Archived: Terri Lyons Defying Detractors, Says Her Truths Needed to Be Told.
Did Terri Lyons take a jab at her sister Fay-Ann? She says people seem to think so. She also admits that her trials have made her stronger.
She says she’s not being blackmailed, neither has she stepped on anyone’s toes. In an interview on urban frequency Boomchampions 94.1FM, last week, Terri Lyons- the daughter of Austin ‘Superblue’ Lyons, and sister of one of the most outspoken entertainers in Trinidad and Tobago, Fay-Ann Lyons, said her latest track, ‘I Am Lion’ speaks the truth of her journey in the music industry. She however noted that many seem to have gravitated to the track, thinking that its words are an attack on her elder sibling.
The song has been receiving widespread commendation and already the young mom and vocalist of the all female band, SASS, has been booked for the fete many artistes hope to be considered for – Army Fete. She will also be a part of the youth fete- Soca Connect, which is being hosted by the urban frequency Boomchampions 941FM. Lyons said the song, which was written by Nadia Batson, explains the difficulties she’s faced and highlights her strength in an industry that has been truly tough on her. Interviewed by fellow artiste, radio personality, Jahmoun Mendoza, she was told that each year, among all her releases, there is always one track, that could make it to the top of the deck. Jahmoun however continues by saying, “it never does.”
Terri Lyons neither admits or denies that the song has anything to do with her strained relationship with sister, Fay-Ann Lyons.
Lyons noted that she’s been doing background vocals for many years and she’s been labeled by many, as just that- a background singer. “You know what? All these trials have helped me to be what I am now. A Lion. Strong!,” she said, her words cutting like a knife. She said she thanks God for the good and the bad and understands now that by holding on to the negatives, she had been keeping herself down. “You just have to let God be,” she said, adding, “I started to say, ok… that door close, thank God for that. That could’ve come with good trouble. Let me take the long road.”
Lyons has two additional singles set for release in the coming days, one of which was produced by St. Vincent and the Grenadines super producer, Kubiyashi and written collaboratively by Lyons and St. Vincent’s Skinny Fabulous. She said the single is called “Recruit.” On the heels of her interview on the urban radio station, her market value immediately skyrocketed. A video posted to the station’s Instagram page, showing the young entertainer holding her son Mathias on her side while controlling her vocals with a sense of ease, as she serenaded her fans, was viewed by thousands and received nothing but love.

New ‘Jamrock’ Documentary Celebrates Unforgettable Moments. Cruise Returns to Jamaica After Hurricane Melissa, This Year.
Ahead of its 11th annual voyage in November, Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley’s Welcome to Jamrock Reggae Cruise shares its story through a new film. VIBE premiered All in the Same Boat, a documentary directed by acclaimed filmmaker, Reshma B and produced by Boomshots TV that traces Marley and his manager Dan Dalton’s brainchild from a bold, outsider idea into one of the most culturally significant movements in reggae and dancehall today.
With over a decade’s worth of unforgettable moments pulled from the last 10 voyages, this 30+ minute documentary captures the spirit of a global reggae community built on shared identity, resilience, and reverence for Jamaican culture. It features iconic performances, real conversations with the artistes and DJs, and the heartbeat of it all: the “Jamrockers.” These are die-hard reggae lovers from over 40 countries who pull up every year for one reason – to feel that irreplaceable connection to Jamaican culture and keep the Marley message of “One Love” alive.
Having successfully navigated challenges including extreme weather and a global pandemic, the Welcome to Jamrock Reggae Cruise continues to thrive. Its 11th staging will return for its annual voyage from November 11th to the 16th, sailing from Miami aboard Norwegian Joy.
Stacked from foundation to future, this year’s lineup brings together reggae and dancehall’s most influential voices: Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley and Stephen Marley (Traffic Jam Set), Burning Spear, Sizzla, Capleton, Beenie Man, Protoje, Barrington Levy, Elephant Man, Junior Reid, Lila Iké, Ding Dong & the Ravers Clavers, Tony Matterhorn “Man on the Moon”, Gyptian, 450, Richie Spice, Ghost, Mr. Lexx, Professor Nuts, L.U.S.T., Sister Carol, Sevana, Flourgon, Johnny P, and Jemere Morgan are confirmed.
The cruise’s famed Sound Clash at Sea will return alongside powerhouse sound systems including Stone Love (Geefus), King Jammy, Silverhawk Sound, Rory Stone Love, Renaissance Sound, Federation Sound, Warrior Sound, Rampage Sound, Kingston12 HiFi and Souljah1 Muzik, preserving a cornerstone of Jamaican music culture in its most authentic form.
Jamrock is a Premiere Reggae Event
The Jamrock experience has evolved into the premier reggae event at sea—one that continues to redefine how the culture is celebrated on a global stage. The five-day experience continues to immerse guests in the full spectrum of Jamaican life—from Nyabinghi sunrise sessions and sound bath meditations to dancehall workshops, fitness programming, and curated culinary offerings led by acclaimed Chef Lumley. A new addition this year includes a live theatrical production by legendary playwright Oliver Samuels, adding yet another layer to the cruise’s ever-expanding cultural canvas.
Following the impact of Hurricane Melissa in 2025, the cruise will return to Jamaica with renewed purpose, maintaining its distinction as the only chartered cruise with two Jamaican port stops. That commitment translates into tangible impact, generating millions annually for the island’s tourism and cultural economy while reinforcing a direct connection between the music, the people, and the place that birthed it.
As All in the Same Boat makes clear, Welcome to Jamrock Reggae Cruise is a movement with its own rhythm, one that continues to bring the diaspora home, while inviting the world in. Since its inception in 2014, the mission remains the same: to create a space where reggae lives, breathes, and connects us all.
The documentary made its debut during the 10th annual cruise and later screened at Art Basel in support of hurricane relief efforts led by the Marley family’s Ghetto Youths Foundation. Damian Marley and Dan Dalton were executive producers of the film.
