Standing at over 6ft tall, soca singer  Damian Hypasounds Etienne has commanded the attention of soca lovers across the world since he first hit the scene in 2006. His debut single “Sunshine Girl”, catapulted him into the limelight and into the hearts of a predominantly female following.

Before becoming a widely sought-after artiste known for his sweet lyrics, the entertainer was a deejay thrilling party-goers on the wheels of steel. Since making the transition to vocalist,  he has released a steady stream of hits which have germinated his support base. Favourites like Dutti, Roll It, Sugar Rush, How She Like It and  Dip are staples in his set.

His legion of female fans continues to expand with the slew of hits crafted specifically to keep them craving more. Where many have come and faltered under the one-hit wonder curse, Hypasounds has been churning out top songs which, pre-COVID, kept him on a hectic touring schedule.

Even though the pandemic has slowed the pace of his life significantly, the singer has been finding alternate ways to keep on the grind. Recently the artiste hosted a sold-out birthday party at the seaside Copacabana Beach Club in Barbados. The event capably filled the void left by the cancellation of Crop Over with patrons enjoying appearances by popular acts including Leadpipe, Jus D, and Mole. Clearly moved by the outpouring of support, the performer satiated the attendees’ appetite for a good party with high energy performance.

However, those festivities were not the only tool in his arsenal to satisfy his fans. Through a collaboration with the National Cultural Foundation, the artiste is set to drop his  EP titled “For Her”.  The producers on this project included G6 Production, Jus D,  internationally renowned DJ Puffy, and Hypasounds’ own  BoomMuzique Studio. Though singles Come Nuh, Mizik and Bad Gyal were released earlier  this year, his supporters can expect two brand new songs on the seven-track compilation.

Hypasounds is especially eager for soca lovers to hear his favorite track Mizik which pays homage to his St. Lucian heritage. The singer told Caribbean Entertainment Hub, “During the year I recorded and worked on a lot of songs. I didn’t want to be just releasing singles.”  His plan is to cement the “For Her” project as part of his brand and in the future he will adding more volumes.

The EP will be available on all digital platforms from December 12^th .
