The Grenada Tourism Authority (GTA) extends hearty congratulations to Hollice Mapp ‘Mr. Killa’ on placing first in the International Soca Monarch Power category with his epic performance of ‘Run with it’.
He is truly our King of Soca capturing the crown as a Grenadian in Trinidad & Tobago for the first time in history. Mr. Killa who began producing music at a young age has won the National Soca Monarch title on three occasions and placed second in the international competition previously with his hit ‘Rolly Polly’. Since then he has been working hard to push soca music onto the international stage while representing Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique.
The GTA also wishes to congratulate Jevaughn John ‘V’ghn’ on placing third in the Groovy Monarch category with his song, ‘Trouble in the Morning” and Hector Thomas ‘Mr. Legs’ on placing third in the Power category with ‘Wining Challenge’. In addition, the GTA thanks Dingaan Henry and Nyelon Williams, ‘Lil Natty and Thunda’ and Mandella McDonald ‘Mandella Linkz’ for representing Pure Grenada, the Spice of the Caribbean in the competition. All our artists performed admirably using the national colours with recognition for both Grenada and hosts Trinidad & Tobago. The GTA encourages the artistes to continue to promote the tri-island state of Grenada on the world stage.
