Rudy Live

The Virgin Islands… turquoise waters, sunshine, intoxicating tropical aroma, steel drum, pulsating rhythm of Soca “soul of calypso” and the Captivating, Edgy, Exciting Rudy Live! Born Toiya Isaac her story is reminiscent of those true artist born with the essence of music in their veins. Starting in music at a young age, the artist who would later adopt the moniker of Rudy Live recalls her destiny becoming clear with her first stage performance at the junior show in St.Thomas, V.I. Influenced by her love of reggae and the iconic words of Bob Marley, the soulful voice of Whitney Houston, charisma of Janet Jackson and stage presence of Michael Jackson, it isn’t until her first soca show where Allison Hines gave a memorable performance that Rudy Live fell in love with soca music and understood her musical calling. Hailing from her proud Virgin Island, Rudy Live recognized that soca was synonymous with a neighboring island, but there was no denying her calling and Rudy Live went on to make her mark by becoming the first and only female to twice capture the title of Soca Monarch in St. Thomas and St.Croix consecutively. Adding to this prestige Rudy achieved an honor sought by many of her peers by collaborating and sharing the stage with international soca king, Machel Montano.
