Posted July 23, 201312 yr Destra Garcia Destra Garcia (born 10 November 1977 in Laventille, Trinidad and Tobago) is a Soca singer and songwriter based in Trinidad and Tobago. Destra is noted for her high energy performances, harmonious vocal skill and eccentric fashion style. Destra won the Road March title in 2003 at the Labour Day Carnival in Brooklyn[citation needed] and placed second in the Trinidad and Tobago Soca Monarch competition in that same year.She is yet to win either the Carnival Road March or Soca Monarch title in Trinidad although she has come close in the Road March race, placing second in 2003, 2004 and 2009. Despite this, she has become successful in the local music industry, specializing in pop-sounding soca compositions as well as fusion music encompassing aspects of East Indian culture.In 2006, Caribbean Beat magazine described Destra's music as "the kind of sound that a young person, living at the crossroads of cultures and technologies that is Trinidad and Tobago today, is likely to produce, and the breeziness of her music may well act as an antidote to the hard edge which often characterises life not only in Trinidad and Tobago, but in many other corners of the globe.Also in 2006, the Digicel mobile telecommunications group named Destra as its spokesperson in a two-year endorsement deal. wikipedia
