The 2024 Calypso Monarch is Dezral from the Fire One Calypso Tent. Dezral delivered two compelling performances of his songs ‘De Biggest Gun’, and ‘A Wish For Fish ‘, securing his place as King.

With 7 former calypso monarchs and other extremely talented acts among the list of contenders for this year’s title, patrons and judges enjoyed outstanding performances from contenders, all contributing to a night of high-quality entertainment.

The results for this year’s Calypso Monarch Competition are as follows:

Commenting on his win, King Dezral said “Winning the monarch again is surreal. I was confident in not just my performance, but the quality of my songs. It feels good to have songs that can edge out former monarchs and crowd favourites.’ This is Dezral’s second time claiming the Calypso Monarch title.

The other participating calypsonians include 2023 Calypso King: Ti Blacks, Educator, Mica, Solange, Ti Carro, and crowd favourite, Gamtion.
