As a young person growing up, music has always been an important factor in my life. My musical career began at the tender age of nine. However, my first song was not recorded until I was 15 years. In 2009, I entered Synergy TV’s Chutney Star competition where I was a finalist. From that point, there was no turning back. At present, I have over 35 songs recorded, which are played on most radio frequencies. Recorded a wide range of songs from Chutney Soca to Bollywood music. I’ve had collaborations with,Ki Persad, Marlon Asher, Arti Butkoon, MakaMillion, Ravi B, Lyrikal & Farmer Nappy.

Multiple grand finalist of CHUTNEY SOCA MONARCH. In 2012 I was awarded "MOST PROMISING ARTISTE OF CHUTNEY SOCA MONARCH" at the prize giving function of CSM 2012 and also the National Chutney Foundation Awards Ceremony. 2020 2nd place winner and 2019 3rd place winner at the grand finals of Chutney Soca Monarch. I've traveled to the USA, UK, Canada & Guyana performing & representing our culture. Won best Chutney Soca music video of the year at the international soca awards in Miami in 2019 for my song 'Chantel'.

Most of my teenage years were spent at the ASJA Boys College, Charlieville where I successfully completed my secondary education. I also studied Business Management at the School of Business and Computer Science.

As a former employee of Win Communications (Winradio / Wintv) and the Street 91.9fm, I have been able to expand my musical knowledge by meeting experienced persons in the Industry. I have also been able to interact on a one-on-one basis with the people who have supported me throughout my musical career.

Currently I'm proud to be part of a young and dynamic team at Lime 101.7fm. A station that gives you all that you need 24/7. You can join me Mon - Fri 3pm to 6pm on the Afternoon Lime and every Saturday 10am - 2pm for your 'Saturday Takeover'.

The 'Saturday Takeover', the name says it all, we 'takeover' T&T and the world, it is said to be one of the most listened to program on a Saturday giving you the energy and great vibes on a weekend

On a lighter note, my hobbies include playing cricket, spending time with my family and friends and doing new music.
