Vincentian performer ‘Skarpyon’ stung the competition and ran off with three awards last Saturday night at the Fair of the Year at the Chamber of Commerce car park.

Skarpyon won the Song of the Year award and Collaboration of the Year award for his song ‘Leave Me Alone’ with Soca Artiste Jamesy P at the Hairoun Beer/Magic Gate sponsored event. He also took the Best Ragga Soca title with his song ‘Lights Down Low’.{{more}}
