Speaking to The Waterfalls, Hall revealed that she started performing around the age of six in her church. She said that her love for music has grown tremendously over the years and cannot be compared to anything else.
“I saw all these big names doing it and I knew I’d make it possible somehow,” Hall said. Little did she know in years to come, she would be one of those, “big names.”
In 2020, Hall took part in her first ever competition and was the Junior Calypso Monarch with a song titled “Tell me How come”, within the same year, she secured third space in the Junior Soca Competition with her song “Proud of Who I Am”.
In 2024, Hall took part in her first ever Senior Calypso and Soca Competition singing “My man” as her Calypso entry and “Rum” as her Soca entry. She did not place in those competitions; however, she took the Soca stage by storm delivering an unforgettable performance and putting her name on the map. She said, “There’s so much tension during the season and competition but it was worth it because that solidified my love for the art because nothing was stopping me.” She said the competition was an eye-opener for the world that she chose.
Later that year, because of Hall’s exceptional performances, she was featured on several stages that year; one being the super concert where she shared the stage with the famous Jamaican artiste Mavado, she then performed at the One Communication Launch where she shared the stage with the Trinidadian singer Nailah Blackman and in May 2024 at an event called “Kool Out” hall performed with Patrice Roberts.
On January 10, 2024, Hall released her Senior Soca entry called “Breakway”. She was given inspiration from the way she views Soca. Additionally, she stated that the difference with her 2024 and 2025 entry songs Rum and Breakway. Rum has a “feel good vibes” while Breakway is a more freedom and self-liberating song, that is why it was the perfect entry to this year’s competition because it reflects her emotions towards the competition.
Hall told The Waterfalls that since her song’s release, her friends, family and even Guyana at large rallied around her and would have given her the love and support she needs.
She mentioned that because of that, it made her come to the realization that she has a strong passion to capture the crown when compared to last year.
She expressed her love for the arts platforms, and she wishes to do so much with it. “That title is mine, it needs to be” she said.
Despite all her love and support, some of the major challenges she faces on the journey to this year’s monarch is acquiring sponsorship and little to no rest due to her dedication to the art that she loves. Nevertheless, Hall does not let these challenges keep her down, she has been praying and seeking advice from individuals she looks up to, and that gives her the motivation to keep her eyes on the prize.
Hall’s long-term long goal for her performing arts craft is to be “Guyana to the world” becoming as huge as Machel Montano and Robyn Rihanna Fenty. Break barriers and having streets named after her. She expressed that one day, she wishes to collaborate with the famous and international Jamaican Artiste Vybz Kartel as well as the Trinidadian singers Nailah Blackman and Patrice Roberts.
