Trinidad and Tobago is home to tremendous talent. From all walks of life, and in variations that span music, theatre arts and visual arts, the country’s creative aptitude is endless. Zebulun is one of Trinidad and Tobago’s entertainers on the cusp of international promotion. Reggae, the sound that announced his entry onto the music scene in the 2000s, the entertainer is now rebranding, reconnecting and making a major move for international stardom.
With songs like ‘Fake Love’ and ‘Better Will Come’ a part of his music catalogue, Zebulun, whose real name is Marcus McIntosh, says he is eager to return to the forefront of music. “I had to take some time off and now I’m rebranding, and I’m teaming up with some great people in the US,” he said. “I’m signed with ROC Nation Distribution for three albums, five singles and five videos,” he explained, adding that his new collaboration allows for global streaming as well. “I’ll also be working with Coda Music app (@codamusicapp), which is one of the newest and largest streaming companies in the US,” said Zebulun. Owned by Randy Fye and Russell Gaskin, the app is described as a human- first platform that ensures users can enjoy genuine music without the interference of Artificial Intelligence. The app also boasts over 130 million songs. “This streaming giant in the business will now form part of my online footprint. I was warmly welcomed and I’m very proud to be the first international/Caribbean act to be signed to Coda Music streaming.” said the artiste. International artistes a part of the Coda Music App listing include, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Wiz Khalifa, Snoop Dogg and Eric Clapton. Already a powerful contender on the streaming scene, Coda Music is quickly making inroads to become a leading streaming company in the United States, potentially taking outrunning Spotify
Passionate about delivering music that’s enjoyed by people around the world, Zebulun proudly looks forward to his international partnerships as a Trinbagonian artiste. “These powerful partnerships took place from Trinidad and Tobago. It was important for me to see things through from our shores, to show the youths here that they can make it too,” he said. His company, Bella Music, is a partnership formulated with a close friend. Together they plan on signing other artistes out of Trinidad and Tobago with a view to exporting local talent around the world. “On November 20th, my first release will be distributed by ROC Nation and streamed on Coda Music app
Spotify, YouTube and Apple Music. “It’s on the raunchy side – definitely something for the ladies with the goodies,” he laughed. The track was produced by Jamaican producer, Wizical- a major name in dancehall, with production done for artistes like Skillibeng. “My new single will be available on Coda Music app on November 20th. Let’s make history T&T; Be sure to go stream it,” urged Zebulun.
Plans afoot to promote his music in the US, Canada, the UK and even Africa, beginning in March 2026, Zebulun is excited and anticipates positive feedback from his supporters and friends at home in T&T. “It’s an extraordinary feeling to be doing something I love and to be receiving the support I need to make it happen the right way. My album release party will be in Trinidad no matter what, so I’m looking forward to sharing that information with my people when everything is finalized.”
For now however, Zebulun excitedly moves closer to his dream, harnessing his creativity and passionately pushing into the unknown. “As an artiste out of Trinidad and Tobago, I really wanted the attention for not just myself, but also my country. I did this project like no other projects out of T&T and in ten years, I hope when people look back on it, they’ll applaud the effort and the wins. I’m building legacy and I’m doing it in my own lane,” said the singer.

Destra Delivers Powerfully at Reflections.
“If this sharing that I’m doing touches anyone, I’m truly grateful. None of us are perfect. Some days you’ll feel good, some days you won’t, but it’s all part of the journey. Sometimes what you’re looking for is right on the horizon, and the moment you give up, you miss it. If my testimony makes anyone feel something, then my work here is done.” – DESTRA GARCIA
Trinidad and Tobago received a musical showcase of spiritual awakening yet again this past Saturday, at Destra’s ‘Reflections: Sound. Spirit. Surrender.” The event took place at Queen’s Hall, St. Ann’s and proved to be a truly inspiring and uplifting musical experience.
From the onset, the show set a standard that fans of good music with powerful lyrics, would rave about for weeks. David Rudder – a cultural icon of Calypso music out of Trinidad and Tobago, welcomed the audience as he hit the stage first delivering the very fitting, ‘High Mas.’ It was a powerful blessing no doubt – something that would lead into a seamless spiritual production. He was subsequently joined on stage by Destra, something that created a full-circle moment that drew immediate emotion from the audience.
Known for her unmistakeable vocal ability, Destra took her audience on a carefully curated musical journey, opening her set with Free Again before transitioning into slowed-down, soul-stirring renditions of some of her most beloved songs, including Love Somebody and Fly and with each performance, she revealed a different layer of her artistry, offering vulnerability, reflection, and strength.
One of the night’s most touching highlights came as Garcia shared the stage with her daughter, Xaiya, for a heartfelt duet of The Prayer. Beginning at the piano, Xaiya gently set the tone before joining her mother in song, creating an intimate moment that resonated deeply with the audience.
The production, which was creatively directed by Zara Bartels and Isoke Edwards, also showcased the incredible talent of father and son pan duo Martin and De’jean Cain as well as the Maria Regina Grade School and St. Joseph’s Convent Port- of- Spain choirs, whose vibrant and polished performances brought a refreshing, youthful energy to the stage. Gospel artiste, Nisa joined Garcia for a powerful duet of Bridge Over Troubled Water. She also performed her original composition Make Me Over, adding another layer of spiritual depth to the evening.
As the show built toward its finale, Garcia delivered a commanding rendition of Ella Andall’s Bring Down the Power, followed by classic hymns including A Little More Oil in My Lamp. This climactic segment was elevated by the presence of traditional belle dancers and African drummers, creating a rich, cultural fusion that brought the audience to its feet. Beyond the performances, the overall production, brought to life through Bridgette Wilson’s choreography and Atiba Borde’s costuming, stood out for its seamless execution, immersive ambience, and thoughtful storytelling, reinforcing Reflections as more than just a concert, but a transformative experience.
Reflections certainly delivered a powerful blend of music, filled with deep messages and meaning. In what is a very spiritual season, Destra, through the delivery of ‘Reflections,’ has carved out a space for inspiration and connection within Trinidad and Tobago’s cultural landscape – something that many would agree, is a necessity more than an option.
