Denyse Plummer is a calypso singer from Trinidad and Tobago. The blue-eyed daughter of a white father and black mother, she initially had trouble being taken seriously as a performer in a genre traditionally seen as Afro-Caribbean, but was eventually recognized as a leading calypso performerDenyse Plummer is always a burst of energy when she ascends the stage. She has been successfuly churning out hits after hits since her debut in 1986. Before entering the calypso world however, Plummer was well known as a pop singer at intimate pubs and hotels throughout the country. Her debut in calypso was bitter sweet since she found herself at the end of an unappreciative audience at Skinner Park who hurled scores of oranges and toilet paper rolls at her during a performance. But Plummer weathered the storm and now has many achievements to prove it, including multiple Calypso Queen titles. She is the first female calypsonian to ever win the Young King competition and has made it to Calypso Monarch finals in 1988, 1989, 1991. But, more recently (in 2001) took home the coveted title for the first time. Denyse Plummer is only the 3rd female ever to win in the history of the competition. ..................................................................This past Carnival season, Sally Sagram was a back up singer for the former Calypso Monarch Denise Plummer and she was the only chutney star featured in Ladies Night Out. An extremely talented singer who has travelled extensively, Sally is one of the most sought after chutney singers in the country. She was on the forefront on the chutney arena with the Spread Pal Crew of St Helena. However, one year ago she parted ways with the band to pursue a solo career. Going solo was my only option at the time. I had to increase my repertoire and include some pop, rock and R&B songs for my fans out there, she explained.
