With her ancestral contralto voice, Inez’s music is inspired by multi-cultural wisdom and rhythms. A 2017 Knight Arts Champion grant recommended by Miami Light Project produced her debut EP entitled MOUN|MOON.

Inez’s children’s show, Ayiti, Stories & Songs from Haiti, was co-produced by Dandelion Artists and sponsored by a L.E.A.P. grant from Miami Theater Center (MTC). It debuted at MTC in 2019 and has since been featured at the 2021 APAP Conference (NYC), 2020 IPAY Conference (Philadelphia), and is touring venues and schools across the U.S. like the Adrienne Arsht Center (Miami, FL), Getty Museum (California) and Wolf Trap (Virginia). In May of 2021, Ayiti was showcased to over 70,000 Miami-Dade county students as part of an arts education initiative by the Miami Dade Arts Education Collective.
