Eye Unit: Happy Birthday Slammer Cutter!

Slammer Cutter and Nurse Karen at 2009 Soca Monarch Finals in Trinidad

As you know, I don't live in the Caribbean, but I'm a true lover and supporter of my culture. There is so much beauty, talent and attitude. The world can't ignore us, thoough our region is so small and cute.

Here in Toronto, we are lucky to have a mix of people from all over the world. Among our Caribbean residents, we kinda mix and mingle in spite of our differences. It's one family, and I'm VERY proud of that.

Slammer Cutter is a Trinidadian who lives here in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area). He's the kinda guy who would never pass without smiling and saying something to brighten your day. So, it's my pleasure to big up a member of the Toronto family who has been working to make his impact on the soca world for a while now. He's been networking and recording with producers in St. Lucia and Grenada, in pursuit of that elusive thing we call success.

If you're unfamiliar, he's the guy who gave Trinidad that big tune "Hangover" for Carnival 2009. The song was produced by fellow trini Kerwin Du Bois, who also lives here. Soca City...you better recognize!

He's been working the soca soil for a few years, and finally he's starting to get his shine. So tonight, I'm wishing de man a very happy b-day!

Lots to be proud of Partna!

Enjoy this video "MASH UP" from 2006!



Love and Soca,

Nurse Karen
