Rikki Jai is ah Trinidadian chutney-soca artiste born Samraj Jaimungal in Friendship Village, San Fernando.
The prince of soca chutney, his highness Rikki Jai. Samraj "Rikki" Jai is the most successful crossover entertainer in the world. He has won the Carib Soca chutney Monarch competition too many times to count, and has been the first Indian performer to make his mark on the soca charts with many different hit tunes. Most recently, he's known for his super hit throughout the soca and chutney universe for his song, Mor Tor. Mor Tor was almost a road march contender for the 2004 carnival season and was so popular that superstar Machel Montano also teamed up with his highness to remix the song.
Rikki Jai is also known for his past super chart topers like Scorpion, Dulahin, de River Lime and the song he broke into the scene with, Sumintra. Rikki Jai is unlike all other artists as he was the first to brake down the barrier, and allow space for 'Indian" soca entertainers to be recognized on the same stage as all the other top artists, although to this day no one has been able to reach the level at which Rikki has achieved success. None the less, he's still and always will be the true Prince of Soca chutney music.

Karma- Ravi B n Sexy Tricia
Tricia Hamilton was born Tricia Khandy Andrea Hamilton in the Caribbean island of Trinidad. As a teenager, growing up in San Fernando, "Sexy Tricia" was known as "Sister Tricia" for her powerful performances in her church's gospel choir. Besides Gospel music and Soca music (Soca originally envisioned as a mixture of soul music and calypso, native to Trinidad) she was also influenced by American R&B music.
Therefore when she began her professional music career, it was with the 4 piece R&B vocal band called "Sandosity" in which she was the lead singer. The Mayor of San Fernando saw this promising young star and from this discovery, in the 7th month of her musical career, she was out on her first international tour, performing at the Dallas State Fair in Texas in 2002.
Returning from the U.S.A., Tricia joined the SSL Mellobugs, a chutney band (chutney is a mixture of Soca and Indian music with some Hindi lyrics). While performing with this band, the nickname "Sexy Tricia" began.
"Sexy Tricia" has also performed with the biggest Soca and chutney bands in Trinidad. Her biography includes Atlantik, Karma, TTEC Gayatones, SSL Mellobugs, Roy Cape, Pure Energy and Triple X.
Tricia Hamilton, a song writer as well as a singer, has since worked with some of the biggest names in the Caribbean Carnival scene. Artists include Shurwayne Winchester, Destra, Nadia Baston, Iwer George, Kees, Rikki Jai, Ziggy Rankin, Roger George, Oscar B, Heeralal Rampartap, Adesh Smaroo and Byron Lee.
She has also done many solo shows throughout Trinidad. A performer every year in Kaiso Showcase, Tricia was the 2nd place winner of the chutney Category in the Calypso Tents Competition. In 2007, she placed 8th in the Annual chutney Monarch Competition.
When Tricia decided to concentrate on her solo career, her reply to Adesh Samaroo "Rum till I die", namely "Rum make him lie" was a smash hit in Guyana and she was a featured performer many times in that country. She also represented Trinidad and Tobago in Ottawa, Canada. As a cultural ambassador with then Commisioner Arnold Piggott, she performed in various provinces in Canada. Her winning popularity in Canada resulted in a 12 week contract with JMC Trewayne in Toronto.
Her international credits also include multiple performances in the U.S.A. including Miami and New York. Her career has extended beyond the Caribbean audience with outstanding performances in India, China, South Korea and London.
Tricia Hamilton a.k.a. Sexy Tricia is currently working on her 2009 Carnival Releases and an international collaboration. With her R&B interest, she hopes to become another Caribbean artist to crossover to the major international stage.

