Cleve Hurricane Jean Jacques is a musician by profession.  He hales from the island of Dominica in the Caribbean.  Hurricane’s musical career began at the tender age of fourteen, when at the time he performed as lead guitarist and vocalist for the Island’s leading band.  Then Hurricane continued to develop in strength as a song writer, musical arranger, and entertainer.  In 1986, he entered the arena of calypso and for the next fourteen years touched  the hearts and lives of people all over the world.

The lyrical vibrations of original hit songs like Sweet Banana, Miracle, Unarmed but Dangerous, and Utility Pressure provoked minds, stirred feelings, and moved the audience to dance and sing along.

At competition level, he has been crowned Calypso King three times at the national level in his own country as well as three times Road March King.  He was also crowned Caribbean King in 1996 and came seventh in the World Monarch Competition.  Hurricane has performed in Europe, Central America, South America, Canada, the United States, and almost all of the Caribbean Islands.  Hurricane has opened for or performed along side of Calypso King of the World Mighty Sparrow, Arrow, Ziggy Marley, Shaggy,   Luciano, Morgan Heritage, Steel Pulse, and more.

Presently, Hurricane resides in Chicago, heading the Hurricane band and performing with some of the most talented professionals in the industry.  The band performs as a quartet or an orchestra featuring a brass section or steel pan.  Hurricane also performs as a solo artist thrilling audiences with his true musical talent.

Prepare to experience a true Caribbean vibe, a total party package with reggae, soca, calypso, a little jazz and blues, and a taste of a real island culture and sound from the Hurricane.
