Behind the music

The story so far.

AC Tafari is an Antiguan singer. His official channel describes him as an Antiguan native and, at the time it was written, a 16 year old student at Jennings Secondary School. His early uploads from 2016 include Man A Star and Party Shot, the second listed as Antiguan dancehall. He then competed in the junior soca category of Antigua Carnival, where the Carnival Festivals Commission posted Roll Up Your Bamber in 2017 and So We Jam in 2018. Soca Purge followed as a 2019 soca release. In 2022 he joined Charmpian on the Hey Cutie remix, a bouyon cut on the Bouyon Drill Riddim produced by DJ Flip Tha Boss. More recently he teamed up with Mr Gwada on No Ex Back, a bouyon track on a riddim by J2mo, which has passed 26,000 views. His path from junior soca to bouyon collaborations is traceable through these releases.