Siblings Ravi and Nisha Bissembhar
Nisha Bissambhar - Vocalist
Nisha Bissambhar at the age of 15 made a decision that forever changed her life - a decision to sing. At that point she was still at high-school - a (forth form) student of the Lakshmi Girls Hindu College. From then on Nisha has continued following up her dream as a singer and since then has achieved nearly all heights of her singing.
In 1995 Nisha entered the first ever series of The Children of Mastana where she placed 2nd on a number of consecutive times. A year later she was a grand finalist in Mastana Bahar where she was placed 6th. She was later awarded The Contribution to Youth Excellence by Jamal Mohammed for Children of Mastana. She was then given the task amongst other top local young artistes to judge for the competition. This was done for two years.
She went on to successfully complete her studies at her High School with distinctions in English Language subjects. She continued her education upliftment by assigning herself to a number of studies, mainly computer literacy. She worked at the Republic Bank of Trinidad and Toabgo and at present she is currently pursueing her dream as a radio broadcaster and is a trainee at Radio 90.1 FM.
Nisha does a variety of songs, ranging from Indian to English Soca to Reggae and even a little bit of Rock. She says she loves versatility but with it comes sincere devotion and sometimes even hard work.
In 1999, Nisha's song The Scorpion took Trinidad by storm and was eventually voted as the 2nd best song of the Millennium. She also did three CDs - Music to Make you Dance; chutney Y2K Virus and High Energy, all of which were done together with her home band.
She toured the US and thrilled audiences with her ability to 'change her voice' in accordance of a particular song. Nisha also works in collaboration with Pretangeli's, where the ads are either written or performed by her. Nisha is the only solo female singer at present in the band.
Ravi Bissambhar - Arranger / Programmer
He is one of the most popular male artistes in Trinidad because of his versality and charming personality. He is the youngest musical arranger and one of the most sought after programmer.
Ravi started singing at the age of 13 and ever since this young artiste has just kept on aspiring. Currently Ravi is continuing his studies in Computer Literacy and Business Software after graduating at the North Eastern College in Sangre Grande.
He enjoys being versatile and especially following the footsteps of Kumar Sanu. Dramatically he is a major fan of Eminem. Ravi has toured most of the U.S. and he was the recipient of numerous awards in the children of Mastana and Mastana Bahar.

Bunji Garlin (born 14 July 1979) is a Ragga Soca artist from Trinidad and Tobago. His real name is Ian Alvarez. He married fellow Soca artist Fay-Ann Lyons on December 23, 2006, daughter of legendary Soca singer Superblue [1]. He is also a second cousin of singer Patrice Roberts, who performs alongside the popular Machel Montano [2].
Bunji has won Trinidad's Soca Monarch competition on several occasions; 2002 (tied with Iwer George) with "Down in the Ghetto" [3], 2004 with "Warrior Cry" [4], 2005 with "Blaze the Fire" [5] and 2008 with "Fiery"
Caribbeans most adroit lyricist of the day, Bunji Garlin, is poised to make an explosive impact on the global music arena. Add to his phenomenal lyrical abilities Bunjis astonishing vocal flair and you have an unstoppable force that renders audiences mesmerized from his opening lines.
Hailed as a voice calling out in the wilderness on behalf of the common man, Bunji is one of the few artistes that have successfully bridged the generation gap as well as broken through the social strata, creating songs that explore and address a myriad of issues including crime, discrimination, prejudice, poverty, sexual deviation and political pandering. Of course Bunji also explores the lighter side of living through his songs created just for dancing and romancing the ladies. His unique lyrical escapades into the realm of romance and sexuality earned him the moniker, Bunji Garlin the girls dem Darlin and at the same turn he was dubbed the Fireman because of his claim that he has come to burn all evil with his scorching lyrics. Bunji lives in the hope that his songs will touch hearts and change lives around the universe, playing his role in bringing all of mankind to appreciate Soca and Ragga Soca.
His new album released through VP Records, Global, is another step towards achieving those goals as Garlin has stepped up to a higher level musically. The anticipated album features Bunjis signature blend of dancehall, soca, and reggae. Highlights include stand-out track Brrrt on the Bobby Konders March Out riddim, collaborations with the legendary Freddie McGregor on One Family and hip hop artist Chris Black on Swing It.
As far as Bunji Garlin is concerned, he has thus far only brushed the surface of what he has set out to achieve musically. His desire is to see the soca music of Trinidad and Tobago gain respect on a universal level, taking its place as the most powerful and infectious genre. VP Records will provide this platform of world -wide distribution on his upcoming album Global. It is another step towards achieving those goals as Garlin has stepped up to a higher level musically. Join the journey and be revived.
