Joel Levi Feveck aka Zan, is a multi talented young man, well recognized in the music fraternity for his songwriting skills and vocal ability to perform in various genres. Growing up in the twin island of Trinidad and Tobago his love for music grew from childhood. He was groomed as a young boy in voice training by his mother and so from a very early age the foundation of his talent was well nurtured.
In 1998, at the age of 16 his career started in the music group "Relativity". Their appearances ranged from concerts and model shows to other types of ceremonies, where they performed the national anthem, ballads, calypsos, and such. After graduating high school in 2000, Zan moved on in search of new opportunities. The group "Fusion," was formed with childhood friend Keron Boodoosingh. Out of this came the comical tune "Doubles," which was a well received collaboration by the two. In the words of the artist, "this was an effort to expand my range and give vent to my natural expression."
As a songwriter, his talent speaks for itself and will continue to do so. His joy and pleasure stems from his ability to capture in song, the soul of life and on the other hand the satire of everyday trials and tribulations. This is exhibited in his writings of groovy soca, ballads and the undefined. This songwriter has composed:"Can't Wait" sang by H2O Flow, "Energy" sang by Tony Prescott & Surface, "Love Somebody" and "Wine and Bend Over" sung by Destra and Shal respectively. These songs have helped the artist travel through the shallow waters in his life, to deeper waters where the sharks and icons swim.
Beyond the shores of Trinidad Zan recorded Hard to Say Goodbye with French artiste Flow Fiji in early 2001. He hoped to continue to add many more knots like this onto his belt in this life. The popular song "Same Band," produced by Chasau and written in collaboration with Shal Marshall, was yet another such knot on his belt. Committed to making his mark in the industry, Zan continued to demonstrate his talent. In 2005, the hit song "Watching Woman" produced by Chinese Laundry was a hit track on the number 1 radio station's Soca Switch. This song was a true illustration of Zan as the man on the street who loves to watch the legs of women as they walk by. One could say like many Scorpio men, this artist enjoys the art of understanding and knowing a woman!
Zan's journey in music started in his primary days and has followed him to adulthood. This gave him the inspiration to write "Heart of a Man" which he did in collaboration with the most internationally known soca artist Machel Montano. His peers were not surprised when he followed up by writing "Always Be" commonly known as "Have You Ever Been in Love. This was produced as a duet, which he sang alongside Patrice Roberts, and was the beginning of a growing friendship with the talented vocalist.
Other recognized accomplishments for the artist include the winning of Pan Song of the year for 2006 "Colors Again" and the second place winner in the Groovy Soca Monarch competition with his collaboration song "Always Be" sang as a duet with Patrice Roberts. The year 2006 was a phenomenal one in his life it heightened his personal satisfaction and public recognition.
Life's path has brought him to 2007, where he has since recorded and written "Till Tomorrow (Hold Me Close)" with Patrice Roberts and "All We Need" as another solo rendition. The artist feels blessed to have been awarded the opportunity to travel the world with Machel Montano and Xtatik. From the sold out shows in Madison Square Garden (New York) to the World Cup in Germany, his dream to be versed in world cultures and identities in an attempt to expand his writing experiences, was further realized on completion of his European World Tour. His mind, body, and soul were well exposed, and with Zan's positive reception, we await to see its impact on our musical culture.

