Our TOP 5 Female Caribbean Recording Artiste in 2018

The Caribbean is blessed with some of the most talented women in music industry. Today we feature five of our favorite female Caribbean recording artiste for 2018.

Patrice Roberts

Patrice Roberts (born 11 April 1985) is a Trinidadian soca singer.

She came to national attention in 2005 with the huge hit collaboration “The Islands” alongside Bunji Garlin, written by Kernal Roberts and produced by Shawn Noel (Da Ma$tamind), which was used in promotional commercials by the Ministry of Tourism.[1]

It was in 2005 when Patrice Roberts shocked the entertainment industry in Trinidad and Tobago with her talent. Her introduction through a vocal collaboration was with Bunji Garlin,who at that time was in the spotlight. It was her refreshingly soothing and powerful vocals that quickly got her the attention that many established entertainers desired. Very few were able to provide accurate answers about her and her career, appearing mystery like. Patrice Roberts has assumed her position in the Caribbean music industry as a force to be reckoned with.

Music was always an instrumental part of her life and would inevitably become her career. As far as her mind allows her to journey Patrice recollects always being in love with music and singing. It was at the tender age of seven she began taking her passion seriously.Since then Patrice has not regretted surrendering to her passion.

In 2006, shortly after Patrice shot into the spotlight she became one of the frontline vocalists and the only female vocalists in the internationally recognized Soca Band, which at that time was known as Xtatik (now HD). For Patrice her professional career had just begun and she was in full flight. It would be a challenging and difficult journey for Patrice but one that she would embrace and make her own when given the opportunity.

Fresh out of school, Roberts experienced what many would consider “culture shock”; moving from her countryside dwellings in Toco to city lights. Her transition from a calypso consumed lifestyle to Soca meant that the life she was accepting would attract obstacles beyond her understanding, “I had to adapt to the culture, the atmosphere and now compete with established artistes.”

Prior to her collaboration with Bunji Garlin and her alliance with Machel Montano and HD, Patrice had numerous Calypso accolades under her belt. Her journey from then to now was crafted by ace songwriter and producer, Kernal Roberts. The male Roberts was approached by Patrice’s then mentors; Dan Nero and George Stanisclaus for her introduction into the “Soca World.” This is how 2005 began. One of her greatest achievements followed soon after when she was named the youngest female Road March winner for her collaboration with Machel Montano titled “Band Of The Year”. This achievement would solidify her existence in the Soca world and prove to critics that she was more talent than they expected. Her talent has provided her with opportunities to travel extensively throughout the Caribbean, The USA and Europe with more opportunities still presenting themselves.

To understand her career one must understand her struggles, obstacles and successes, a simple word of advice from her to anyone interested in following their dreams is, “Believe in them.” To date Roberts has been recognized for some of her hit singles namely, ‘Big Girl Now’, ‘Old and Grey’, ‘A Little Wine’, ‘Bruk Out’, ‘I am Soca’, ‘Unforgettable’, ‘Tempa Wine’, ‘

Sugar Boy’, Wukkin Up’, ‘Rollin’, ‘Always Be’ and among others.

At the curve of becoming a teenager, HoodCelebrityy relocated to the states. HoodCelebrityy landed in the northernmost of 5 bouroughs in the concrete jungle, New York City, The Bronx. “At the age of 14, I chose to focus on dancing and music”, states HoodCelebrityy.”

The thought provoking question, why the name HoodCelebrityy arises amongst many inquiring minds. HoodCelebrityy explains, “Im a hustler at heart and Ive done it all. I worked in one of the most popular urban clothing stores in the Bronx on Fordham Road, to running around in these crazy streets with my family trying to trap a dollar. Whether it was Clothing, music, or street sh*t, I could move it. At my store I was the girl that would get you right, Hood says with a laugh. All the customers looked towards me to put together that special outfit for the wkd. While at work, I would upload quick 15 second video freestyles that started to go viral. My instagram page started to become very popular at the same time Ive solidified a reputation on the street as the girl not to be played with, thus the name HoodCelebrityy.

t was the summer of 2015 that HoodCelebrityy’s long time friend and confidant, social media phenomenon and recording artist, Cardi B called her up. Cardi exclaimed with question, “I didn’t’ know you did music? Your sh*t is fire!” “From there, Cardi posted my video and the rest is history. I went from 2,000 followers to 12,000 overnight. From Cardi’s post, I got so much love and recognition”, states HoodCelebrityy. The next day, I recorded my first single, “Wine Pon It”and shot the video. That too went viral and from there, it was no turning back. I had to give the people more of me and I wanted to”.

His music motivates and uplifts my spirit and that is exactly how I want to impact fans with my music”, states HoodCelebrityy. “50 Cent is my favorite Rapper of all time. He is creative, smart, and he knows how to stay relevant, and is at the top of his game. I aspire to be just like that!”

HoodCelebrityy’s debut mix tape, “Can’t Believe It’s Just A Girl” is scheduled for an early 2017 release. “The reason for my mixtape’s title is because people hear my music, look me up, and then they say, “I can’t believe it’s just a girl” smiles HoodCelebrityy. They go on to say, “She is too dope to be a girl.” “I don’t try to do what females regularly do, but whatever I put my mind to, I know that I can do it”.

With a sound so well versed and well rounded, from Reggae to Pop music, Hoodcelebrityy has initiated a “new wave” that shes hand crafted, and has added to her flows.
