Teddyson
more commonly known as ‘TJ’
was recently on a promotional tour in the twin island republic and shared his
ambitions of partaking in the International Groovy Soca
Monarch competition in February. He stated, “In
addition to entering competitions my goals have always been to make a positive
contribution to the music world, now in particular the Soca industry. Placing
in competitions are fantastic, however, I’m really looking forward to building
further strong connections in T&T as I admire and respect so many of the
artistes, writers and producers in this country”.
According to several local and regional music
enthusiasts and industry insiders, TJ’s latest Groovy offerings make him a
strong contender for the title currently held by reigning champ Machel Montano. In addition to
turning heads his with most recent hit song “Push Back”
which is featured on the ever popular ‘Paradise Riddim’
alongside Montano,
Kerwin Dubois, Nadia Batson and Farmer
Nappy, TJ is still riding strong on the momentum
of his Groovy Monarch winning “Land
of Wine” which was produced by T&T’s own Precision
Productions.
TJ
who was also the first Groovy Soca Monarch of St. Lucia is a mainstay at the
island’s renowned Jazz Festival and has toured the Caribbean region, the US,
Canada and UK. Also, this modest crooner who has been compared to the likes of Krosfyah’s Edwin Yearwood
is musically versatile and can flow from Soca (Groovy and Power), to Reggae,
R&B and even Jazz in addition to being an accomplished keyboardist and
drummer.
With an optimistic attitude, a musical spirit and
two already pumping tunes, Teddyson John plans to ride the wave
of success which he experienced in 2012 into 2013 and beyond. Having shared
several stages around the world with some of T&T’s biggest artistes, this
St. Lucian dynamo is ready to emphatically leave is stamp on the forthcoming
festival season.
