Dubbed by many as "The Dancehalltologist", Kevin "Suppa Kid" Petrona has been the main force into bringing dancehall/reggae music back to life on the island of St. Maarten / Saint Martin. With his nightly show on Laser 101, Suppa Kid wowed the island and educated them at the same time on what's hot, and what's not on the dancehall/reggae scene. With his knowledge and love for the genre of music, Suppa is respected by all!
Always dropping the newest singles and riddims, usually before anyone else, Suppa definitely has gained a great following locally, internationally and world wide. With exclusive links to producers, artists, DJ's and promoters, Suppa is definitely a force to be reckoned with.
This young, energetic dude started radio back in 2000. It started off as a joke, but when he was given the job, he quickly fell in love with the trade. Starting off as a co-host on the popular youth show "Loud N' Lovin It", then to co-host and co-producer on the number one morning show "The Rude Awakening Show w/ Bulldog", to becoming the host and producer of his own show "The Unofficial Suppa Kid Show" which was then renamed to "The Suppa Session" in July 2007.
Not only does he have talent behind the mic, but on stage as well. Entertaining the people of the island at stage shows, concerts, parties and more. He also defended the reason why they call him the "Dancehalltologist" when he entered his first ever clash against veterans, and came out victorious in "The Last Man Standing Clash Competition".
Suppa Kid also form 1/3 of the "Celebrity Alliance" which they have been affectionally called on the island. It consists of St. Maarten's number 1 DJ, 'Cut Creator' DJ Outkast, and St. Maarten's best rapper, K-Dot. Together they create the unstoppable force known as K-oS. Though it wasn't the intention, K-oS released some singles that all became number one hits and classic favorites on St. Maarten / Saint Martin and the surrounding islands.
On July 25th, 2008, Suppa had officially retired from St. Maarten radio to continue his studies and take up some opportunities offered to him in the Netherlands. As more unfolds about this "Suppa Star", you will definitely read about it here first!
