The Soundtrack of Carnival: A Love Letter to Soca

Music Moves Me. It’s more than sound—it’s a spiritual experience.

My life is always playing to an internal soundtrack, and some moments are so powerful, they deserve their own playlist. Trinidad Carnival 2025 was one of those experiences.

To every artist, composer, producer, DJ, Mas Band, and music lover who brought this moment to life—thank you. ❤️ Songs like BYE x2, Thousand, and Holiday—and really, the entire playlist—are pure vibes. Whether I’m at the gym, deep into work, or already preparing for the next Carnival, the sweet sounds of Soca pulse through my body, moving me the way they were meant to.

This playlist isn’t just music—it’s a feeling. A culture. A movement.

Let’s connect. If you’re an artist, DJ, producer, or label pushing the sound forward, I want to hear from you. If you're Spotify, let’s talk—because there’s a world of music lovers waiting to experience this energy.

Share the Vibes!

Music is meant to be shared. If you have tracks that capture the spirit of Carnival, hidden gems that deserve more ears, or simply want to vibe with me—let’s connect on Spotify.

🎶 Follow my playlists, share your favorites, let’s Jam and keep the energy going!
