In the world of Caribbean music—where sound, culture, and community move as one—true excellence is earned through consistency, humility, and an unwavering commitment to the craft. This year, that standard of excellence was embodied by DJ Vargas, who was officially named DJ of the Year – Konpa / Excellence Award at the Haitian Tri-State DJ Recognition Awards.
On November 27, 2025, the KREYOLAPP team announced DJ Vargas as one of the year’s most deserving honorees. The nomination was a reflection of his sustained impact on the culture, his dedication to musical excellence, and his ability to connect generations through Konpa music. As a proud member of Hi‑Profyle Music Group (H.P.M.G.), DJ Vargas continues to elevate Haitian music while remaining grounded in the traditions that define it. DJ Vargas received nominations in three highly respected categories:
- DJ of the Year – Konpa / Excellence Award
- Best Konpa Mixer / Remix DJ
- Crowd Controller of the Year
Each category represented a different dimension of his work—technical precision, creative innovation, and his natural ability to read and lead a crowd with confidence and purpose.
Following weeks of public voting, official results were finalized on December 20, 2025, revealing an extraordinary level of support from fans, peers, and industry leaders. The celebration reached its pinnacle on December 21, 2025, during the official awards ceremony held at the elegant Cove Lounge in Rosedale, New York. The evening brought together DJs, cultural leaders, and supporters to celebrate excellence within the Haitian music community.
The night began with DJ Vargas receiving a Gold Appreciation Award, presented in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the culture and his continued service to the community. Shortly thereafter, he was announced as the winner of DJ of the Year – Konpa / Excellence Award, earning the title with an overwhelming number of votes—a clear reflection of the trust and admiration he has built over time.
The evening also highlighted the strength of mentorship and leadership within H.P.M.G. DJ Vargas’s mentor and “big brother,” DJ Stakz, CEO of Hi-Profyle Music Group, was honored with
Crowd Controller of the Year. Their shared success underscored the values of unity, discipline, and excellence that define the collective.
In his acceptance speech, DJ Vargas offered a message that captured both gratitude and determination: “We’re going to win all year around.” It was not a boast, but a statement of vision—one rooted in consistency, faith, and a commitment to continuous growth.
