Nineteen-year-old Queen Ge’Eve will carry Antigua & Barbuda’s hopes into Saturday’s Leeward Islands Calypso Monarch Competition at Anguilla’s Landsome Bowl Cultural Centre, following her victory in the national calypso crown earlier last week.

The young performer’s triumph at the 2025 Antigua & Barbuda Calypso Monarch Competition marked a defining moment in local music, with judges and audiences alike praising her dynamic performances and razor-sharp abilities.
