She sings and plays guitar and has become known for her dazzling performance styles ranging from Jazz\, Folk\, Soul\, and across Haitian musical genres. \nMikaëlle Aimée first debuted on the Haitian Music scene in 2009 where she began performing regularly for the variety shows Ayiti Deploge\, and Havana Guitar Night. She also participated heavily in the Port-au-Prince Jazz music scene between 2010 and 2014. \nAs lead singer of the jazz band Kayel\, Mikaëlle Aimée held residence at the well-known Quartier Latin in Pétion-Ville\, Haiti from 2010 to 2013. \nShe also hosted the popular television show “Metro Night” on Haiti’s Tele Metropole station between 2012 and 2014. \nMikaëlle’s journey took an unexpected pivot when she found herself stranded in the US\, in Summer 2014\, due to passport complications. As luck would have it\, the travel delays would be the catalyst that jumpstarted her music career here in the US. \nShe quickly plugged into the Haitian Jazz community and eventually joined some New York-based ensembles. She would later participate in the 2018 Apollo Theater Amateur Night\, where she reached the semi-finals\, marking her first major accomplishment on US soil. \nHer musical pursuits have taken her throughout the 5 boroughs\, New Jersey\, Philadelphia\, Connecticut\, Miami and Atlanta. Her international performances include Spain\, Jamaica\, and the Dominican Republic. \nMikaëlle Aimée released the soulful ballad “Lay me Down” in 2019 and Kreyol Funk tune\, “Adye” in 2021. \nShe is currently in the process of completing her first EP “Hope in Disguise”\, with Queens based Producer Gurpal X\, and is also working towards the release of several tracks in Haitian Creole. \nIn 2025\, she created “Soirée Sérénade”\, a compilation of Haitian traditional and folk music\, french chansonettes\, jazz and bossa nova. It serves as a representation of what would be popular on the radio when she was a child. The purpose of this show is to unite Haitians with a voyage through time\, a bit of nostalgia for the exiled. \nFor more information or booking\, please contact Mikaëlle Aimée at MikaelleAimee@gmail.com or visit her on Instagram @MikaelleAimee \n—\nHCX | Mizik Ayiti! Residency \nHCX positions this invitational residency as an opportunity to innovate and workshop concepts and works-in-progress\, showcase new work\, and build networks for artists’ future presentation (e.g. booking\, touring) at other cultural institutions and stages. \nRarely do artists receive a consistent opportunity to create and share in “real time”–to develop their ideas in a beta form\, experiment\, and refine amidst presenting publicly. Over the course of 6 weeks\, resident artists receive a platform to fine tune approaches\, activate jam sessions\, and explore sonic possibilities while developing relationships with their audiences. \nOn Thursday evenings\, artist-composers host unique sets joined by a rotation of guest artists and ensembles. Performances offer the opportunity to showcase new work and workshop arrangements across the musical landscape\, from traditional genres reverberating the strength of the tanbou to the contemporary sound like fusion jazz and electronic music carrying Haitian vibration into the future.

SUMMARY:NYTM Exhibitions: Shining a light on The Subway Sun\, FAREwell\, MetroCard\, & The Subway Is…
DESCRIPTION:On view through December 7\, 2025\nShining a light on The Subway Sun: The art of Fred G. Cooper and Amelia Opdyke Jones\nOver five decades\, The Subway Sun advised\, informed\, and admonished New York subway riders—encouraging civility\, safety\, cleanliness\, and pride in their city and its mass transit rail system. For the bulk of its existence\, two artists gave the campaign its distinctive tone: Fred G. Cooper and Amelia Opdyke Jones. This exhibit features more than 40 selections from the New York Transit Museum’s collection of approximately 120 original poster artworks and more than one hundred vintage posters\, most produced between 1936 and 1965.\n \nOn view through May 31\, 2026\nThe Subway Is…\nYou take it to work\, to school\, or for a night out. It’s become a shorthand for New York — or urbanity in the abstract. It’s the New York City subway. It moves millions of people — and has since the day it opened on October 27th\, 1904. Using images and objects from the Museum collection\, this exhibit explores some of the endless ways to complete the sentence\, “The Subway Is…” \nTicket To Ride\nThrough archival photographs\, ephemera\, and objects from the Transit Museum’s extensive collection\, Ticket to Ride shows the evolution of fare collection across all of New York’s modes of transportation. Visitors will see and touch different types of collection equipment such as turnstiles and fare boxes\, get a sense the colossal process of fare collection\, and see some of the people who make sure the money goes where it’s supposed to go. \nOpens December 17\, 2025\nFAREwell\, MetroCard traces the rise and retirement of the iconic fare card that reshaped daily life for millions of New Yorkers. When the MetroCard debuted in 1994\, its mission was twofold: introduce new technology to the transit system and speed the elimination of tokens as a way to pay fares. In the decades that followed\, the MetroCard became almost as iconic as the token itself\, bearing safety reminders\, commemorating anniversaries\, and celebrating cultural moments. As OMNY becomes the new way to pay\, the exhibition invites visitors to explore the MetroCard’s origins\, its systemwide rollout\, the technology behind it\, and the many ways it became a cultural icon for a generation of riders.
