Patrice Roberts is a young Trinidadian, who is rapidly edging her name among the elite in the music industry. Patrice Roberts has been the premier soca artiste in the Caribbean for more than a decade and has established herself as the leading draw at major events in New York City, Miami, Toronto and London and throughout the Caribbean Diasporas. Patrice Roberts is recognized as a leading performer in the soca music genre and is highly regarded as a great songwriter.

Patrice Roberts began her career as early as 1992 at age 9. In 1995, Patrice Roberts and her panel of “back ups”, entered the Sangre Grande Junior Calypso Monarch Competition, in which she placed first. This earned her rave reviews and standing ovations where ever she performed.

In 2000, she was named “Toco personality winner” which brought to her another wave of recognition. In 2001, Patrice Roberts cupped the “National Junior calypso monarch”, “National Junior soca monarch” and National Library calypso monarch, which earned her a chance to perform at the Junior Carnival in Miami. She also performed in Barbados at the Crop over festival where she shared the stage with the likes of Allison Hinds.

In 2003, at the age of 17, Patrice performed at the Royal Oprah house in London, England. Later on that year, she again won the National Junior Calypso Monarch. In 2003, she became the 2nd runner up in both the National Junior soca monarch and the Junior calypso monarch. She also graced the stages of the international Soca Monarch, in which she mesmerized the already sold out crowds.

With a keen aptitude for the performing arts and incomparable abilities for music and dance performance, Umi Jaja Marcano set the foundation for his career in the entertainment industry many years ago as a mere toddler.

Umi, named after an African, tribal word for “Life”, was raised between the areas of Diego Martin and St. James, on the island of Trinidad and was encouraged in many ways by his family members to sing from as early as age three.

While his father, who traveled internationally playing the guitar and the steelpan, instilled in him the principles of musicianship, Umi educated himself on the fundamentals of showmanship by watching music videos and emulating the performance styles of his Idol Michael Jackson.

Although his earliest memories of music range from songs by artistes such as The Jackson Five, Soca singer Anslem Douglas and Reggae Icons Mr. Vegas and Red Rat, Umi’s passion was R&B Music. However, his love for Rhythm and Blues did not limit him from participating in other genres or facets of the arts.
