Thamar Kimberly Joseph, better known as Thamar Joseph, embodies the journey of an artist with a powerful and inspiring voice, with the remarkable presence, forged within a committed Christian family and a environment where the faith occupies a central place. Born into a family where his father was a pastor of a church in small place Cazeau, Thamar had a very youngest dedicated his life to the ministry, working in the choirs, singing with the women of his church and rubbing shoulders with the music scene since childhood. His passage noted in 2012 to the sixth edition of the Digicel Star competition, won that year by Salina Charles, marks her entry on the big stages in Haiti.
Over the years, it has ceased to evolve mainly in the ecclesial context, offering itself, from 2015–2016, a more marked foray into the non -Christian community, occurring on scenes of jazz and other musical genres during a retirement motivated by the curiosity of youth.
Her life took a decisive turn in 2020 when a meeting with a Dominican prophet reveals to him – according to her – that God calls him to take back his place in evangelical music, an experience which will give birth to the song “Mwen invite’w”. Married in Santo Domingo, she pursued an active ministry of worship there before joining the United States in 2024.
Release of new music: Home and first feedback
His latest song “Sam Pat Espere A”, written between the end of 2023 and early 2024, is the fruit of a deeply personal and spiritual testimony. When he arrived in the United States, Thamar carefully announced his installation to the community through the Koze Kretyen media, a thoughtful approach that aimed to manage the many expectations generated by the aura and the popularity of his music released in 2020. It is important to specify that, as soon as he arrived, several invitations and first collaborations arose-notably with Jackson Chery, Pastor Carlos of Prayer Midi Laurent-but these were mainly motivated by the appreciation of his previous work.
Thus, the enthusiastic reception she received was already a reflection of the positive impact of her previous music. Its brand new song, on the other hand, is starting to find its place today, promoted in various communities and relayed by the Christian media, gradually receiving touching testimonies from listeners.
Community integration and dynamics
Integration into the Haitian community in the United States of America, although promising, requires a real capacity for adaptation: new collaborators, new pastors, a mixture of cultural influences and logistical challenges mark out the course of Thamar. It underlines the richness and diversity of opportunities, but also evokes certain limits: each church does not necessarily have the means to meet the quality requirements it sets, and constitute a united and available musical team remains a challenge to date.
Its strength? A present and united family upon arrival on American soil, as well as a network of Christian artists and promoters who already knowing and supporting their work.
Creation, inspiration and production
The genesis of the song “Sam Pat Espere A” is intimately linked to a test period: written for a difficult moment, inspiration arises in prayer and meditation. She describes her as music-testimony, based on faith, expectation and confidence in God, inspired by the epistle in the Hebrews-“Faith is a firm assurance of things that we hope”-and nourished by deep personal experiences.
Musical production is demanding, both artistic and financial. When it comes to gospel, Thamar considers that excellence and spirituality should not be opposed: to produce for God is to offer the best.
Public reception and range of the message of “Sam Pat Espere A”
Testimonies flock, particularly women living maternity tests, for whom his song becomes a source of hope. Thamar quotes the overwhelming history of a woman saved from a cesarean thanks to prayer, inspired by his song. For her, each return, each life affected counts more than figures or statistics.
The song circulates both on social networks and in the circuit of evangelical churches and specialized media, and the testimonies prove that it meets a deep expectation within the community.
Vision of the Ministry and Spirituality
For Thamar, evangelical music remains a response to the call of God, not a business, even if the investment in time, energy and finances is considerable. She recalls that authenticity, integrity and patience are essential; Recognition must come from God before coming from the public. His ministry is part of a logic of thanksgiving: to thank God even before the manifest victory.
Logistics, concerts and aspirations
Participate in tours or events requires flexible logistics, a team of dedicated musicians, and the ability to adapt to each context, between rehearsals, choice of guides, local funding or resource management.
Projects and Perspectives
Thamar’s artistic horizon promises to be dense: a truly personal first album is preparing in the medium term, mixing praise, grace action and encouragement in faith. She targets excellence and wants this opus to be a real turning point for her career, a blessing for others.
Consulting to the community and artists
She encourages the community and the artists to cling to faith, to never compromise the authenticity of the service, to aim for integrity and discipline, far from the search for ephemeral glory. For Thamar, serving in music must remain an act of devotion, a ministry in the service of others.
“As a last word; »»
Thamar closes this interview by thanking all the people who have supported him, welcoming the warmth of the reception since his arrival in the United States and saying open to new collaborations. For her, the important thing remains to make glory to God, whatever the road.
“The main thing is to always give glory to the creator, regardless of the road or the obstacles. »»
