BET To Showcase International Talent With First-ever Soca Cypher

Written by: Playbook MG

New York, NY – Songbird Melly Rose, producer Stadic, and Travis Harris, Producer of Social Media at BET, present the first Soca Freestyle. The program spotlights six diverse Soca artists, including Nessa Preppy, Erphaan Alves, Sekon Sta, Preedy, Mical Teja, and Melly Rose. The special segment premiered on BET Jams Wednesday, March 2nd.

Creative management by Travis Harris, Stadic, and Melissa “Melly” St. Rose made for the perfect complement to the artists’ flowing freely on the riddim. Stadic, who also hosts the show with DJ Ana on the turntable, produced the record, and Lee Aleong produced the video filmed by Ten Global Media. The Soca Freestyle was produced and filmed at Mahogany Ridge in Trinidad’s picturesque North Coast.

After noting the lack of representation in the international market, the team created a platform for their musical peers. The trio wanted to reach even more audiences by highlighting where the music has grown. One of those places is Trinidad, home of many talented artists like Fay-Ann Lyons, Patrice Roberts, Nailah Blackman, Machel Montano, and Melly Rose. The BET Cypher usually takes place in October every year. Last year they extended the event to include reggae culture. That cypher showcased ZJ Liquid, Shenseea, Koffee, Skip Marley, to name a few.
