Fresh off his victory in this year’s Junior Calypso Monarch show, young calypsonian Lemar ‘The Irish Kid’ Irish, has released a music video for the song which won him the coveted title.
The track, titled ‘I choosing Calypso’ speaks to the young singer’s love for the artform, which led to him to compete for a fourth time in the Junior Calypso competition before finally being crowned King.
Irish represented emerging powerhouse school the St. John’s Academy based in Portsmouth.
The 2014 Miss Teen Dominica, Chari Peter, is also a student of the SJA.
The song was produced by Krishna ‘Dada’ Lawrence of Cotton Grove Studio while the music video was shot by Chevon Ambo of Ambo Visuals and edited by Bertist Jeffers.
Give that child a 4 year music scholarship to some university He’s brave, lovable and his song makes sense. He’s writing poetry in his song think “Hamlet, Keats, Shakespeare, Maya Angelou, our local poets…Phyllis…. and singing…Great talent.

Congratulation King Irish Kid. Job well done!
This video is a good initiative in illustrating and elucidating the young artist’s verbal message.
It also presents the artist to an audience that would otherwise just be limited to the audio record.
Congrats Ambo Visual for the initiative and the support you have extended to young talented youths in the districts. Keep up the good work.
I trust that as King Irish Kid continues to Aspire he will in turn inspire other youth to do the same.
That kid is really amazing. Looking good for the future of calypso in Dominica.
This kid looks so jolly in his videos it’s unreal.
Irish just looking at the way u move and the way u sing I see Lord Kitchener in u and that’s a great thing seems like u remain true to the art form.
That is the Best video i have seen.This chevon Ambo person impress me.The Bertise jeffers editing is super,that is a well done job.Now that Irish Kid;i can only expect the best for that Kid he got talent.From the frist time he sang, and it seems that the song was too big for him,i knew he could carry himself,and he have done that.This Kid is comming; look out Dominica.

Congratulation to the Irish Family, you guys have done well, in grooming your youngster to touch lives even with this artform. God bless him in all his future endevours, Go for it Lemar, and aim even higher next time around!!!
