"Ah coming again, to drive Iwer George insane." That is how reigning International Power Soca Monarch Machel Montano declared his intent to retain the crown at the 2012 edition of the signature competition produced by Caribbean Prestige Foundation for the Performing Arts. This year marks the twentieth anniversary of the soca monarch competition and also represents 30 years for Montano in entertainment. To honour his three decades as an entertainer, Montano said a double album, now in production and scheduled for a Carnival release, would be for his fans. He said his band HD has been revolutionising the local music circuit, by releasing new music almost every four days, which was a first for the industry.
