Christo

Christo, whose real name is Jahmike Bonas, is a Trinidadian soca singer and songwriter who is steadily building a name in Caribbean music. Originally from South Oropouche, Trinidad and Tobago, he is known for his melodic vocals, catchy hooks, and ability to combine traditional Caribbean sounds with modern soca. His growing popularity reflects the energy of Trinidad’s music scene and the determination of a young artist working to reach a wider audience.

Early Life and Background

Christo was born and raised in South Oropouche, a community in southern Trinidad. Growing up in a country famous for its carnival celebrations, calypso, and soca music, he developed an interest in the sounds that form an important part of Trinidadian culture.

Although detailed information about his childhood, education, and family background remains limited, his music career shows a clear connection to the island’s musical traditions. Rather than relying only on carnival rhythms, Christo has explored melodies and lyrical styles that allow him to develop his own identity as a performer.

Music Career and Breakthrough

Christo began attracting attention in the Trinidadian music scene in 2019 with the release of “Red Gyal.” The song helped introduce him to listeners and marked an early step in his development as a recording artist. He continued releasing music, including tracks such as “Soca Feeling,” “Horn,” and “Indian Gyal.” These songs helped him build a catalogue and establish connections with soca fans.

In 2025, Christo placed third in the youth category of the Ultimate Soca Champion competition with his song “Unity.” The result was an important milestone, giving him additional recognition within the local music industry.

His biggest breakthrough arrived during the 2026 carnival season with “Doux Doux Darlin.” The song draws on the affectionate Caribbean expression “doux doux,” meaning something like sweetheart or darling, and blends nostalgic calypso influences with contemporary soca production.

The track gained attention in Trinidad and beyond, helping introduce Christo’s music to new audiences. Its success also demonstrated his ability to connect traditional Caribbean musical ideas with a modern sound. In April 2026, The Jamaica Gleaner featured him in an interview discussing his music, culture, and upcoming performance in Jamaica. 

Musical Style and Influences

Christo’s music balances melodic songwriting with the lively rhythms expected from soca. His work reflects an appreciation for Caribbean culture while allowing room for experimentation and contemporary production.

He continues to develop his artistic identity through original releases, collaborations, and live performances.
