Wen’D - Wendy Lewis-MollineauHer character is strong, her personality bold; She is independent, warm and in control! She is the UK’s Soca Queen, two times Calypso Monarch of London and the holder of the Calabash UK Soca Award 2005.Wen’D first came onto the soca/calypso scene in the early 90’s as the European Manager for Curtis “General” Grant. By 1995, she managed “Touchdown Massive”, one of the largest soca bands in London led by Junior English. Odian Cyrus aka Skunky approached her in 1999 to do the lead vocals on “Iron in de Charcoal”. She laughed! I recall Skunky saying, “You can do it, and I will never back a dead horse!”. Seeking further advice from her cousin, Nigell Lewis who encouraged and guided her all the way they headed for Graham Wilson’s studio in Woodbrook, Trinidad when her journey began.
Wen’D entered the London Calypso Monarch competition in 2001 with her rendition of “Immigrants Dilemma”, penned by “Tobago Crusoe” and that night history was made as she became the first woman to win the London Calypso Monarch competition in 12 years!
Wen’D also featured in Greta Mendez’ sold out play, “Indulgence”, with a powerful delivery of Singing Sandra’s “Voices from the Ghetto”. In 2004 with an astounding performance of “My Kind Ah Man” and “The Internet”, both penned by Ortniel Bacchus “Tobago Crusoe”, Wen’D was crowned the monarch once more.
A soul searching mission had Wen’D pondering on her journey thus far and the way forward. Reflecting on her mission, she said ....."As I strive for perfection in every area of my life, to be flawless is my ultimate goal!"
Her 2nd album, “D Journey Continues” features “Ah want U 2” written by, Nigell Lewis; “Trini Carnival” written by “herself & General Grant” which also has a “garage” mix; Duet with herself and General Grant called “Baby Father” and “My kind Ah Man”, “Pushing Pram” penned by “Tobago Crusoe” to name a few. Arrangers on the album included, award winning, Junior “Ibo” Joseph (Trinidad), Shawn Marcellin (St Lucian based in London) and Curtis “General” Grant.
Wen’D is now embarking on her 3rd album entitled, “Give Thanks” which would feature “No Boy No” the social commentary which took her to the Calypso Monarch Semi-Finals in Trinidad for carnival 2k7 and earned her a place in the finals of the Social Commentary Categories as well. Other contributions will include “ Man Doh Like Dat” Wen’Ds response to the lude behaviour on Manzanilla Beach for carnival 2k6; A collaboration with Kevin “Rowdy” Mollineau called “Come Together”, sponsored by Youthology & Myspace, The Anthem….”Give Thanks” and 2 songs penned by the diva herself but sang by Junior Monarchs and more.

Girls are lying when they say that size does not matter. I got proof... OK so just a little heads up here. My Best friend Pete has been getting lots of women all of a sudden after not having a girlfriend for the pas two years. I asked if he was hypnotizing them or something, so he told his little secret. He has been taking the enlargement pills from www.Burepi.com They made his little member grow to almost double the size in two months and it's still growing. I thought he was joking around so I investigated a little and sure enough I found nine bottles of the pills under his bed and to top it off, both his brothers are now taking them too. I don't know, but I am thinking of buying them for Devon. I know it sound shallow, but after seeing the results, it's hard not to. I am living proof that these pills workand have seen it with my own eyes. It is almost unbelievable that a simple pill taken twice a day can make your thing so thick and longer, but it does work ! Best of all www.Burepi.com guarantees that the pills will work on ANY MAN or they give you whatever you paid right back. It is their word in stone, they made these things work and back them by such a no risk guaranteee. Don't waste any more time, go order some for yourself and see!!! www.Burepi.com
