“Farmer Nappy”
Internationally acclaimed Trinidadian soca star Darryl “Farmer Nappy” Henry celebrates over 30 years in the soca music industry and his rich legacy as one of soca’s top entertainers of all time continues to grow. A few years ago, he earned the “Calypso of the Year” award for his blockbuster groovy soca hit “Big People Party,” from the National Action Cultural Committee (NACC) in Macoya, Trinidad, in December 2014. Farmer, as his fans affectionately know him, also placed second runner up in the International Groovy Soca Monarch and Road March competitions during the 2014 Trinidad Carnival season. As he enters the new 2019 season...Farmer stands in his own, hard-earned and much-deserved spotlight as a solo artist.
....Farmer Nappy shot to international fame when he was voted as MTV Iggy’s “Artist of the Week” in March 2012, following a weeklong voting contest that placed him against other artists around the world. You Make Me…Surrender was also reviewed by the international music site and received an incredible 4 out of 5 stars, gaining him critical acclaim in the mainstream music industry. His single “Surrender” further broke barriers as the renowned New Yorker Magazine streamed it for their mainstream audience to vibe to what they termed as “a comprehensive sound of the Caribbean.”
Farmer Nappy scored his breakout hit with “Chippin’” (With Meh Own Woman), back in 2008....“Chippin’” became a mega single within the global soca community.
