Antigua’s rising Soca sensation, Young Lyrics, is having another breakout carnival season, and his momentum isn’t slowing down anytime soon. The artist, known for his infectious energy and crowd-moving anthems, has been a standout figure on the local scene and is now making waves beyond the shores of his homeland.
On Friday, July 25, Young Lyrics will make a quick but powerful stop in Montserrat for a highly anticipated performance marking another regional booking on his growing résumé. The artist was booked as part of a special summer event on the Emerald Isle, a nod to his increasing regional popularity and the magnetic pull of his carnival hits.
“It’s important for me to represent Antigua wherever I go,” Young Lyrics said ahead of the trip. “Even if it’s just for a night, I want Montserrat to feel the full energy of what we’re doing at home. But trust, I’ll be right back in time to mash up the road for the opening of our carnival.”
Indeed, the timing couldn’t be tighter. The moment his Montserrat performance wraps up, Young Lyrics plans to head straight back to Antigua, ensuring he doesn’t miss a beat of his homeland’s Carnival Opening Day on Saturday, July 26. His dedication to both his craft and his country is earning him high praise from fans and industry insiders alike.
Already one of the most talked-about names in this year’s carnival season, Young Lyrics continues to wave Antigua’s flag high literally and musically. His hit singles such as “A Plus Whine” are dominating local airwaves and playlists, and his dynamic performances are delighting crowds wherever he goes.
With regional bookings on the rise and a strong homegrown fanbase behind him, it’s clear that Young Lyrics isn’t just having a good season he’s cementing his status as one of Antigua’s premier cultural ambassadors.
As the carnival vibes heat up, all eyes are on Young Lyrics as he enters the finals of Antigua’s Groovy Party Monarch competition, where he’s expected to bring the same high-energy performance style that’s made him a standout all season.
One thing’s for sure: wherever Young Lyrics goes, he’s taking Antigua with him.
