Machel Montano is a Trinidadian soca recording artist and record producer. Known for his high energy, fast-paced, and often unpredictable on-stage performances, he is one of the genre's most popular artists.
In April 1986, at the age of 11, Montano appeared on the mainstream television show Star Search. In 1987, he took part in the Trinidad and Tobago National Song Writers Festival, and placed second with his song "Dream Girl". He also won the Caribbean Song Festival in Barbados, becoming the first Trinidadian and youngest contestant to win this competition.
Montano's band was originally entitled the Panasonic Express. The band was later re-invented and retitled by leader Montano as The Xtatik Circus, Xtatik, The Road Marching Band and The Band of the Year. Since 2007 they have been known as Machel Montano HD (High Definition). During the early 2000s, Kernal Roberts, son of the late calypsonian Lord Kitchener, was appointed the band's drummer and musical director.
On November 15, 2018 Montano acquired a honorary doctorate of arts from the University of Trinidad and Tobago. He was later bestowed, in September 2022, with a Hummingbird Gold Medal, a national award of Trinidad and Tobago.
Montano holds a Master's degree in Carnival Studies from the University of Trinidad and Tobago.
