One of the hardest working calypsonians in Toronto.Great personality. Keep on doing what yuh doing man!!!
I heard that somebody picked up ISLAND GIRL for a sound track in a Douglas Coupland movie. Is this true? Will King Cosmos confirm or deny? Looks like Canadian calypso is looking up.
If Islan Girl has been chosen for a major movie - it could not be from a more deserving artiste.
