Dice after 10th Calyspo win last night<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Five years after his last win, veteran calypsonian Dice has achieved a historic milestone by securing his 10th Calypso crown.<\/p>\n

Dennison Joseph, Dominica\u2019s most decorated calypsonian clinched this victory while competing from spot number 10 at last night’s finals, delivering a mesmerizing performance that solidified his reign as Dominica’s calypso king.<\/p>\n

With his trademark hits “Wanted” and “Bring Money” both penned by his long-time writer Pat Aaron, Dice showcased his unparalleled talent and stage presence, captivating the audience and judges alike.<\/p>\n

In a closely contested battle, he triumphed over the former reigning monarch, Trilla G, who earned second place. Additionally, he outshone two promising newcomers to the National Calypso Competition arena, Shanice and Joy, who secured third and fourth place, respectively.<\/p>\n

The roster of competitors at last night’s finals was stacked with talent, including seasoned veterans like Liberator, The Bobb, Tasha P, De Webb, Checker, and Black Diamond.<\/p>\n

Dice claimed his first calypso crown in 2004 with his hits “Minding My Business” and “Animal Farm.” The following years of 2005 and 2006 saw him securing victory once more. He earned the prestigious title again in 2008, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2017, 2019, and now in 2024, cementing his legacy as one of Dominica’s most celebrated calypsonians.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for exclusive photos and a full interview with the newly crowned monarch as he reflects on his monumental achievement and plans for the future.<\/p>\n
