A fresh face, engaging vibe and
new musical energy; the newest
female entertainer on the soca scene
is as beautiful as she is talented,
and while this is a precedence set by
Trinidad and Tobago — the land of
beauty and talent, there’s no denying
that this young entertainer is ready
to put in the work.
Tammy Gee doubles up as a DJ
and artist. She has had the advantage
of being a part of the bustling
entertainment industry both locally-
from her early years growing up with
her brother, a DJ, in South Trinidad,
to her years spent in London where
she too assented to the realm of
turntables and music consoles, spinning
the music she came to know
and love from her childhood into
maturity.
For six years, Tammy G who goes
by the sobriquet, President Tammy
on the soca circuit, delivered musically
behind the mixing board. Now,
she is stepping to the front, prepared
to turn heads and enjoy every
moment of her newfound passion.
“I spent six years in London, after
finishing school in Trinidad, and
now I’ve made the conscious decision
to return home. There’s no place
like T&T. Our culture is increasingly
yearned for by people who experience
it, even just once; can you
