Guyana Folk Festival 2005 Wordsworth McAndrew Award recipient John "Slingshot" DrePaul is the new Miami 2005 Soca Monarch after edging out a predominantly Trinidadian line-up at the recent Miami 2005 Calypso & Soca Monarch held at the Joseph Caleb Center in downtown Miami, on Thursday October 6th. Slingshot is the only non-Trinidadian - and Guyanese - to ever win the Miami Soca crown. His composition "Pirates" as his Soca entry won the unanimous nod from the judges, to win the Miami 2005 Soca Monarch title. He also placed 3rd in the 2005 Miami Calypso Monarch competition, rendering his poignant composition "Why?" -- a song that brings to the fore-front the depraving and shocking nature of the crime-spree that is daily encroaching the very lives of Guyanese and Trinidadians at home. Slingshot, after being congratulated by Dexter "Trini" Keene, the 2003 Miami Soca Monarch, and second-place winner of the 2005 Miami Calypso Monarch title, was asked to comment on his amazing and well-deserved victory. "I have made every Guyanese in the Diaspora, and at home, very proud with this crowning victory!" was his reply. Slingshot recently was the featured entertainer at the Miss Guyana World 2005 Pageant, held in Guyana on September. On August 13, 2005, he performed for an all-Nigerian and Ghanaian SRO audience in London. He is slated to return to London to perform at the Miss Nigeria UK 2005 Pageant on November 26, 2005. He is presently promoting his latest CD release, Mash Fever.
