Born on November 26, 1982, Ricky T first tasted commercial success with the 2006 soca hit, which also made him a Power Soca Monarch finalist and led to his first of four consecutive Road March titles.

“Container” would prove to be the warm up when one year later; Ricky T released “Pressure Boom”. With the song, he would place third in the 2007 Power Soca Monarch and win his second Road March title. Like a soca tornado “Pressure Boom” would also barrel him to Trinidad and Tobago where he remains the only Saint Lucian to have represented the country in the hyper competitive Power Soca Monarch.

“Pressue Boom” also brought him to the attention of Machel Montano who invited Ricky T to join his Trinidad tour and later his first concert at Madison Square Garden in New York, the first time soca music had been a headline act at that world-renowned venue. Ricky T would follow the success of “Pressure Boom” with the 2008 hit “Wheel and Come Again” with which he would win his first of three Power Soca Monarch titles, first of three Caribbean Soca Monarch titles as well as his third consecutive Road March title. He would also again represent Saint Lucia in the Trinidad Power Soca Monarch.

In 2009, Ricky T again won the Power Soca Monarch and Road March titles, this time with “Like a Jumbie”. One year later, in 2010, he would retain his Caribbean Soca Monarch crown with “Cya Stop It”.

Vowing early on in the 2011 Carnival season to win every single soca title, Ricky T would start his date with destiny with “Indian Girl” which secured him his first Groovy Soca Monarch title. Two days later he would win the Power Soca Monarch and Road March titles with “Mad Ting”.

Undoubtedly the most successful Saint Lucian soca artiste to date, Ricky T is also the most toured with concert appearances throughout the region and the wider world including Martinique, Barbados, St Croix, New Jersey, Texas, Canada and the UK.

In 2012, he released “Mosquito” on the Stratosphere Muzic Riddim of the same name, coming in second in the Groovy Soca Monarch and “Everything” with which he came in third in the Power Soca Monarch competition. He would also release “Chanting” alongside Mongstar, Q-Pid, Ambi and Mr Killa from Grenada.

Ricky T began his 2013 Saint Lucia Carnival campaign with “40 Days and 40 Nights” on the Stratosphere Muzic Riddim of the same name alongside his younger brother Ambi, “Lucian Bacchanal (Oh Na Na)” on the Dutch Productions/Stratosphere Muzic Jump Over Riddim with Marie-Anne and “Junkie Bacchanal” on the Stratosphere Muzic Riddim of the same name, a duet with Mongstar. Months later he would release the power soca track “Mass Attack” on the Stratosphere Muzic Rampage Riddim followed by another groovy song, “Going Down De Road” on the Stratosphere Muzic Jump Over Riddim.

And one week after signing a deal to be the face of telecoms company Digicel 2013 Carnival campaign, Ricky T would also release the power soca song “Plenty Mash Up” on the Dutch Productions/Stratosphere Muzic Rebirth Riddim.

In early June Ricky T would qualify for the Groovy Soca Monarch final with “40 Days and 40 Nights” and one day later the Power Soca Monarch finals with “Mass Attack.” While focused on competition he would also continue to tour extensively performing at every major event for Saint Lucia Carnival 2013 namely Cooler Lime, Piton Rev Up, Colour Me Red, Sexy in Black and SOS.

On Saturday July 13, 2013 Ricky T was crowned the Groovy and Power Soca Monarch winning both titles as he had in 2011. Days later on Wednesday July 17, his power song “Mass Attack” was also named the winner of the Road March title.

Weeks later, Ricky T would sign with Saint Lucian record label Stratosphere Muzic. The label is owned and operated by producer Courtney “Curty” Louis with whom Ricky T had worked exclusively with in 2013.

In late August 2013, the Saint Lucian Soca King left the island for New York part of a Saint Lucia government contingent to promote Saint Lucia Carnival during Labour Day activities in New York. The same night he arrived in New York, Thursday August 29, Ricky T closed down Caribbean Woodstock, an event that also featured other Caribbean artistes. Days later on Saturday August 31, he also performed at Carnival Mania, an event produced by noted American DJ and promoter Dahvid Levy and held at the renowned Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY.

Ricky T would continue to perform throughout Labour Day 2013 including on Sunday September 1 at an event at the Saint Lucia House and on the Saint Lucia Truck during the West Indian Day Parade on Monday September 2, 2013.

Ricky T would return to Saint Lucia to work on the music video for his title winning songs “40 Days 40 Nights” and “Mass Attack”. In October, he headlined the annual Oktoberfest concert produced by the Windward and Leeward Brewery.

Ricky would continue releasing music for Saint Lucia Carnival 2014 including “De Pavement” off the Dutch Productions/Stratosphere Muzic Bacchanal Overdrive Riddim in early June 2014.

Ricky released three songs in the latter part of June 2014. First, “De Truth” off the Dutch Productions/Stratosphere Muzic Black Assassin Riddim followed by “Bad Company” for which a music video was also produced. The song was a collaborative effort with Trinidad Soca Monarch Shurwayne Winchester.

His third release was the groovy number “Don’t Let Go (I Am Soca)”.
