One year later, in the Barclay premises, Clive Hunt offered him a stay in Jamaica so as to record a remix of the song La Music, released on his first album.

Pierre, nicknamed Pékah at the time, again chose the option of the studios at the beginning of 1997, so as to record his third opus, Kingston Karma.

Following an intensive consumption of different substances such as cannabis, tobacco, ecstasy or cocaine, a first pneumothorax appeared in his left lung.

Then, he decided to leave for the Canary Islands and Cape Verde aboard his sailboat, before crossing the Atlantic Ocean to reach Martinique.

The following year, he released (under the pseudonym Pékah) Tuff Gong Blues, an album recorded in 2000, simultaneously with Je fais c'que j'veux.
