Olatunji In The X Factor live shows

Written by: David Lawrence

Caribbean Entertainment Hub congratulates Olatunji Yearwood for making the final of X Factor UK 2018. We are extremely proud not only by his performances throughout the competition but more so, that he remained authentic to himself and his culture. He proudly embraced his roots and demonstrated to the world the beauty and sweetness of the Soca genre. While others from the region who have achieved international mega stardom have shy away from included at least a token Soca song in their repertoire, Ola has chosen to only perform Soca music in the competition. Olatunji says it’s his dream to make SOCA a mainstream genre and is well on his way in achieving this objective.

The Final is scheduled for Saturday December 1^st, 2018. Until then our hearts, hope, prays and best wishes go out to Ola.
