Roger Hinds or as he is more popularly known, ‘Young Bill Rogers’ is not a peculiar name to most Guyanese calypso lovers. In total he has won four national competitions in his music career, the most recent being the title of Calypso Monarch in this year’s Mashramani Competition and the National Health Song competition a month earlier.

He has travelled all over the Caribbean with a group called Caribbean Vision, which he said promoted “EduCulture” through drama and music. He represented Guyana in Carifesta 2006 and 2008. He also represented Guyana in Suriname in a gender-based violence workshop that was hosted by Caricom and the United Nations Women;
