Shurwayne
For Shurwayne, music continues to be life. He’s in the studio daily, mastering his craft, bettering each chord he strikes and fine-tuning the package for the world to see and love. “ I have something coming real soon with a female singer from Jamaica. She’s brand new and she’s hot and people will love this,” said Winchester who’s currently in Jamaica working on a video for the track. He’s also hanging out and working with friend and fellow artiste, Maxi Priest who he’ll perform with this June at the Basia Beat Breast Cancer concert.
Whether with his band or solo, Shurwayne has continued to please fans across the Caribbean, hitting hard with great shows and garnering positive reviews wherever he goes. Recalling his performance at Bacchanal Jamaica where the crowd lapped up every thing he belted out, Shurwayne said, “ That was a great experience. Jamaica’s always great to perform but that was a really special show.”
Now, he’s preparing to head to Berlin and promises Trinis and foreigners alike, a show they’ll never forget. At the same time, the “Paradisin” singer’s taking the T&T flag with him, flying it high as he believes he was born to do. “ Soca is our music, it’s what we represent and wherever I go, I am Soca. I am branded Trinidad and Tobago.”
