Terrin Callendar aka Jaiga  has been a part of the
entertainment fraternity in Trinidad and Tobago
and by extension, the Caribbean region- for over a
decade. His sound system background from the early
nineties leading into the 21st century, has taken him
on a journey marked by leaps of faith and riveting
success.
From his roots as the DJ/radio announcer- Super Jigga
TC, the self-proclaimed King Of Swag delved into
management at the all Soca station, Trinibashment
91.9FM; this was after he returned to Trinidad from
the U.S where he’d studied the business that he was
so much a part of. His role at the all Soca frequency
would prepare him for much of what he is today, a
full-fledged Soca artiste.
Balancing his roles as a radio personality and a
member of management, Super Jigga TC soon
embraced yet another calling. A meeting with
Synergy TV’s Peter C. Lewis in 2005 led to the birth of
Soca Star- a seasonal television production based on
the development of budding entertainers, with the
most ambitious and best developed becoming the
crowned season’s Soca Star- a spin off of the American
Idol series. The production’s first success was Rohan
“Fireball” Richards- a young, talented male vocalist.
Having co-written Fireball’s hit single, “What I Want:”
in 2007, the King of Swag is today proud to say that
the artiste and the track have received international
recognition across Europe and the United States.
His popularity consistently soaring, Jaiga has
continued to prove that he’s focused on music and
is bent on representing the art of Soca an the local
music industry to the best of his ability.
