Mister Grand International T&T – Suveer Umesh Ramsook
Twenty-five-year-old Suveer Umesh Ramsook is a Trinbagonian who was born in St. Joseph, Trinidad, part of the twin-island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. He grew up in central Trinidad, where he spent all of his childhood.
He attended school at Couva East Government for O’ Levels, and Presentation College, Chaguanas, for A’ levels. He studied Sciences while there.
This talented young man, who is about to present Trinidad and Tobago on the international stage, grew up playing sports such as cricket, football, cycling, and swimming. After graduating from college in 2015, he studied PADI (Professional Association of Diving) open water and advanced diving, then ADCI (The Association of Diving Contractors) Commercial Diving Course at Underwater Works, Trinidad and Tobago.
In 2016, he graduated as an Entry/Level 1 Commercial Diver. He worked for OTSL (Offshore Technologies and Solutions Limited) in Sea Lots, Port-of-Spain, Trinidad but presently he is a creative director of a production company, and he also creates content for a number of brands in his country.
However, Ramsook describes himself as a new generation of dream achievers who was born with the enthusiasm to achieve anything he sets his mind to. He also calls himself a typical island boy who loves anything to do with nature and the outdoors.
With his good looks and charm, while as a teenager, his aunt convinced him to do a photoshoot and to create a portfolio, which he sent to advertising agencies. He also posted same on social media, and it was then that his full potential was discovered.
Since then, he has worked with photographers in the Caribbean, USA and Europe. He was featured on billboards and commercials in Trinidad and Tobago. He walked in fashion runways in Trinidad, Tobago, Guyana and New York.
In 2018, he was featured as a model for NBA superstar and USA’s professional basketball player Carmelo Anthony’s ‘MELO-MADE’, the athlete’s fashion clothing launch at NEW YORK FASHION WEEK summer collection.
In fact, in December 2018, the young man became the first male representative of Trinidad and Tobago from Trinidad at Mister Supranational’s Competition in Poland.
As a model, it has been extremely tough, but he has a management team and it helps him schedule his day, which makes it easier for him.
Although a busy schedule, he enjoys acting, which allows him to “let my creativity run wild”. Apart from the fashion and film industry, his interests lie in sports and health and fitness, namely cricket and football.
He hopes one day to break into the film industry in Hollywood as an Indian-Caribbean actor. But while that is in the making, he intends to travel the world and be able to “continue what I am doing on a much larger scale”.
In addition, he foresees himself being an entrepreneur primarily around the film and fashion industry, to create a platform for others in Trinidad to thrive. Starting a family within the next five years is also on the cards.
Only recently, the young man co-hosted the Miss, Mr and Mrs India/Guyana Pageant that was held at the Ramada Princess Hotel.
A closer look at this budding Hollywood actor, his greatest weakness is procrastination, and since he works well under pressure, he took up the challenge to complete all the tasks thrown at him in a timely manner.
His strengths would obviously be his confidence, competitiveness, and his ability to adapt to any situation. He also has the ability to form conversation on any given topic. This young man is passionate about success, love, happiness and his family.
With the pageant Mister Grand International a few weeks away, he is preparing himself mentally and physically, which means hitting the gym twice daily, dieting, practising his runway walk and taking care of his skin.
With respect to mental, preparations, he is putting himself in the right frame of mind for the pageant, and also adopting an alter ego to bring out the best in himself and represent his country to the best of his ability.
By doing this, it means he has to represent himself wholesomely: by showing his true personality, being comfortable in his own skin, and being able to open to the other competitors.
During the competition, he intends to represent other men by trying to break the stigmas and stereotypes about men in pageantry, and hopes that by representing his country, he would be able to do so.
There are no expectations. The Trinidadian with class and brain believes that expectations lead to disappointment, and he prefers to be open-minded and open-hearted.
