The 25-year-old has dethroned her fellow Lindener, “De Professor”, with her rendition which warned the coalition Government to put its house in order.
The mother of one who is also a first-year Communications student at the University of Guyana has been singing since the age of 17. She won the Junior Calypso Monarch in 2011 and went on to place second in the senior category that year.
This year, coming in second was “Precious Pearl” with her tune “Old Age is like a Criminal”, while reigning Junior Calypso Monarch, T’Shanna Cort, with her piece ‘Where The Innocence Gone” copped the third spot. The “Mighty Believer” placed fourth with “Give David some time”.
The winners walked away with over $2 million in cash and trophies. The annual event was exclusively sponsored by Banks DIH Limited.
