Queen Anastasia
The beautiful
& multi-talented Queen Anastasia from St. Kitts will grace the stage on June 27, 2009
for the 1st Annual Kittitian Wild. Queen Anastasia represents the new generation of Calypsonian’s
that offers an eclectic mix of Soca, R&B Soul. Her hot new singles "Falling In Love and Man At Home" demonstrates that diversity, however, her love of the calypso art form and powerful
stage presence are gifts handed down from her very accomplished father, calypso
great King Socrates. Anastasia entered
her first singing competition at only twelve years of age and has worked
steadily to build her career ever since. Queen Anastasia has competed locally,
nationally and regionally—winning or placing in every competition with the
added distinction of being “first” or “only female” in several of her triumphs.
Though she currently holds three competitive titles she is proudest of being
Sandy Point Easteramma Calypso Monarch as this is where both she and her father
won their first crowns.

Though
most famous for her tour de force regional Calypso performances, Anastasia has
her sights set high with aspirations of marketing her next CD to an
international audience. The much-anticipated album will be a collaborative work
featuring her signature calypsos (written by her father) with R&B and Soca
tracks written by the Queen herself. Queen Anastasia manages her singing career
along with the duties that come with being a wife, mother and Senior Vice President
at St. Kitts’ FeeltheVybes.com. She looks forward to the exciting challenge of
joining the ranks of historic and contemporary So-Calypso and R&B greats on
the world stage in the very near future!
