Early Beginnings in Calypso
The journey of Antigua’s reigning Calypso Monarch, Ge’Eve began in 2013 when the young artist first stepped onto the stage as part of the Junior Calypso competition. Performing the memorable song Say A Prayer, which featured the well-known “Mommy, Mommy” refrain, the talented newcomer captured her first crown that year, setting the stage for a promising career in the art form.
A Winning Streak in Junior Competitions
From 2013 through 2019, Ge’Eve’s dominance in the junior category was undeniable. Over that period, the artist secured an impressive 11 crowns, cementing her reputation as one of the brightest talents in the calypso arena.
Transition to Senior Monarch
The artist made the leap to the Senior Calypso Monarch competition in 2022 with the song Small But Me Tallawa, capturing first runner-up on her very first try. In the following year, they competed but did not place—an experience that only fueled her determination. Returning to the stage, she once again claimed first runner-up, proving her consistency and artistry.
In 2025, the performer reached a new milestone – ‘securing not just one crown, but two’- adding another chapter to an already remarkable career.
What’s Next? Carifesta and International Representation
Looking ahead, the champion’s calendar is packed. The next stop is Carifesta, the Caribbean’s premier cultural and artistic expression slated for Barbados from August 22 to 31where Ge’Eve will proudly represent Antigua and Barbuda on the regional stage. Immediately afterward, she will travel to New York to participate in the Labor Day celebrations, including the highly anticipated Antigua Day event.
Celebrating a First
As the interview concluded, it was noted that this achievement may mark the first time such a feat has been accomplished in recent local calypso history—solidifying the artist’s place among Antigua’s cultural icons.
