Defining the Sound of a Nation

Congratulations to Dezral Long – 2025 St. Lucia Carnival Calypso & Power Soca Monarch Champion

Official Statement from The Air Born Academy

On behalf of the entire Air Born Academy family, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to Dezral Long on his incredible achievements at this year’s Saint Lucia Carnival.

Taking 1st place in both the Power Soca Monarch and the Calypso Monarch competitions is not only a testament to his talent and discipline, but also a defining moment in Saint Lucian music history. Becoming a two-time Calypso Monarch while simultaneously dominating the Power Soca stage in the same year is nothing short of extraordinary.

As a past student of the Air Born Academy, Dezral’s continued excellence fills us with immense pride. His journey is a powerful reflection of what we stand for—excellence in sound, performance, and cultural expression.

We are deeply honored to have been a part of his artistic foundation and remain committed to nurturing the next generation of voices who, like Dezral, will shape the sound of Saint Lucia’s future.

Congratulations once again, Dezral. Your success inspires us all.
