We’re betting that Bunji Garlin will be the sexiest Soca star to hit the stage when carnival 2017 comes around. Want to wager? He’s certainly betting on himself, so best believe he’s motivated to make it happen.

Fay-Ann seems to be rubbing off on her husband these days, the now internationally recognized artiste having signed up for proper gym instruction in recent weeks. He’s been rocking some bright orange huarache sneakers that are a definite eye-catcher,  and according to Garlin who spoke with us today, getting the right gear could mean the difference between self motivation and a lack thereof.

“Ah done have de rough look. I might as well make it look sexy too,” said Garlin with a laugh. He told EBUZZTT that he’s trying to hit the gym as often as possible and when he can’t make it to the gym, he works out at home. “The goal is really to get back fit, to get better conditioning and to look good too,” he said, telling us that while many would expect that Fay-Ann may have been the instigator, she really wasn’t. In fact, Bunji told us that he made the personal decision to get fit again, and has since been receiving a great deal of support from his wife and friend, Stephan who both double up as his instructors at the gym. “Even when we’re home, Fay makes sure the food we eat is clean. Remember she don’t cook with salt and that kinda thing so that’s great. It’s healthy eating right through. I might have my little moment when I might skate a little, but I’d just go back and burn it out, one time,” said the Viking.

Bunji’s looking fresh these days, rocking orange Huarache’s at the gym.

Garlin’s been rocking the best gym gear- all black as we would expect but he’s been looking good by all accounts. He says this in itself could be motivation for those who tell themselves they need to hit the gym, burn those pounds, but can’t seem to make it happen. “I like gadgets so I try to treat it as though I’m about to do a show or something. So from the watch, to the phone to the headphones to the clothing- I use these things as motivation to get out there. Motivation doesn’t always come easy,” he admitted, explaining that sometimes you have to get the nice gym gear to make it all worth the effort.

“Whatever the case is- not that you’re going out there to show off- but use that as your motivation to go out there and exercise.” 

Bunji is determined to be fit and sexy.

Bunji also recommended making exercise a fun activity with friends, saying that exercising in groups makes the process an enjoyable one. Bunji says he’s enjoying things so far, this even as he prepares to unleash more new soca music ahead of the upcoming carnival season. He’s already released two tracks, “New York Soca Freestyle” and “No Gal”, which’ve both received nods of approval from the public at large.
