The simplicity of the music stimulated his senses causing him to hear novel versions in his head. Revamping Christmas Classics for a populace hungry for quality music was the natural aspiration of this gifted musician. After working with talented singers Alain Bossous, Yukica Seymour, Mocca Shabazz, Porsha and Christina Sichta on other projects soon to be released, Hilaire was inspired by their energy and personas to arrange and produce each song for the singer. The result in "Divin Enfant" is an album engendering pride in each artist involved.
