Archived: President Gee Steps Up! New Female Artist Ready to Conquer.
A fresh face, engaging vibe and new musical energy; the newest female entertainer on the soca scene is as beautiful as she is talented, and while this is a precedence set by Trinidad and Tobago- the land of beauty and talent, there’s no denying that this young entertainer is ready to put in the work.
Tammy Gee doubles up as a DJ and artist. She’s had the advantage of being a part of the bustling entertainment industry both locally- from her early years growing up with her brother, a DJ, in South Trinidad, to her years spent in London where she too assented to the realm of turntables and music consoles, spinning the music she came to know and love from her childhood into maturity.
For six years, Tammy Gee who goes by the sobriquet, President Gee on the soca circuit, delivered musically behind the mixing board. Now, she’s stepping to the front, prepared to turn heads and enjoy every moment of her newfound passion. “I spent six years in London, after finishing school in Trinidad, and now I’ve made the conscious decision to return home. There’s no place like T&T. Our culture is increasingly yearned for by people who experience it, even just once; can you imagine how those of us who are from here and migrate for one reason or another, really feel?” she asked.
Jumping into the ‘J’ouvert’ foray, the vibrant Southerner teamed up with 4Tune Productions on a single called, “All Kinda T’ing.”
In true Trini fashion, President Gee delves into storytelling with an honest rhetoric and zestful spirit. Coupled with the rhythm’s near monotone expression, the vibe of a good J’ouvert morning chip through the streets, can almost be felt. “J’ouvert is a very special part of carnival and while most artistes tend to give the people music for the Road March and fetes, I felt it was important for me to start off by contributing to that element of our culture that’s unique and in some ways, really kicks off the beauty of Carnival- the mas,” said the artist.
Tammy is taking her music in slow, but carefully calculated stride. She understands the competition faced in the Caribbean music arena and is up for the challenge. “I’m patient and hard working. I’m prepared to push hard and hone my craft. I’m getting my feet wet for 2020, and beyond that I can guarantee, there’ll be no question as to my dedication to delivering soca,” she assured.

Terri Lyons Expands. Artiste Shows Immense Creativity on New RC Mas Monday Wear.
There’s no box to be held in. Terri Lyons is proving that as she moves into the Monday Wear market, partnering with RC Mas ahead of Carnival 2027.
The reigning Calypso Monarch Queen of Trinidad and Tobago and multiple time Queen of Queens, on Thursday, revealed her creative ability in the mas making sector, sharing her design, ‘Purple Paradise’ – a carefully created design that’s all hers.
The entertainer told Ebuzztt she had the idea and went to the masterful, Kinaji Couture, admitting that Kinaji is a force in the market. “She does a lot of bathing suits and prototypes for bands locally, regionally and further abroad. I knew she could do it and she did execute it perfectly. I just added the flowers,” said Lyons.
In 2027, RC Mas will bring Mystical Garden to life and with the band’s theme considered, Lyons’ floral embellishment makes it abundantly clear that her creativity is disciplined and mindful. She shared her process exclusively with Ebuzztt, highlighting the time taken to design with pen and paper before sharing with Kinaji who brought it all together seamlessly. “This was a lot of work. I sat and drew it all out and I stuck every flower and the diamond studs myself,” said Terri, before adding, “I ain’t doing that again,” with a laugh. The artiste said she’ll have extra hands on board to assist in future.
