Carnival GT Mix – Princess Anisa & Terry Gajraj

Posted on July 6th, 2010 by admin in carnivals | 4 Comments »

Before singing, Anisa danced Indian and Chutney music. She won the 1995 National Mashramani Competitions in Guyana for the 14-17 age category, though she was only 13 at that time. This is where she recieved the name “Princess”, and it has stuck with her ever since.

Singing Soca, Chutney, Reggae, Filmi and everything in between, her versatility has enabled her to sing with Dil-E-Nadaan, JMC 3Veni, Angels Band, Karma, Wave Band, Ravi Sookhoo & N2, El Sadiek and the Sugar Cake Girls, and so many more. She has shared the stage with everyone in the business, including Hitman, Rasika Dindial, Alison Hinds, Rikki Jai, Anand Yankarran, Sonny Man, The Tradewinds, Calypso Rose, and so many more.

Today Princess Anisa is the lead Female singer for The Supertones Band, NYC’s #1 Party Band, managed by Terry Gajraj, her mentor. Her music has taken her to Toronto, Montreal, Florida, New York, Atlanta, Chicago, Guyana, London and more… now she is ready to see where the Music takes her next. For 2009, she has big plans to complete her debut solo album and tour more than ever with SupT Band, being one of the many musicians contributing to our West Indian culture

Terry hails from Berbice, that part of Guyana that gave us such LEGENDS as Dr. Cheddi Jagan (former President of Guyana) and Rohan Kanhai (leader in the Sport of Cricket); so too, Terry is a leader in the field of music & is the unofficial goodwill Ambassador for Guyanese Music & Culture.

Terry Vivekanand Gajraj started singing as a little boy in the FYRISH ROAD Mandir where his Aja (Grandfather) was the Pandit (Priest). Terrys Dad & Uncles (cha-cha) taught him to play various instruments such as the Dholak, Dantal, Harmonium, Keyboard & Guitar.

Terry is affectionately called the GUYANA BABOO after his biggest hit in 1992 that brought him international acclaim.

Terry is Guyana’s most charismatic and distinguished singer. Since his first record Soca Lambada was released in 1989, he has gone on to release over 25 more albums and has had number one records on all the Chutney charts in the Caribbean, North America and Europe. The 1990′s have undoubtedly been his decade, and the new millennium promises even more great things to come. Here are some brief highlights of an eventful career.

- Guyana’s most RECORDED artiste (29 albums and hundreds of songs over a 15 year span).

- Guyana’s most TOURING solo singer (performs in all the major cities & countries including Surinam, Holland, England & Spain). One of his most prestigious shows was at Wembley Stadium in London.

- Guyanas most CONSISTENT performer has performed non-stop every single week, every single month & every single year for the past 15 years.

- The 1st Chutney Singer to have his own WEBSITE (thanks to Chico Khan) to promote Chutney music worldwide.

- Terry has represented Guyana @ all the major CARNIVALS in the world including Labor Day in NY, Caribana in Canada, Miami Carnival, Nottinghill in London & the Mother of all Carnivals – Trinidad & Tobago (Spektakula).

- Terry was the first singer from the Caribbean to perform @ the Indian equivalent of the Grammys – the Millennium BOLLYWOOD Music Awards!

- He is one of Guyana’s most VERSATILE singers and does everything from Bhagans, Filmi, Chutney, Soca, Calypso, Reggae and Ballads. The ballads on his #1 selling “Sweet Love Songs” were a sensational success & still a hot seller!.

- The only Chutney singer from Guyana to perform with ALL the top names in the SOCA/ CALYPSO arena including the Mighty Sparrow, “Hot Hot” Arrow, Machel Montano, Calypso Rose, Byron Lee etc. etc.

- Terry considers himself honored to have performed with LEGENDS such as Sundar Popo, Sonny Mann, Ramdeo Chaitoe, Kries Ramkhelawan, Rikki Jai and celebrated Indian performers Babla and Kanchan.

- Apart from being a prominent singer, Terry stands out from the crowded singing field ’cause he’s also a MUSICIAN. He has composed and played all of the music, including Guitar, for some of his songs including the hit Tun Tun Dance
