Added to her jazzy interpretations of calypso classics are the heartfelt original compositions by Candice herself, that reflect on love and relationships of all kinds. If you have seen Candice captivate an audience with her interpretation of Rhythm and Blues and Neo-soul hits then you have a sense of the depth of this young artiste.

Candice has lent her beautiful voice to productions of Porgy and Bess (role of Clara) and as Mary Magdelene in Jesus Christ Superstar. She’s won the Caribbean Sunshine Award for Best New Female Vocalist in 2002 and is a recipient of the Ffrench Trophy for the Most Promising Performer in the 2004 Trinidad and Tobago Music Festival.
