Biography of soca star Machel Montano launched in Antigua and Barbuda<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Elizabeth Makhoul, Chairman of the Antigua Barbuda Festivals Commission, delivered heartfelt remarks at the official launch of “King of Soca,” a biography of acclaimed Trinidadian soca artist Machel Montano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the event, Makhoul warmly addressed attendees, highlighting her friendship with Montano, spanning more than three decades. She described their connection as one rooted in mutual respect, shared vision, and unconditional friendship, transcending the boundaries of music.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Makhoul paid special tribute to Elizabeth “Lady” Montano, the author’s mother and biographer, commending her crucial role in shaping Machel’s successful career. She praised Lady Montano\u2019s skill in chronicling the journey of nurturing her son into a global cultural figure.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

“This book, ‘King of Soca,’ is not only Machel\u2019s story but your legacy in motion,” Makhoul remarked, acknowledging Lady Montano’s dedication to fostering her son’s talent with discipline and cultural pride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflecting personally, Makhoul spoke about Lady Montano\u2019s influential role in instilling integrity, grace, and a sense of purpose in Machel. She characterized the book as a testament not only to Machel\u2019s accomplishments but also to his mother’s unwavering vision and dedication.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

“Tonight is more than a book launch; it celebrates a legacy built beat by beat, moment by moment,” Makhoul concluded, describing Lady Montano as “the crown behind the king.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Official Remarks
Book Launch \u2013 King of Soca: Machel Montano<\/em>
By: Elizabeth Makhoul<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Good evening, everyone,<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My name is Elizabeth Makhoul, but to my friends, I\u2019m simply Lisa. And to so does this incredible Lady I am here to introduce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is truly an honour to stand here tonight to be a part of this official launch of the King of Soca, book here in Antigua and Barbuda. A book about the man that shaped the sound of soca, and also its soul and spirit, Machel Montano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, I want to take a moment to lift the author the matriarch of the Montano\u2019s legacy. Elizabeth \u201cLady\u201d Montano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lady, this book, King of Soca<\/em>, is not only Machel\u2019s story, but also your legacy in motion. You managed to capture, with care and brilliance, the journey of the boy you raised into a global icon. Through your unwavering love, discipline, and vision, you gave the world more than a son you gave us a cultural ambassador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You nurtured raw talent with discipline, infused it with cultural pride, and anchored it in faith. You shaped a man who walks with grace, who speaks with purpose, and who lives with integrity. A man who doesn\u2019t chase fame, but who lives fully, intentionally, because a queen raised him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Machel\u2019s path is a living testament to what happens when a mother <\/em><\/strong>sees her child\u2019s light early and commits to protecting it, polishing it, and helping it shine on the world stage. You taught him to stand tall, whether in shadow or spotlight, and because of that, we are all standing taller with pride today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, sharing this journey is also deeply personal. Machel and I have shared over 30 years of friendship, a bond formed when soca was still carving out its place in the world our connection has always gone far beyond music. It’s a bond built on deep respect, shared purpose, and unconditional love, a friendship that has become family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tonight is more than a book launch. It is a celebration of a legacy one built beat by beat, moment by moment. King of Soca<\/em> is more than a biography; it is a living archive of passion, perseverance, and purpose. It tells the story not just of the artist, but of the man, a man who has walked in his divine calling with boldness and humility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lady, through it all, we know: this greatness was no accident. It was destiny, guided, nurtured, and believed in by a mother who saw not just who her son was, but who he was meant to become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So tonight, Lady<\/em><\/strong> we say thanks you for this Master peace. The<\/p>\n\n\n\n

crown behind the King.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you.<\/p>\n