Lord Kitchener ("Kitch"), the Grandmaster, was born April 18, 1922, as Aldwyn Robertsin Arima, Trini...
Lord Kitchener ("Kitch"), the Grandmaster, was born April 18, 1922, as Aldwyn Robertsin Arima, Trinidad and Tobago ("T&T;"), into a family of six. His father was a succes sful blacksmith in Arima. Kitch attended the Arima Boys Gov't School between the ages of 5 and 14, when he was forced to leave school following the death of his parents. He started composing calypsoes at the tender age of 10, and also learnt to play the guitar. As a young man, Kitch was so thin and tall, 6 ft. 2 ins., that his sister nicknamed him "Bean." (Remember Jack and the Beanstalk?).
His first job as a singer was in 1936, when he was hired to serenade the employees of the Water Works. He got his first break in 1937 while he was performing in an old time bamboo calypso tent in Arima. In 1938, he ventured into the realm of big time calypso, and in 1939 he produced a hit called "Shops Close Too Early". In 1942, he joined the Roving Brigade, a traveling group of young calypsonians who appeared at cinema houses in different districts in T&T. Kitch was making one of these appearances when Johnny Khan, the manager of a calypso tent, spotted him and recruited Kitch for his first professional tent appearance. He appeared at the Victory Calypso Tent on Edward Street with some of the great calypsonians of the day, such as Tiger, Roaring Lion, Atilla the Hun, Destroyer, Pretender, Caressa and Iere. His song then was *Green Fig*. It became a hit. In those days, Kitch was paid a dollar per night. Kitch has been a major force in the world of calypso since then, destroying all challengers year after year with his incredible wit, humor, and lasting melody.
In 1938, Kitch won the first prize in a calypso competition organized by the Arima Borough Council. He held the title until 1942. At the outbreak of World War II, Carnival in T&T; was stopped until 1944 but the calypso tents were kept opened. It was around 1944 that a friend, Alric Farrell, better known as Pretender, reportedly persuaded Kitch to turn professional and join the great calypsonians of those days --- Beginner, Destroyer, Growling Tiger, Attilla the Hun, Executor, Invader, Growler, and Roaring Lion --- in Port of Spain. Apparently, Kitch followed Pretender's advice. He came to Port of Spain, and sang a calypso he called "Mary, I am Tired and Disgusted," before the critical and exacting calypso lovers of Port of Spain. That calypso took Port of Spain by storm. Realizing the talent of the young calypsonian, The Growling Tiger christened the "Bean" "Lord Kitchener." In 1945, Kitch scored again in Port of Spain with "I am a Worrier."
However, it was not until 1946 that he had his first big success. He had a hat trick consisting of "Tie Tongue Mopsy," "Chinese Never Had a VJ Day," and "Jump In the Line." By then, he had achieved enough stature as a calypsonian to open his own tent. The first full year of the tent was 1947. Kitch called it the "Young Brigade." Some of the calypsonians in the tent were Lord Zigfield, Melody, Mighty Killer, Sir Galba, Spoiler, and Viking. Their only competition was another tent, organized by the Roaring Lion and Attilla, staffed with some of the Calypso giants of those days. This is how Kitchener remembered the opening night:

Fay-Ann triumphs at Soca Monarch
Fay-Ann Lyons-Alvarez made history on Friday night at the National Stadium as she became the first woman to win the Soca Monarch, Groovy Soca Monarch and the bmobile Peoples Choice.
Singing in position No 7 in the Groovy Soca Monarch competition, Lyons-Alvarez danced onto the stage dressed as a Dame Lorraine to render her popular Heavy T Bumper and just worked the song.
During the performance she brought on contestants from the Miss Big and Beautiful Competition as well as the renowned Calypso Rose.
The crowd was moved. She paid special respect to the queen of calypso by inviting the entire crowd at the Hasely Crawford Stadium to sing to Rose before commanding them to wine their bumpers. Rose took full advantage of that and sent the crowd wild. It was an impregnable performance.
In the Power Soca Monarch Lyons-Alvarez, dressed in black and blue, belted out her song Meet Superblue as she again paid tribute, this time to her father, Austin Superblue Lyons who danced around on the stage next to his daughter, hugging and kissing her as she performed.
She then sent the crowd in a frenzy when she introduced them to her baby by putting the microphone to her belly and a child-like voice singing a verse to her song was heard.
After that, it was quite clear that she had the support of everyone in the venue as they chanted Fay-Ann, Fay-Ann in unison for over five minutes, demanding an encore.
Defending champion Bunji Garlin, who placed second, showed support for his wife when he told the audience during his performance he was only there to have fun and to ensure that Iwer George placed third as his wife was already the winner of the night.
Iwer George who came out in a red suit finished off with a red bow tie, performed his song Ready with a stunning stage presentation complete with dancers and large costumes, earning him third place in the competition. Rain threatened to interrupt the show during the Power Soca Monarch segment of the competition but it did not stop Blaxx from giving his all as he performed Tusty and captured fourth place.
Last years Groovy Soca Monarch winner, Shurwayne Winchester placed second in that category with his powerful performance of his song Make it Yours with the help of international reggae artiste Maxi Priest.
Also impressing the large crowd and the judges was Benjai, who sang Drunk Again without any large stage presentation.
He came in third in the Groovy Soca Monarch followed by fourth placed Zoelah from St Vincent who sang Wine Up on Me with the help of sexy male dancers, much to the delight of the female audience.
Hunter, who performed his big hit Jep Sting sent the crowd wild when he introduced his fellow artistes, Anil Bheem, Drupatee and Ravi B to sing with him.
Earlier, the show once again started an hour late despite the assurances that things would be different this year. The promised 1 am finish time never came true as the show continued until after 3 am in the morning.

