Queen of Soca, Alison Hinds first caught the attention of music fans as the lead vocalist of the group Square One. Square One’s hit “Raggamuffi n” won the Road March during the 1996 Barbados Carnival. The next year she repeated that victory as well as winning The Party Monarch, with “Twister”; making her the fi rst woman in Barbados to capture both titles. Alison recorded eleven albums with the band including the hit single “Faluma.”

After taking a break from the band to become a mother Alison returned as a solo artist and began recording and touring again. The fi rst single “Roll it Gal” from her album “Soca Queen” became her most successful release to date introducing her to mainstream radio. “Everything I have done has been working towards this. To have the opportunity to make my own album and bring my music to my fans without watering down my sound or compromising what I am or SOCA is. Nothing makes me happier as an artist to know that I am bringing joy to new fans all over the world.”
