AN excited ‘Kady Kish’ is all set to take the stage tomorrow night at the Linden Bus Park where the 2024 Soca Monarch competition will be held.
The bubbly songstress recently told the Guyana Chronicle that she will be performing her song “Juicy, Juicy”, a high- energy song which she described as being comfortable in her own skin and all about having a god time.
She added that eight years ago she started her music journey, gravitating towards Soca and was able to gain recognition when she competed and won the National School Children’s Calypso Competition in 2014.
According to her, she was encouraged to sing more by leader of Fame Band, Reomo Bowen.
She told the Guyana Chronicle that, when she first competed, she was attending Covent Garden Secondary School and she realised that she had the kind of voice that could leave people mesmerised.
Kish added that, along the way, she looked up to local artistes such as Jumo, Big Red among others and has had some collaborations with a few to promote her music both locally and overseas.
Recently, she made her debut on the international scene when she did a collaboration with Peter Ram in Barbados for the “Better than Me’’ song/video and performed at the Dem Rock Music Awards.
Kish has been recording songs in New York for the past two years and has had many successes on the international scene thanks to her agent, Sharon Karim, who remains by her side.
The young musician told the Buzz that she is among the 13 finalists competing for this year’s Soca Monarch title and she feels ecstatic knowing she can pull a crowd to gain support.
With her girlish charm, her deep voice and down-to-earth personality, Kish reported that she grew up singing. She said it all started in church and she feels happier with Soca as that high-energy kind of music is quite appealing to her.
She has already produced 14 songs, her favourite being “Soca Baby” which resonates with her true persona as an entertainer.
Kish is a young musician from Georgetown and she is hoping to re-introduce herself to the local audience tomorrow night in Linden to maximise opportunities and to have fun at the same time.
“I feel good about myself…I am not boastful at all and just a down-to-earth kind of person who is full of energy and always willing to bring out the best in others,” she said.
Kish related that her musical career has been quite an experience so far, but she is in the process of establishing her very own home studio to assist other local artistes and to bring out new talent.
“I am always going to be singing. When you love what you do, you cannot stop but I will be doing a lot more behind the scenes to promote my music and other local singers. I want to be that role model to encourage others to see the best in themselves,” she said.
