Becoming Stacey Sobers

Born out of the "Party Time" movement — responsible for launching a new generation of singers, musicians and dancers in Trinidad and Tobago — Stacey Sobers became a household name as a performer on the local talent show "Party Time" as part of the group "Black by Nature."

One of the pinnacles of her performance career is the ever-popular, timeless hit "Lemme Know When Yuh Comin'," performed in 2001, which propelled her to become a front-line singer for the band Island Vibe. Stacey has been an uninterrupted member of the Divas Calypso Cabaret since 2004 — initially as a performer, and more recently as Manager.

For Carnival 2018, Stacey won the National Women's Action Committee (NWAC) National Calypso Queen Competition with a song entitled "Queens and Kings." Her second offering for that season, a dedication to Skinner Park called "Calypso Capital," took her to the National Calypso Monarch Finals for the first time. Stacey also went on to win the Caribbean Calypso Queen of Queens Competition in St. Kitts/Nevis and performed in Barbados and the UK that same year.

Outside of Carnival, Stacey holds a Masters in Carnival Studies (2022) from the University of Trinidad and Tobago and an Associate Degree in Fine and Performing Arts: Voice from COSTAATT (2019). A regular act at Kaiso Blues with the band Music Connection, she performs music from a variety of genres as this three-piece live band constantly reinvents its offering.
