Margaret Bovell (Singer/Entertainer), started singing after enrolling in a choir, while still at school, on her native Caribbean island home of Barbados.

Graduating in 1981, Margaret continued in the music industry, entered, and won the popular local singing contest, 'The Richard Stoute’ Teen Talent Contest, and created history by becoming the first female to do so.

This Barbadian beauty, (First runner-up in the 1985 'Miss Barbados Beauty Pageant'), and former female vocalist with the internationally known Barbadian band 'Krosfyah", has also represented her island international, and throughout the Caribbean region, thrilling crows with her warm personality and her seductive voice.

In 1989, Margaret Bovell, aka “Miss B’,  became the first runner-up to the world-famous Barbadian calypsonian  "Red Plastic Bag' in the local Calypso competition during that Islands’  big annual  'Crop Over  Festival' with the songs  ‘ My Child’  & ‘No Apartheid Here’.

In 2002, Carib Disc Records released Margaret’s debut CD ‘The Time Is Right’, Cat# 02 004-2. That album went on to record very satisfactory sales, both at home, and throughout the Caribbean diaspora.

Popular songs from the album included: ‘Ragga Soca Time’ & ‘Start Me Up’.

Over the years that followed, Margaret performed and recorded many songs, which have all enjoyed enormous popularity throughout the Caribbean including:

‘Move’, ‘Hot Like A Fire’, ‘Abuse’ & ‘Feeling Nice Now’.
