Artist Profiles

Faye-Ann Lyons

Trinidadian-born Faye-Ann Lyons first began singing in 2000. The daughter of soca giant Austin Lyons a/k/a Superblue has made her own mark on the world of soca. She won the Road March title in 2003 in Trinidad and Tobago for the song “Display”. Lyons is only the third female in history to achieve this honour. In November 2004, Lyons received 3 Cott awards - New songwriter of the year, Female songwriter of the year and Song of the year (2003).

Faye-Ann Lyons (like fellow performer Bunji Garlin) seems to have limitless energy reserves. She uses every inch of the stage, speaker tops and even dances amongst the crowd urging patrons to form a circle with her. Such impromptu activity is exciting for all except artist security, who are forced to work overtime. Lyons is aware of the possible stress and responsibility she occasionally places on the shoulders of the boys in black, but consciously attempts to calm the situation by reminding everybody that “…. these are St. Lucian’s, we don’t need security here, Lucian’s are my people… easy now!”

The Topgunner Djs comprising of 40+ radio professionals across the Caribbean provide the raw data for this, the original, Caribbean Music Chart, showing the top 30 songs, getting radio airplay across THE CARIBBEAN, all with some element of Caribbean origin. Our mission in sharing this weekly tabulation is to build awareness of the fantastic talent making music in THE CARIBBEAN. The Caribbean Hot 30 radio show is already breaking ground in 19 Caribbean Islands.
