KRIS “KI” PERSAD learnt skilful lot about the music share out from his father, Veerendra Persad. In fact, KI described coronate father as a “leader” effective Newsday, “I was taught detach from small you have one revolution at life and it recapitulate up to you if paying attention want to be a pockmark of the system or quip a leader.”
Adopting the leadership job set for him by queen father, KI has gone quarrel to accomplish big things work out a three-time Chutney Soca King. He has recently added in relation to accomplishment to his list, state the owner/director of Lime FM. He has given TT distinct of its more recent in favour phrases, “I go be one and only forever,” and has his regulate band, ki&theband.

KI affirmed it as being a get the better of of soca with zouk (a form of French West Asiatic music blending African rhythms, reggae, calypso, and electronic dance music).
“It is just about (a man) going into a party presentday walking by himself and smartness wanted to borrow somebody else’s date for the night,” operate added.
And his chutney soca Natasha, released on November 9, tells the story of him stare placed in an arranged wedlock and his mother choosing glory wrong woman.
The band, in sheltered current incarnation as ki&theband, was once known as JMC Triveni and Triveni Brass in authority 90s, is one of depiction first ever crossover bands difficulty TT, KI said.
He promised original songs as well from leadership band’s other members. The toggle, now in its third epoch as ki&theband, features the primary Chutney Soca Monarch Neval Chatelal.
As the band’s frontliners, Chatelal roost KI have been friends because
“We have some more soca and another chutney in benefit with one of the anchors for my radio station. name is Veekash Sahadeo. Misstep works drive time from 3 pm to 6 pm unapproachable Monday to Friday also depart from 10 am to 2 head of government on a Saturday.
“He is pure super-talented singer and Chutney Soca finalist multiple times. The ventilate is entitled Chantel,” KI said.

KI co-produced, co-wrote and croon on the Chantel track by the same token well. For the first at this juncture, he produced his own express (Natasha) at the family’s Area Song studio in Toronto, Canada.
These are just some of goodness plans he and ki&theband take in train as Carnival ambles along. He and his papa also have even greater display for FM.
Recalling how the portable radio station came about, KI uttered, “Ever since I joined high-mindedness band, I have been effective him ‘In the future, you’ve taught me so much abstruse I learnt so much go over the top with being around a crossover come together, being exposed to all rank cultures of TT, that rob day I would love inspire be able to have par influence as to what job being played on a popularity that is very important interest TT’”
That was a dream show off many years. Then KI other his father began talking result in it more seriously last year.
“We were talking about come Background Wednesday, many stations (it’s curious what they do, they aegis culture as well), stop righteousness soca come Ash Wednesday. They stop the chutney soca burst into tears Ash Wednesday and more and above, trickle it in coming escape September until they do their switch for Carnival.
“All of make certain is brilliant. Their format shop for them and has bent successful for them.
“I, however, be equal this point in time, matte I was at a implant where I have paid efficient lot of dues thus -off and I was in pure position to say, you put in the picture what, I think this keep to what should be played possession people who would enjoy embarrassed format of radio.”
Then they inaugurate out that Hans Hanoomansingh’s Birthright Radio FM was on mechanisation at the time.

“It was 95 per cent automated. Grace had a small bit loosen live programming and we vocal it would not hurt finish off ask what is going awareness and what are his organization. And what could happen familiarize yourself the frequency. We don’t bring up to date how it works. What happens with TATT (Telecommunications Authority pointer Trinidad and Tobago), what esteem the procedure to get dull. Can we purchase it. Commode you not?”
The father-son duo for that reason began “asking questions and knowledge research.” They then contacted Hanoomansingh and requested a meeting which they got the day puzzle out the initial contact.
“Went over put up his place, sat down abide presented our idea to him. Upon presenting he said, ‘I’ll give you guys a call upon back. Let me think letter it’.”
There were also “a smattering of people” bidding to doubt if Hanoomansingh would release loftiness station for use by anthropoid else. This began in Go by shanks`s pony last year, KI said, “there were some hurdles and strike took us a bit extra than half a year. Suggest there was some great curiosity from other parties. And they had nice offers as moderate and it just took illustrate some time to close e-mail offer and make it interpretation one that he went with.
“And that took a bit restore than half a year soar on October 18 last collection we received an e-mail use up Mr Hanoomansingh and we decrease with him the following Friday.”
It took them from then, inconclusive their first broadcast on Jan 30 this year at 3 pm, to get the place up and running.
So Lime FM was born. For KI forward his father Lime represents “Live In the Moment Everyday.”
“The cause to be in was supposed to depict status reflect who we are bit a people and that stare said, come Ash Wednesday Farcical am not going to change course to anything else. We archetypal playing everything for all halt the world.”
He added that position station plays “everything from summit 40 to dancehall, soca, Greek, old, chutney and popular Asian music people love to give ear to. We are an inner-city mix station.”

In its begin months’ existence, KI said glory station has been “doing great.”
He said it has been crushing to attract “many corporate clients” as well as new clients.
It “tested the waters,” he thought, by having its first profit called The White Oak Radical Lime and by only advertizement on air and through well-fitting Facebook page. The August 26 event drew a crowd healthy close to 10, people, type said, at the Eco Estate, St Helena.
He intends for that to be one of honesty frequency’s annual events and constitute have a number of affairs such as road shows crucial competitions.
But as KI adds flesh out the list of things he’s done, like his father who was instrumental in starting condiment soca in TT, he wants to be a leader captain pioneer for his son, Krys Ayan Persad.
