Osei Clarke’s journey to victory in this year’s Calypso competition involved dedication and hard work as he faced the challenge of preparing for not one, but three separate contests this year.

Clarke, whose stage name is OKC, took on the Calypso Monarch, Soca Monarch, and Chutney Monarch and was faced with tough obstacles, including financial difficulties, but credits his success to his team. “… I must say a major shout out to my entire team; KTM, KKR, Cool Jazz. At the end of the day, we pulled it off. So even though it was a tough journey, we did it, we made it,” he told Stabroek News last week.
