Olivier Duret Quits T-Vice after 6 Years

Olivier Duret, a member of high profile kompa band, T-Vice handed in his letter of resignation on Thursday and shared a letter with fans, Kompa! Magazine has learned.

In a note, the artist wrote:

To all my fans, friends and media members,

As some of you may already know, after a 6 year run in the T-Vice team, I have decided to pursue my solo career.

I thank the Vice crew for the opportunity that was offered to me and the experience aquired with them. We had a great run and we were happy to share the love we have for Music.

As any artist will tell you, being in a band takes a lot of your time so, after thinking it through, i took a difficult decision to pursue a solo career.

This is only a new chapter, music lives on…

Thank you

The letter was written in 3 languages, French, Creole and Spanish and was also posted to his facebook page.
