About SikaValmé

Hello. I am a Creole thinker, a creative leader, and a French language coach. I studied project management, visual arts, theater set design, and have been writing songs since my teens. I’m lucky to have acquired mentoring and coaching in business, in tennis, and in the arts. I grew up in the French Caribbean, lived between the Americas, and am based in Montreal.

I am currently producing my 2nd music album with a visual arts component, and looking to expand my creative and executive team. If you have ideas to the project grow, please reach out. We have ties in Austin, Montreal, New York, Spain, and Haïti.

Art

My illustrations are handmade. They find inspiration in the organic world, the human experience and the wonders of my brain.

Experiences

Each capsule reflects a microcosm of the daily human experience versus the macrocosm of the natural world and the cosmos…

Tropical
Lo-Fi Music

Sika is a contemporary Creole-Canadian musician and illustrator from Port-au-Prince, currently residing between Montreal, New York City, and the tropics of Central America. Born out of her experiences as an ex-pat, gay woman of Carribean origin, her music and accompanying visual universe offers a synergy of sonic and visual story-telling, crafted into positive immersive experiences, that are the signatures of Sika’s style and voice

Jessica was invited to Vanier College to facilitate a 15’x6′ collaborative art mural as part of a campaign celebrating our lgbtq+ communities at Vanier and beyond. She brought vision and passion to the project, invited students to help colour, and offered explanations on her piece. She was reliable and consistent in her work, communicated her needs clearly, and was very easygoing. Well-organized, she remained within the budget provided, and efficiently coordinated her team of two. The finished mural is both magnificent and meaningful now located inside the L building at Vanier.

Jessica is possessed of an organizational nature, perfect for unconventional settings, is capable of a grand overview, paying close attention to small details that amount to a coherent project. Colour Your Walls was not merely an album launch, but a complete art project: she maintains the ease to clearly express herself, makes certain her collaborators and volunteers are working with her on the same wavelength all while setting a pleasant atmosphere for those committed to her. Professional placidity that only experience can generate.

Andy Bwrrow Music Producer - Sound Engineer

" Working with Jessica on her EP Colour Your Walls was a distinct pleasure. While facilitating the production process (Montreal-Miami), her sense of direction combined with a desire to explore foreign territory and willingness to entertain new ideas was as remarkable as it was refreshing. For a new artist, accepting and giving constructive criticism is often associated with “growing pains,” but Jessica demonstrated a level of maturity and conciseness of thought that is rare in even seasoned artists " .

Jessica is a very professional, polite, and welcoming tutor. As a queer person, I felt comfortable and respected, and I was able to learn the terminology that is often used within the LBGTIQIA2+ community. It is clear that she takes time to customize and deliver material in a way that matches your learning style, and she is flexible if things need to change. I would recommend Jessica’s services to anyone who has specific needs in learning French and wants a tutor who is patient and adaptable
