Ezra D'Funmachine is a soca act from Gros Islet, Saint Lucia. A Barbados Today review of the Caribbean Fusion show at the 2024 Saint Lucia Jazz and Arts Festival singled out his gruff voice and bacchanal stage antics, and listed Swim My Way, Bacchanal Rampage and Hello Carnival among his hits. During that set he brought out Hollywood HP, Shemmy J and Imran Nerdy as guests. He has been a regular at Saint Lucia's soca finals. In 2022 he was third runner-up in the Groovy Soca Monarch with Drifting. In 2024 he was first runner-up in the Power Soca Monarch with BeYoutiful, and in 2025 he took third place with Miserable. His breakthrough at the top came on 10 July 2026, when he won the Power Soca Monarch with Salute, a song recorded with DYP and Minor on the Detonate Riddim, scoring 384 points against Shemmy J's 383. The Voice described his winning set as a journey of military distinction.
