Founder's Profile

D'Journe Arthur
Chief Executive Officer

ThaVibes Inc.
Young, Fit and Ambitious

Over a decade of experience in Information Technology & Software Development.


Super Powers:

Solution focused thinking, visual thinking, old-fashioned discipline, advanced critical thinking, attention to detail, pattern recognition, strategic planning & adaptive creativity.

Kryptonite Flaws:

1) Seeing things in detail makes me bad at summarizing, it takes extra effort for me to refine my thoughts into concise statements.

2) When listening to others, I dissect all things in accurate detail which can be helpful when creating solutions but come off as aloof when others are seeking emotional validation.

D’Journe Arthur – Change Agent for Global Media Transformation

I am D’Journe Arthur, born on November 21st, in the vibrant embrace of Trinidad and Tobago. I am a software developer with experience in digital marketing, business management and operations. I have operated several businesses from Cinematography in real estate, tourism and small business marketing, social media management, social media content creation, retail storefronts and consultancy. My journey has led me to a sacred mission at the helm of ThaVibes, the home of the independent creator and a beacon of change in the world of creatives.

Armed with the lessons of life from entrepreneurship and an education from Bishops High School and other Institutional Certifications from various universities and corporate entities, my story took a detour from the ordinary. Deep within, after many years doing cinematography in the advertising space & helping local film makers in production, I sensed the struggles of independent creators globally after seeing it locally stifled by a system of gatekeepers. Thus, ThaVibes was born, igniting the fire that illuminated a new path, a new way for creators to be seen, heard and paid.

ThaVibes is not just a platform, it’s a spiritual awakening, a calling to break down the barriers that hide the brilliance of diverse narratives.

I stand before you having flipped the script on the traditional streaming service model. We have created everything that is needed for the mainstream takeover of independent creators. ThaVibes is not just about content or A.I, it’s about emotions, connections and the soul-stirring power of storytelling. ThaVibes transcends borders, connecting users with narratives that deserve to be heard.

The path ahead is guided by a vision of a world where every storyteller, irrespective of their origin, finds a sanctuary to share their truths. A world where users stream independent content freely and creators earn a living. ThaVibes will help you tell your story.

My journey is our journey. Let’s embark on the path of dragons together, where the power of stories becomes a force that transcends time and space, beyond the business, beyond the numbers, it’s about creating a haven for dreamers and believers.

Honorable Moments

United Nations Development Programme-Tobago Innovation Challenge Finalist:

 In the cosmic dance of innovation, I answered the call of the Tobago Innovation Challenge hosted by the United Nations Development Programme. 

 Among 103 submissions from across the globe, only 8 were chosen to stand on the cosmic stage by the United Nations. I was one of the finalist.

Developer’s Hub Challenge by Ministry of Digital Transformation:

 The universe then called  me to the Ministry of Digital Transformation’s Developer’s Hub Challenge. A divine convergence of minds to bridge the gap between developers and government stakeholders in Trinidad and Tobago. 

The sole Tobagonian chosen, I embraced this cosmic connection to weave technological solutions that resonate with the soul of the nation.

United Kingdom Trade Partnership (UKTP) International Trade Center Journey:

 The United Kingdom Trade Partnership (UKTP) extended its hand, giving opportunities to improve my start-up and entrusting me with the mission to succeed and help foster the development of Caribbean Startups. 

I navigated the Fintech Islands 2024 with the UKTP team, a harmonious voyage towards the future of innovation and financial technologies. I continue to work with the UKTP via workshops, training, further opportunities offered and correspondence with their representatives.
