Destress, Laugh. Pelf Says He’s Here to Save You on Medical Bills.
When you’re born with a gift, it’s often very hard to keep it tucked away. When that gift comes out of your mouth each time you open it, you really cannot hide it. For Victor St. Louis, his ability to entertain has come naturally. Known as Pelf in the world of Caribbean entertainment, his popularity has withstood the test of time, and even as he circles back on the local entertainment circuit in Trinidad and Tobago, he’s easily checking boxes, ticking off the impact he’s having on people from all walks of life, in the simplest way possible.
Already being referred to in comedy circles as the fastest growing Caribbean comedic influencer online, Pelf has managed to, in a very short space of time, infiltrate the online space, capturing the attention of social media users, on several popular platforms. From TikTok to Instagram and Facebook, his comic relief is short, punchy and engaging. From spontaneous interactions with friends on the street, to planned skits, he has delivered short form content that leaves a lasting impression. “I’m back on the comedy scene and I’m here to save people money,” he said with a laugh. Pelf believes laughter is medicine and understands its value, especially amid the intensity of everyday life, around the world, these days. “People walk up to me all the time and they tell me don’t stop, I’m funny. When I’m on the plane, the air hostesses see me and immediately start laughing when they recognize me. It’s a good feeling to be able to bring joy to people’s heart,” he said. Adding that he knows that making others laugh, is a gift that everyone can benefit from.
It’s not his first Rodeo. Pelf has been a part of the comedy landscape in T&T for many years. His ability to switch character, playing several different people, has seen him host major events and stand toe to toe with comedy greats like Learie Joseph and others on major stages. “Returning to the forefront of comedy now is even more impactful than before because back then we didn’t have social media as a tool to promote ourselves. Now, people from all over the world can see what we do, anytime. We can make people laugh anytime, and that’s important for mental health, depression and other health issues,” he said.

Set to host a comedy show in Trinidad and Tobago soon, the comedian who is also known on the Soca circuit for his artistry, said he is certain that while a DJ may refuse to play his music, a joke shared is something that could never be ignored. “A man could hide your song, but with laughter you and a man will be enemies, but you crack a joke and he will walk away and laugh. You can’t stop laughter at all.”
A firm believer in hard work, Pelf holds his own in various ways professionally, even acting in Bazodee – a movie that featured Trinidad and Tobago’s famed soca star, Machel Montano. Humour has however been a constant part of his life journey and with that tool to his advantage time and time again, he uses it to connect with people from all walks of life. “Tough times are tough times, but you have to laugh to relieve the stress, even if you have to return to the problems of the day. Laughter is the medicine we all need,” he reiterated.
Grateful for his gift and ready as ever to bring joy to the hearts of strangers and friends alike, Pelf is stockpiling those jokes and skits on Facebook, TikTok and Instagram, sharing lighthearted Caribbean humour, with the world. “The key to surviving in these mentally draining times, is laughter first, prayer and faith in God. We have to work hard but we must enjoy life and instead of complaining about things we can’t control, we should thank God for what we have.”
On TikTok, Facebook and Instagram, comic relief is just a scroll over to @VictorStLouis. It’s the medicine Pelf says will save many, a trip to the doctor in the long run.

