The Saint Vincent Ragga Soca Monarch competition took place on Saturday, July 4, 2026 at Victoria Park in Kingstown. This post covers the Ragga Soca (also known as Groovy Soca) portion of the show, as covered by vlogger "I am living my life."  Tyrique D’Fusion Thomas showed St. Vincent and the Grenadines why his name is significant in ragga soca history. With “Here to Stay,” he didn’t just perform—he reclaimed the crown, unseating defending champion Utamu Bongo Prime Rose and stamping his authority on the genre once again.

As reported by One News St. Vincent, the results reflect a competition rich with talent, ambition, and cultural pride. Ragga Soca continues to thrive because artists like these expand its sound while respecting its roots.

D’Fusion’s message is clear: the crown fits, the music speaks, and the legacy continues.
