He’s been pretty quiet lately but don’t, for one second think Super Jigga TC’s been sleeping. In fact, he says he’s been doing quite the opposite. Jigga- the self proclaimed King of Swag has been working the soca circuit, having partnered with one of T&T’s most talented female vocalists, Destra Garcia to create a show that’s been working well to say the least. Amid all of his recent trips with Garcia and her band, Super Jigga TC told ETCETERABUZZ that he’s got a project he’s keeping under wraps for now- a big one that he’s very excited about.

Like Bonnie and Clyde, they roll across the world with their Soca. Destra and Super Jigga TC.

Terrin Callender is a man who knows music and understands the business of the global music industry. He’s dabbled in many things relative to entertainment but when he jumped into the Soca industry, many questioned his motives. Today, he says while he himself may have been naive in the beginning as it relates to the issue of radio airplay in Trinidad and Tobago, his travels across the world in recent years, because of the Soca profession he now calls a career, has increased his understanding about how Billboard works and how its influence and strength trickles down to the Caribbean diaspora. When DJ’s in 2013 question why soca artistes haven’t been producing soca music constantly, even after the Carnival season in Trinidad and Tobago, Super Jigga TC says it all comes down to dollars and “sense.”… “The industry doesn’t have the support- all the artistes don’t have that support from the DJ’s. There must be a bombardment of music for the genre to be appreciated outside of carnival. Men are focused on getting their shows right for overseas because it’s not like Trinidad – the show has to be different. The people out there expect you to do all of your songs, even the ones that don’t get the airplay here on the airwaves. That’s the music they hear out there, in addition to the ones our DJ’s at home call the hits. But the people who aren’t touring should really be the ones trying to release music, but then again it’s about finances,” he rationalizes.

Super Jigga TC admits it’s a hard thing for a handful of soca artistes to release new music outside of Carnival and then have the task of going up against Billboard artistes like Rihanna, Chris Brown, Justin Timberlake and others.

Outside of the business of music, he says he’s enjoyed working with Destra. Telling us that she is terribly

misunderstood and sometimes painted to be a b*tchy soca star, Super Jigga refuted that, saying instead people in T&T should really appreciate Destra, especially since she’s been the only female entertainer holding down a band on her own for such a long time. “It’s sad how Trinidadians treat her in relation to how the rest of the world accepts her. She really is one of a kind in Trinidad. She’s the first successful female with her own band. She pumps for an hour,” he exclaimed. The ‘Action’ hit maker also told us that over the years he’s noticed that Garcia is a very loving, family oriented woman. With that we flipped the coin- asking him about plans to expand his family. “I’m hoping to have a baby soon but that’s not the case just yet. If Sam does get pregnant though, we’ll keep it very private. I won’t get all Jay Z and Beyonce on the public but we will keep things private until after the baby is born,” he assured.

For now, the former Synergy Soca Star host is preparing for trips with Destra and her band in the coming weeks and added to that, he told us he’ll be returning to cycling after a brief hiatus from his workout routine.
