Wyclef Jean Shares His Story of the Fall and Rise of a Refugee and graces the Cover of Island Origins Magazine

SOUTH FLORIDA – This February, multi-platinum, Grammy winning, Haitian American musician Wyclef Jean will appear on the cover of ‘Island Origins Magazine’.

From preacher’s son to one time political hopeful, the hip-hop rebel shares his inner journey in an exclusive story about the fall and rise of a refugee.

Jean was snapped on location in Jamaica by photographer Courtney Chen, sporting the instrument of legendary guitarist Stephen ‘Cat’ Coore from the Third World Band. The images reflect the power and charisma that still shine from within him, even after surviving years of personal and professional travails.
