The prestigious event took place on August 29 at Kings Theatre on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn, New York. The Caribbean Music Awards every year recognises top names of music industry from across the Caribbean and rewards the artists for their global achievements.

He shared the several challenges he faced as an artist from a lesser known region and expressed his gratitude for this huge recognition he has received on the international stage.

Byron Messia further outlined, “Big up to those who inspired me…Infamous, Nicha B, Highlight, I-Mark. Yeah, I really used to look up to them as a youth”. Big up to producer Shetty Stainless, who gave me my first beat to do my first Dancehall track, ‘Dropped A Letter,’ in 2017.”
Messia has seen significant growth in his career within last two years and is known by every music enthusiast at the present date, showcasing the immense hardwork he had put in making his name.
His recent achievement at the Caribbean Music Awards further solidifies his position as a solid name in the music industry and brought immense pride for the small island nation.
The leaders of St Kitts and Nevis also expressed their pride through Facebook and congratulated the singer on the awards.
Minister of Creative Economy Samal Duggins said, “I’m incredibly proud of Byron and the name he’s made for himself. Winning these awards shows the power of believing in yourself and your craft. To all creatives, and especially our artists, let this be your inspiration. Keep working, keep pushing—one day, you’ll get there too.”
