David Rudder is one of the most beloved singers out of the twin-island republic of Trinidad and Tobago. He is an icon who gave us some songs that will live on for generations to come. It was back in 1977 that David Michael Rudder joined the iconic Charlie's Roots led by master music producer Pelham Goddard. Charlie's Roots featured two awesome singers in Chris Tambu Herbert and David Rudder. Both singers went on to have careers outside of Charlie's Roots but it was Rudder who first took the nation by storm.
It was the year 1986 when Rudder stepped out of the shadow of Charlie's Roots and won Young Kings, the National Calypso Monarch, and Road March (Bahia Girl)Titles. The nation loved it all, they were mesmerized with classic songs Bahia Girl and The Hammer. David Rudder went on to rule the music scene and toured Europe and North America along the way. We must mention that Rudder's counterpart Tambu Herbert went on to win the Road March crown in 1988 (This Party is It), 1989 (Free Up) and 1990 with 'We Ain't Going Home'.
