Welcome to another journey inside the kaleidoscope of Caribbean brilliance. In this episode we sit down with an artist whose voice carries the vibrancy of steelpan and the passion of calypso, yet is anchored in a soul that never forgets its roots. She is none other than Lil' Bitts, soca powerhouse, actress, cultural ambassador, and daughter of Trinidad and Tobago.
We had the pleasure of tracing her path through the soca industry, exploring how her training in theater sharpened her stagecraft and allowed her to command audiences with both voice and presence. Lil' Bitts possesses an admirable devotion to her homeland and to Trinidad’s Carnival, “the greatest show on earth,” which has shaped her artistry and her worldview. Her love for dance and other forms of art deeply informs her creativity. Though she rides the sonic waves of soca rhythms with expert precision, she admits that at an early age she was engulfed in everything Whitney Houston. Her love for R&B coupled with exposure to Trinidad’s top brass in calypso and soca shaped the person we now know as Lil' Bitts. What is even more admirable about Lil' Bitts is her intricate knowledge of the entertainment industry and the politics that surrounds it. Lil' Bitts is unique. She is constantly seeking creative expansion. Musically, that has taken form by her working with writers and producers not just from Trinidad, but from across the Caribbean. She has also, hosted TV shows, promoted her own events, represented her country at Carifesta… sigh.. is there anything that Lil' Bitts can’t do?
Through it all, she shares her dreams for the future, her unwavering loyalty to her family, and her deep love for the culture that raised her. This is a story of talent, tradition, and triumph, wrapped in the glow of a woman whose star continues to rise.
This is the story… thus far… Of Lil' Bitts
