He is a successful Christian singer, keyboardist, arranger, and song writer. He has dedicated his whole life to music ministry. Following his winning of the first prize on “Konkou Chante Nwèl” (Christmas Song Contest) in 2000, instead of establishing himself as an artist in the secular world, he chose to join Alabanza production for a full-time career. During which period, on the side of Maestro Carl Joseph, he had the honor to support many major gospel choirs of that time such as Oshama, where his touch could be felt on some of their albums. Maestro Tezil also conducted some well known choirs such as “Chorale Inter-Jeune” (Youth Choir) with their culminating song on the Haitian media “Jezi se solisyon” (Jesus is the Solution), an album that he completely wrote and produced. With his backstage type of attitude, Jean Edner Tezil is understood to thrive better as a musical coach, although in occasion such as the “Celebrate Life” Concert in July 16th 2022, he will be on the front stage sharing the anointed singer talent God has granted him.
