Meet the Dominican Artists Who Are Revolutionizing the Sounds of the Island

Roxiny is an artist who is not afraid to let viewers in on her past. She was born in the Dominican Republic and raised across countries like Panama and Italy, enduring unstable environments along the way. At the age of 17, she ran away from home and flew to the US, where she embarked on her musical journey. In 2018, Roxiny released her indie punk pop work "Rituals," a feminist album unveiling the artist's sufferings from physical to sexual abuse. Through her music, Roxiny undergoes a metamorphosis from victim, to survivor, to activist.
