The following day, June 1, the soca music veteran will celebrate her birthday with a rhythm-filled concert at 8 p.m., featuring local acts DJ Tiko T, DJ Magician, Raquel Oliver and Jah Hem. With a stage set in the resort’s infinity pool, the VIP ticket winners can enjoy her hotly anticipated performance from the beach, Waves Bar or the pool itself.
