Triple Kay Band, on a journey to take Dominica and its music throughout the world has been the motto which governs the efforts of the group and has fostered the environment for its eminence during its reign.
The name of the band is a replica of its members and their environment as each letter denotes a members name and the place where they reside. Thus the group had been fostered in the scenic, tourist destination community of Laudat and this led to its emergence. In addition, the band has been together for the past six years. During this time, the dedication, talent and time of its hardworking members have contributed tremendously to its continuance and the growth in creativity of each album.
The band has produced four albums namely – “Big Ting” – “Fanatik” – “Sewo” and the latest 2006 album “All Out”. During production, the goal of the band was to diversify the current musical era and collectively this was achieved. This was accomplished by mastering all the types of music the fans and foreign market yearned for and required and this accounts for the significant growth of the band from one stage to another. Thus the band performs zouk, compas, reggae, cadance, dancehall and our own local bouyon music and has mastered the musical touch of all the above mentioned.
Moreover, the band has not only kept up to the task of just playing music and mastering its various types but has invested in the methods of execution and performance. Again, because of its incessant efforts and success, Triple kay is esteemed and highly dignified in its homeland. This recognition led to the renowned opportunity to perform in one of Dominica’s biggest musical events, the World Creole Music Festival in 2002 and 2005 gaining the exposure for future international events. In 2004, Triple Kay was named Band of The Year and among all the other bands on the island the “Cadance Musical Touch” was passed on to the band by the legends of Cadance lypso at the Fort Young Hotel. The band was again named 2005 Band of the Year and also copped the title of Song of the year, “Sewo”. Wayne “Benji” Benjamin the band’s lead vocalist was recognized as the Best male Artist of the year at the 2005 Flamboyant Awards.
Not only has the band gained local recognition but international as well. In 2004, the band traveled to England, St. Martin, Saba and Guadeloupe, in 2005 has been to Antigua, St. Vincent, New York and back to London among other territories and in 2006 Guadeloupe, Antigua, St. Martin, New York, Miami, Belgium and London. The band has also performed in many small festivals and other local events. These opportunities have opened doors to the band as being proud ambassadors to Dominica on numerous occasions. So far, the band has received tremendous support at all its performances and has been encouraged to persevere.
Triple Kay band has also throughout the times gained the musical spirit of three experienced musicians who have contributed substantially to the triumph of the group. Presently, the band is made up of seven playing members, one road crew, the manager and a booking agent:
