Aditya Seepersad won the first ever Chutneymusic.com CRC Rajkumar (Prince) 2022 title. Unfortunately, no princesses (females under the age of 18) entered the Chutneymusic.com CRC 2022 Rajkumari competition.
This meant that Daddy Chinee successfully defended his title that he won in similar fashion in CRC 2021.
His song “Jadoo” which is hindi for magic can be used to describe his all round performance which was magical.
Camille “Ranji Baby” Ranjitsingh won the Chutneymusic.com CRC 2022 Rani Title by split decision. The judges were impressed with her elocution of her song “Chamkay“.
The song also advocated that we don’t have to abuse alcohol to have fun which is in stark contrast to norm topics chosen by chutney soca artists.
Ranji Baby also won Best New Artist in the Chutneymusic.com Awards 2021.
Joel “Connector” Davis won second place also repeating his 2nd place from CRC 2021. His song “Chutney Soca Vibez” certainly raised the energy of the competition.
Nekaisha “Nikki” Mohammed won second place and had the best presentation showcasing steel pan, african drumming and iron percussion. She was also smartly dressed in traditional east indian wear. Her song “Ghar Aaya” details how excited she is that her beloved came home.
Miss Purdey Sahadeo sang about how a suitor wanted to marry her but he could not find his dhoti but she did find herself in third place.
Kumar “Mr Nice Vibes” sang “Ah Want to Go” and left with third place.
