LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM — November 13, 2026 | Times Caribbean

It’s another proud moment for Dominica and the Caribbean diaspora!

Two accomplished British-born entrepreneurs with deep family roots in the picturesque village of Scotts Head, Dominica, have earned places on the prestigious 2027 Powerlist, recognising 100 of the United Kingdom’s most influential people of African and Caribbean descent.

Music executive Riki Bleau and business investor Antoine Dixon-Bellot have both secured recognition for their achievements in entertainment, investment and entrepreneurship.

Their inclusion comes as Dominica celebrates its 48th anniversary of independence, highlighting the remarkable contributions of Caribbean talent on the international stage.

RIKI BLEAU — A POWERHOUSE IN GLOBAL MUSIC!

The son of Joseph and the late Edmay Caprice-Bleau, Riki Bleau has established himself as an influential figure in Britain’s music industry.

As founder of Since ’93, a record label operating in partnership with Sony Music, Bleau has worked with international stars including Tems, Sam Smith, Wizkid, Popcaan, Emeli Sandé and Labrinth.

His recent ventures include songwriter catalogue transactions reportedly exceeding US$6 million, signing Jamaican entertainer Shenseea and involvement in Vybz Kartel’s UK and European performances.

Bleau has also maintained strong connections with Dominica through the World Creole Music Festival and the development of Bleu Magic Rum, manufactured on the island.

“Being included on the Powerlist is a tremendous honour, especially as someone who is so in touch with my Dominican heritage,” Bleau stated.

ANTOINE DIXON-BELLOT — BUILDING AN IMPRESSIVE BUSINESS EMPIRE!

Making his second consecutive Powerlist appearance, Antoine Dixon-Bellot has developed substantial business interests spanning property, film production, technology and hospitality.

His reported eight-figure property portfolio includes residential and commercial investments across London and southeastern England, including the 52-acre Greenstead Hall estate.

He also founded Mastermind Media, which has produced music videos for artists including Stormzy, Skepta, Lil Wayne and Sean Paul.

His businesses include East London Studios, CineHouse, Cinescope Optics and the Essex restaurant The House by Hilly Gant.

Dixon-Bellot described himself as deeply humbled by the recognition.

“Dominica may be a small island, but its people have an extraordinary spirit, resilience and ambition that extend far beyond its shores,” he stated.

TWO SONS OF SCOTTS HEAD. ONE REMARKABLE CARIBBEAN STORY!

First launched in 2007, the Powerlist celebrates outstanding Black British achievement across business, entertainment, technology, public service and other professional sectors.

The 2027 edition includes internationally recognised figures such as Sir Idris Elba, Emma Grede, Steven Bartlett and City of London Corporation Chief Executive Ian Thomas.

For Bleau and Dixon-Bellot, the recognition represents more than professional success. It celebrates their shared Dominican heritage and offers inspiration to young Caribbean entrepreneurs pursuing opportunities beyond their island’s shores.
