His song ‘Head Bad’ he received the top votes in the categories Favourite Uptempo Soca (male) and Soca Song of the Year.

Meanwhile, fellow Pyramid artist Peter Ram won two of the three categories for which he was nominated, with his song ‘Tight’. First the Jay Will produced video tied with Destra Garcia’s ‘Hott’ for the Best Soca Music Video and then the track tied with Bunji’s ‘Banana’ alongside Machel’s ‘Fly Away’ for Ragga Soca Song of the Year.
