Well known in his home country and across the Caribbean for his infectious music and flamboyant stage antics,[2] J Prince's music is filled with positive messages tailored for the young, and young at heart.[3]

Life and career

Born and raised in Morne Diablo, a fishing village on the southern coast of Trinidad, Joel Prince started off his career as a disc jockey for a sound system company.
