Neil “Iwer” George burst onto Trinidad and Tobago’s Soca scene in 1987 with his hit release “Boom Boom Time.” However, his list of hits to date entitles him to be called “The King Ah de Dance,” “The Big Man in the business, and most popularly known today “The Boss.”

Neil ‘D’ Boss Iwer’ George is one of Trinidad’s cultural icons who has consistently released hits from the beginning of his early career in 1987. Iwer George’s name is synonymous with the Carnival season. Some of his most popular songs include: Yes Iwer, Jump and Dunk, Ah Reading, Carnival Come Back Again, Gimme Ah Bligh and We Reach.

Today he remains one of the industry’s greatest soca artists largely for his style of singing, his hype and his ability to generate overwhelming crowd response. “Iwer” George has influenced the industry with his music and has elevated it by launching a radio station (Soca 91.9fm) in Trinidad which promotes local music and culture.
