2009
To tell the story of EEEmpire and Sekon Sta, we must start our story in the ‘summer’ of 2009.
More than 9 years ago, Sekon Sta had dreams of Soca success, having achieved the milestone of entering the Soca Monarch Finals at the tender age of 1he youngest to ever do this. While canvasing support for his musical career and looking for a good party, his paths crossed with a young Ken Sambury, who was on his way to starting EEEmpire.
By December 2009, Sekon Sta hosted the first EEEmpire powered event to showcase his music and the songs of his friends.
This event was proudly hosted by EEEmpire at Corner Bar.
2010
Determined to live up to the legacy of his father, the late great calypsonian Merchant, Sekon Sta continued singing and participating in various competitions.
Before the beach limes and the Carnival Fetes, EEEmpire existed as a promotional outfit for the music and career of Sekon Sta. Most of EEEmpire’s youtube channel is littered with videos of Sekon Sta performing.
Sekon Sta was quite prolific in his Soca writing and Extempo with an equally determined team behind him. Stefan Guevara would often double as Prince Afroman, a fictional character who encouraged the public to keep supporting Sekon Sta.
2016
In the Carnival of 2016, Sekon Sta received his first ‘hit’ song that won him a slew of gigs and overseas shows. Building on the momentum of this, both EEEmpire and Sekon Sta partnered to host a Launch Party in December of 2016. Now significantly grown up, the grandeur of their event was evident. This Launch Party boasted complimentary cocktails, aerial dancers, acrobats, fire breathers and a star studded casts of musicians. This was the first place Sekon Sta performed Kings and Queens, which went on to be a timeless Carnival hit.
2017
After a successful Launch, Sekon Sta and his music was a staple at every EEEmpire event.
2018
Carnival 2018 saw the further development of the relationship between Sekon Sta and EEEmpire with their first ever Carnival Fete; Tropical LUAU. This fete included a full performance from Sekon Sta and his Soca Squad band, performing new hits as well as timeless classics.
2019
Celebrating 20 years since the late, great Calypsonian Merchant passed and 10 years since Sekon Sta and EEEmpire started their journey together – Sekon Sunday will be the culmination of all their efforts.
