FIRST FEMALE SOCA MONARCH IN T & T
Faye-Ann Lyons was born in 1980 in Point Fortin, Trinidad. She began her singing career back in 2000.
Faye-Ann Lyons makes history as she becomes Trinidad and Tobago's first ever female Soca Monarch. Not only did she manage to take the crown away from husband Bunji Garlin (the 2008 defending champion), she is also the biggest winner ever in the history of the event. Lyons goes home with three titles; Play Whe Groovy Monarch, bMobile International Soca Monarch and People’s Choice. Votes were cast by text message by 15,000 viewers at home. Lyons was the favourite of 60 per cent of all who voted.
Lyons now nearly eight months pregnant, honoured the beauty and culture of Trinidad and Tobago with her stage show. Contestants of the 2009 Big and Beautiful pageant modeled on stage during her groovy performance of Heavy T Bumper. She then introduced veteran Calypso and Road March Queen Calypso Rose to the ecstatic audience. In the power category, Faye-Ann was clearly the star of the night, being one of few artistes who were able to provoke a wild response from onlookers.