C.C Teams Up With Hooligan. Artiste Holds The Faith for More Radio Support.
One female soca artiste says she is praying that one day, God will shine a light on the music industry in Trinidad and Tobago, to afford her and other budding artistes, an opportunity to truly be heard. Not the average ‘new artist,’ Crystal Charles, best known as C.C is the frontline singer of the band, Brass 2 The World. She was recruited to join the ranks of the well-respected brass band, in 2025 and says it’s been the highlight of her career thus far. As the spotlight turns from Christmas into another intense Carnival season, the entertainer who’s been in the industry professionally since 2010, is hoping that a larger cross section of T&T will hear her music.
A short season in play, C.C has unleashed ‘Time’ alongside fellow entertainer, Hooligan. It was produced by Okay Pronto out of New York City, and boasts a strong Afrobeat synergy with Soca. “Hooligan and I just built a vibe and wrote this song on the spot,” she said, adding that it was also her very first experience working with Pronto. “The song is an Afro/Soca/Dancehall blend, with a smooth, sweet vibe,” she explained, noting that the aim is to penetrate not just the short T&T carnival season, but also an international audience. Like many others in the world of Soca, C.C has been patiently waiting her turn and with a powerful vocal tone, she knows she is deserving of consideration. “I’ve been in the business for a long time but I took a break for about 6 years and returned to music. I know stepping away when I did, impacted my growth as an artiste but I am back at it and I know that consistency in important to success.”
Describing her musical style as groovy, passionate, emotional, sweet and RnB infused, C.C does not shy away from her feminine energy. “I’d love to work with Nadia Batson, Patrice Roberts and Machel, someday,” she revealed, explaining that she’s been honing her writing skills, building confidence in this area and learning that believing in herself is necessary to success. “’Time’ is both intimate and infectious. I think it’s a feel-good song that’s perfect for late-night rendezvous and intimate relations,” said the singer, making it clear that this one, while unleashed ahead of Carnival, is risqué and perfectly suited for adults.
C.C – the artiste who wears multiple hats as a businessowner and medical professional, is eager to push into the industry and says she sees herself exploring multiple music genres, and delivering several albums within the next five years. “I’ve learnt that consistency is key. I believe that as an artiste you just have to keep pushing and eventually, when your time comes, and God says yes, nobody can say no. I’m just keeping the faith,” she affirmed.
Follow C.C’s journey as she welcomes the thrill of Carnival 2026 alongside Hooligan and as lead singer of Brass 2 The World. “I’m as ready as I’ll ever be for the excitement and the opportunities. I want everyone to follow me on my ride @c.c_theoneandonly on Instagram,” she said.

No Stopping Tizzy. Antigua’s Soca Star Returns to T&T Ahead of Carnival 2026.
Passion and an undying love for Soca music are the elements that propel one of the region’s most enjoyed female Soca artistes, to keep going. Antigua and Barbuda’s Tizzy has never wavered in her commitment to Soca music. From her hit single, ‘Expose’ some years ago, to present day singles released, ‘Fire Marshall’ and ‘Freak in De Fete,’ the vibrant performer is excited to re-establish herself in Trinidad and Tobago ahead of Carnival 2026.
Set to hit the ground running in the weeks ahead in T&T, the entertainer says her return to the spotlight this year, comes after much personal reflection and decisions made on her brand, and who she wanted to be as she moved forward. “My motivation in this business is life,” said the singer, affirming that she believes her journey in the industry can help others. “Singing soca music – performing, is something I’m very passionate about and I want to positively encourage those looking on at my story, and my journey. I want them to see that even through the highs and the lows, I have been resilient and I keep pushing,” she explained.
In recent time, Tizzy has been working dedicatedly on her sophomore album, ‘Jus Ah Come,’ – something that she is proud to have branded solely as her accomplishment as an artiste. “All of the songs that I released before this album were under ElAkru Music. These new songs are all available on all streaming platforms and I must thank my ElAkru Music family for their support and of course my husband Rohan Hector, who is both my manager and producer,” she shared. The ElAkru Music team remains a consistent part of Tizzy’s musical journey. “As a team we’ve gone through the highs and lows of the business but we’ve never stopped believing. Once you find something that you love and you know who you are, then you will keep doing it and you won’t find it worrisome. It won’t be work alone; it’ll also be fun,” she said with excitement.
Trinidad and Tobago’s carnival, the most anticipated highlight of the regional and international Carnival calendar, Tizzy, like many other regional artistes, is eager to meet and interact with the people who enjoy Soca music. “Soca is a powerful, energetic genre. It’s an expression of what it means to be a Caribbean person. We work 365 days of the year and we look forward to this music- these vibrant songs to release our inhibitions, at least once every year,” she pointed out.
Her two singles, ‘Fire Marshall’ – written by Emerge Media and ‘Freak in De Fete,’ which was written by Barbados’ Jus D, are true expressions of Tizzy’s untamed energy. “I’m looking forward to a great carnival 2026 and beyond,” she said, highlighting that 2025 has already been very good to her, following the love she received during Antigua and Barbuda’s carnival. “I released three songs that were all well received in Antigua. “Big Ben,” “Charge Up” and “When Last,” which featured T&T’s Viking Ding Dong, got a lot of love throughout the season. I couldn’t have hoped for better. I think it was the launch for greater things,” said the artiste.
A strong relationship built over the years with bands in T&T like Destra and Atlantik and even D All Starz, Tizzy feels at home in Trinidad and Tobago. She recently stopped in for a few days, making the rounds to radio stations to release her music. Following that, Tizzy has since unleashed the new video for ‘Freak in De Fete’ and says she plans on unleashing two brand new Power Soca tracks in the days ahead.
