songs including “Only You,” “Kole,” “Lage Cha,” “Ti Manman” and “A Chak Fwa.” His music is characterized by romantic storytelling, memorable choruses and dance-oriented production designed for both Haitian audiences and the international diaspora.

In May 2025, Charlin released his debut studio album, TORO RODEO. The project includes collaborations with Kenny Haiti, Toby Anbakè and Freedom. Its breakout song, “Pye Sou Kou,” helped expand his audience and established the album as an important step in his career. He continued releasing music in 2026 with singles including “Drip Drip” and “Kapitèn.”
