Saporta, who married designer Erin Fetherston in Barbados last year,
thrilled the shocked audience with his chart topping hits Good Girl Go Bad and You Make Me Feel.
The celebrity couple, in
Barbados celebrating their first wedding anniversary, met the band there on the
night of their engagement and invited them to play at their Martha Stewart
featured nuptials last May. They were so impressed by NexCyx’s
performance, Saporta decided to return the favour for the band’s biggest show to
date.
“Gabe and Erin are very special to us,” said Kris Clarke, bassist and NexCyx band leader. “We were very happy that Gabe was able to share the stage with us for NeXperience, especially around their anniversary.”

Hundreds of patrons inside the
converted warehouse on the grounds of cricket stadium Kensington Oval partied
with the band for over two hours, enjoying a set of original favourites like
Eternal Summer and In Da Club, and featured performances by some of the
island’s best talent including Livvi Franc, Teff Mayweather, Simon Pipe, Arturo Tappin and Rochelle Griffith.
Saporta told the audience he loves Barbados and was amazed by the
amount of talent he had seen on stage that night. His high-energy, fifteen
minute performance was punctuated with screams of delight, especially during an
impromptu push up competition with keyboardist André Clarke.