Trinidad soca artist Machel Montano - Tell me - is one of the latest soca music .
Born in Carenage (North Trinidad), his family moved to Siparia, South Trinidad when he was very young. Machel attended Siparia Boys' R.C., then Presentation College, San Fernando, a prestigious secondary school in San Fernando, South Trinidad where he was in the choir led by Mrs. Cynthia Lee-Mack. Machel first shot to fame as a young boy with the song "Too Young To Soca" while he was still in primary school. In 1984 along with his brother and neighbours the group Pranasonic Express was started and in 1989, the band became Xtatik.
The band developed and was re-invented by its leader Montano several times as Xtatik 5.0, The Xtatik Circus, Xtatik The Road Marching Band, The Band of the Year and many others. Every year Machel has a new concept to keep his band and his performances fresh. From 2007 they are known as Machel Montano HD (High Definition) and he promotes the concept by saying that he is the first human being to go HD. He claims this is a representation of the evolution of his music over the last 25 years and highly improved style in which his music shall be presented to his fans over radio formats, television, and during live performances. He is part of a campaign in Trinidad and Tobago to promoting safe driving - "Arrive Alive". Part of the hype surrounding Montano since 2007 is his HD tour bus, a 20 year old bus from the Public Transport Service Corporation (PTSC) which was re-done and includes a bedroom, bathroom facilities, flat screen TVs, Internet access and expansive audio systems. After the bus' debut in 2007, it was re-painted for 2008, the new images of Machel matching various photos of him from the album artwork of his 2008 CD, Flame on. The bus featured heavily in his videos for "Jumbie" - 2007 and "Rollin/Blazin d Trail" - 2008.

Edwin Yearwood is a natural born entertainer whose accolades and songwriting genius establish him as the undisputed Soca King.
Yearwood, or as his band mates affectionately call him, "General", is a mighty talent. His intimate relationship with melodies and lyrics manifests itself in a creation of hit songs that are not only the very essence of krosfyah, but music that has rocked the hips and soothed the souls of krosfyah supporters worldwide.
From the painfully shy youth who would sing from behind the drum set, to a "Superstar" who can simply utter "Oh gawsh!" and turn a whole stadium into an uproar, Edwin is a prodigy with more than his fair share of talent.
One of the regions hottest vocalists and songwriters, his career started at the tender age of 14, when he won a talent show on his first try. He had the audience spellbound and in tears as he rendered Billy Prestons "You Are Everything To Me". Since then, Edwin has been captivating audiences with his unique vocal styling to Soca music, capturing international attention and collecting awards all too numerous to mention.
In 1995, again on his first try, he won all three titles on the Barbados carnival scene- 1995 Calypso Monarch, 1995 Party Monarch (repeated in 1996 and 2004) and 1995 Tune of the Crop Monarch (repeated in 1997).
In 1996, he was honored by the city of Boston when he was awarded the keys to the city by the Mayors office.
In 1997, Trinidad bestowed on him one of their highest music honors, giving him the award of Best Song for the smash hit "All Aboard", performed by a Trinidadian band.
One of his most recent major international achievements has been winning the "World Soca Monarch Title" from a field of the best soca artists worldwide.
At the 2001 Kadooment Festival in Barbados, Edwin doubled with Khiomal Nurse also of krosfyah and made history in Barbados by winning the Road March title with a slow jam entitled "Sak Pase".
2002 was another memorable year with the monster hit Road Jam. Which served as the party anthem of the year, trapping in our heads that infectious line I Feel Like Wukkin Up.
Edwin is the sexy, charismatic lead singer of krosfyah. He is happiest when on stage and has the ability to communicate music from his soul; an ability he uses in a magical way to reach the very core of his audience.

At the age of eighteen Destra hooked up with a producer at Caribbean Sound Basin and formed the four member group called PSYKE which focused mostly on singing R & B. The group only lasted for one year.
At one point, Destra decided that she must not depend on singing to earn her living. With this in mind she decided to continue with her education.

But Destra came to find out that she was not cut out for the business field and decided to return to singing.
Through it all Destra kept on singing for the love of the music. In 1999 things eventually paid off when Destra sang "Ah Have A Man Already" with Third Base. It just so happen that this was when Ms. Garica was discovered by Roy Cape. Destra went on to become the lead female singer for the Roy Cape All Stars.
She made her official debut in back in 2000 at Iwer George's "Property" party. Since then Destra has been doing what she enjoys most of all singing and performing for the people. Today, Destra is the lead female vocalist with the legendary band Atlantik.
In 2003, carnival in Trinidad and Tobago, Destra came in second place in Road March Competition with the major hit song "Carnival" ft. Machel Montano. Some of Destra's follow-up hit songs are "Whey you want", "Boodie", and "Choo-Choo".

"When I am up there performing I feel the music as I move and I know it's great to be a woman. I reveal in my sensuality. I want women to look at me and say Way To Go Destra, because I am representing them and I look good doing so". Destra Garcia
