Machel Montano M World

Over the past 26 years, the single constant in Machels everchanging, stellar career has been his trailblazing approach to TTs indigenous soca music. Through his various fusions, which include everything from performing with marching bands to collaborating with Grammywinning reggae artists, Machel has worked tirelessly to establish soca, calypsos energetic offshoot, as a viable entity that can impact beyond TTs internationally renowned carnival celebrations.
Born in Port of Spain, the capital of the oil rich island of Trinidad, on November 24, 1974, Machel has already made great strides in moving soca towards the mainstream. The former child star made history in March 2007 as the first soca artist to sell out two backtoback shows at New York Citys Madison Square Garden and he returned to the Garden on March 28, 2008 for another sold out affair. The MSG shows, which earned rave reviews for their innovative use of carnivals elaborate masquerade tradition and seamless incorporation of TTs various musical strains, including calypso, Indian chutney, and the countrys national instrument the steel pan, also solidified Machels reputation as a consummate showman who can dazzle any crowd, anywhere, not just in a carnival setting. Performing at Madison Square Garden is a goal that I always had, says the soca superstar. But we didnt just come and sing; we brought the culture of TT to one of the most prestigious venues in the world.
He hopes to conquer the musical mainstream as skillfully as he has commanded the carnival/soca circuit since the 1990s. To facilitate this mission, Machel will base himself outside of TT for several months and focus on recording songs that will solidify socas presence in the crossover market.
