16. Marvay, “Know The Face”
Sometimes you know a star when you see one, and that’s how we felt when we saw Damian Marvay, or Marvay for short, perform “Know the Face” in Barbados this summer. While this singer is not new to the stage in Barbados, this breakout release made him a household name on the island, taking the People’s Monarch title at Crop Over this summer. It’s life may be just beginning, as it’s now made its way to Trinidad. With some serious vocal chops, and big-time charisma, Marvay is definitely leading the way for Bajan soca’s next wave. — Jesse Serwer
