KES the Band

Kes the Band—led by Kees Dieffenthaller—is a Trinidadian soca powerhouse since 2005, known for hits like “Wotless” and “Hello.” Renowned for genre-blending innovation and electrifying live shows, they’ve made history in Central Park and Toronto and released the boundary-pushing album Man With No Door.

Lyrikal

Lyrikal (Devon Martin), Trinidad-born and U.S.-raised soca artist, rose from church choir to global stages with hits like “25/8” and “Cloud Nine.” Known for energetic Carnival anthems, humanitarian work, and over 70 releases, he’s a cultural ambassador spreading soca’s vibrance worldwide.

PUMPA

Dennis “Pumpa” Liburd, a St. Kitts-born soca artist raised in St. Croix, rose from dancehall beginnings to soca prominence with hits like “The A List” and collaborations with Machel Montano. Known for high-impact performances, he received the 2024 Caribbean Music Awards Impact Award.

Trilla-G

Dominican artist Trilla-G (Gael Jno Baptiste) is a rising Bouyon star and 2023 Calypso Monarch, known for the hit “Someone Else” and performing amidst a symbolic USC 2025 run. Recently, he released the Carnival anthem “RAGS” with Skinny Fabulous and Shelly.
