Terrin Callendar has been a part of the entertainment fraternity in Trinidad and Tobago and by extension, the Caribbean region- for over a decade. His sound system background from the early nineties leading into the 21st century has taken him on a journey marked by leaps of faith and riveting success.
From his roots as a DJ/radio announcer- Super Jigga TC, the self-proclaimed King Of Swag delved
into management at the all soca station, Trinibashment 91.9FM- this after he returned to Trinidad from the U.S where he’d studied the business that he was so much a part of.
His role at the all Soca frequency would prepare him for much of what he is today faced with as a full-fledged Soca artiste.
Balancing his roles as a radio personality and a member of management, Super Jigga TC soon embraced yet another calling. A meeting with Synergy TV’s Peter C. Lewis in 2005 led to the birth of Soca Star- a seasonal television production based on the development of budding entertainers, with the most ambitious and best developed becoming the crowned season’s Soca Star- a spin off of the American Idol series. The production’s first success was Rohan “Fireball” Richards- a young, talented male vocalist. Having co-written Fireball’s hit single, “What I Want:” in 2007, the King of Swag is today proud to say that the artiste and the track have received international recognition across Europe and the United States.
In 2010, Super Jigga TC proudly hosts his 6th season of the Soca Star series. In addition to Soca Star, he conceptualised “KarryYuhKey”(Karaoke), another television series aired on Synergy TV in Trinidad- and one that also proven successful.
His musical success since 2009 when he jumped onto the scene with the track “Frontline” coupled with his television persona has intrigued thousands across the world with even locals living abroad, using his slang terms, “ if it ain’t tight, it ain’t right and ‘Common!’” The success of the individual has certainly increased the shows’ popularity and ratings have noticeably skyrocketed across the board. Subsequently, with his personal inclination towards TV rather than radio, the entertainer has since stepped away from the on-air radio persona, giving of himself full time to television and the rigours of being an artiste in the local Soca industry. His efforts in 2010 proved substantial as not only did he brag about his ‘Template” but he told the world that he would be a part of the finals at the International Soca Monarch Competition in Trinidad- an ambitious desire he certainly did achieve.
In September 2010, Super Jigga TC completed his touring obligations at carnivals across the Caribbean and the U.S. He returned to Trinidad with a track produced in the U.S by GodBless Productions. Alongside his Synergy cohort and fellow entertainer, Shal Marshal- he unleashed his contribution on the Flagship medley- a track he called “Speakerbox.” Since hitting the airwaves in late September 2010, the song has penetrated every frequency and remains a part of regular rotation daily, across T&T.
On October 1st 2011, was the opportune time to cultivate the brand further, as such the official move was made where long time industry friend, Dale Lutchman would handle all bookings and business as it relates to the artiste for the year ahead. Subsequently, they began work on building the brand Super Jigga TC. To date, they proudly boast of the latest developments:
* Converse Sponsorship- On November 1st, he was signed to Converse Trinidad as an official Converse Artiste. Converse Manager, Omar Hadeed was excited by the collaboration as it worked in tandem with the recording breaking launch of the all new Converse Store at Gulf City Mall. It is the first design of its kind in South America and the Caribbean. Additionally, the brand is expanding operations regionally, opening its first ever Converse store in Barbados.
* Stag Sponsorship- On November 16th , Super Jigga TC became “the King of Stag” joining the line of Stag sponsored artiste like Bunji Garlin and Santana the Puppet. Stag Beer Marketing Manager, Shane Ramjit is confident about the partnership, as Super Jigga TC has the right elements to fit the brands image. In 2012, the country will experience a new era in the marketing of Stag Beer and its endorsed artistes.
* ((((((Action)))))) Friday- Friday 25th November, 2011 was the world premier for his highly anticipated 2012 release, ((((((Action)))))). With five other releases already for the upcoming season; Bang Bang, Winning, Thunder Wine, Gyal Come Nah (Bar Code Riddim) and Super Wuk (RD Riddim) which have all been doing exceptionally well on the airwaves, release number 6 ((((((Action)))))) skyrocketed into airplay as one of the hottest Soca songs for 2012. It is a completely different vibe, sound and energy. ((((((Action)))))), produced by GBM studios will be his main contender for the upcoming Carnival season.
The future looks bright and promising for this upcoming artiste. God’s willing the new partnership and music will bear fruition.
