Biography based on the life of Mr. Bevon St. Clair On August 18, 1987, a star was born. Bevon St Clair, the eldest of three siblings, drew his first breath in the eastern district of Manzanilla, a community which remains near and dear to his heart. His initial seven years were spent at the Manzanilla Government Primary School. It was at this institution that the seeds of his talents were sown. St. Clair first entered Aunty Hazel’s 12 and Under competition, placing third. And although he was academically inclined, St Clair had a passion and yearning for the entertainment industry. His ultimate aim, even at a very tender age, was to be a recognised celebrity both locally and internationally. And, as fate would have it, he nurtured his dream at the Manzanilla Secondary School, which he attended from 2001 to 2006. He excelled in various subjects and maintained a healthy balance between academics and music. Representing the school in mumerous talent competitions, St. Clair always placed in the top three. In fact, at one time, he was known as the most popular student. In 2014, he auditioned with NYACC for both “Young Kings” and “Stars of Tomorrow”, with his winning rendition “Another Flambeau.” He felt overwhelmed by the success within his music career and acknowledged it was just the beginning of a new chapter in his life. After winning Young Kings, he qualified for the Dimanche Gras Semi-Finals at Skinner Park, San Fernando singing “Another Flambeau” in 2014. The song tough the hearts of many people because it dealt with the crime situation in Trinidad and Tobago. St. Clair used his title, Young King, to build a brand for himself and auditioned for the iconic Revue tent, founded by the late Aldwyn Roberts (Lord Kitchener) at S.W.W.T.U Hall, Wrightson Road, Port-of Spain. The tent is managed by Michael Osuna, otherwise known as “Sugar Aloes”. St Clair’s audition was successful and he remains one of the standouts at the tent. He enjoys nation-building songs, some of which have been written by Christophe Grant. After the Carnival season, St Clair was later contacted by the NYACC to perform at Kings in Concert at the opening of the Lidz Yasu Omawalie Village Emancipation Committee at Queens Park Savannah, Port-of Spain. After his performance, St. Clair was approached by Jaqueline Burgess, who thoroughly enjoyed his performance. She later expressed an interest in becoming his manager. He considered her proposal and eagerly followed her guidance which led him to be the fifth person signed to a foreign record label Universal Music Group a.k.a (U.M.G). The singer then travelled to countries such as the United Kingdom, Czech Republic, St. Croix, Puerto Rico and Tobago, touching hearts with his melodious voice and versatility. He subsequently performed on two separate occasions at the Tobago Jazz Festival (2015 and 2016). After another tremendous achievement, the C.E.O of The Rose Foundation suggested sponsorship for the young entertainer and added to his portfolio, Goodwill’s Ambassador. To celebrate St Clair’s success, a showcase was held on the May 25, 2018 at the Black Box Murray Street, Port-of Spain. St. Clair, the featured performer, was accompanied by Erica Samuel, a former Digicel Rising Star 2008, winner and fellow Manzanillian, 3 canal and others. The married father of three is determined to build an empire and leave a legacy for his generation.
