Helon Francis - Change - 2018 Calypso Monarch Finals Winner - Dimanche Gras Winner 2018
Trinidad Carnival Dimanche Gras Show 2018
Helon Francis, winner of the 2018 Calypso Monarch and Young King and Song of the Year winner in 2016, is now the youngest independent senator in the current Parliament.
The 29-year-old said he is grateful, thankful and appreciative of his new appointment - which he was not expecting. He was speaking to members of the media during the reception of Parliament's reopening at the Red House on Monday.
Speaking on his hopes of contribution and impact in the Parliament, he said, "Hopefully, it's a positive one."
As for his focus in the Parliament, he plans to "expand on something brand new."
"Obviously, I am based in culture, but this is our country, so knowing the entire country and knowing there's more than just culture alone. I am going to focus on as many aspects as possible."
Asked about his thoughts about the current crime situation and President Christine Kangaloo's call for collaboration to enact laws to reduce the crime rate, he said, "I think you know what everyone feels about crime, that's self-explanatory. So I can understand the President's sentiments."
Francis is among four new independent senators: Sunity Maharaj, Dr Sharda Patasar and Professor Gerard A Hutchinson. They were selected by Kangaloo to join the Senate and were sworn in during Parliament's reopening ceremony.
The four replaced outgoing senators Amrita Deonarine, Dr Varma Deyalsingh, Charrise Seepersad and Evan Welch.
Hutchinson is a professor of psychiatry and the unit lead in the psychiatry unit of the Faculty of Medical Sciences at UWI. Maharaj is a career journalist who has worked in print and broadcast for over 45 years and has headed the Media Association of TT and the Commonwealth Journalists Association.
Patasar was described as a multidisciplinary artist who also teaches and writes on culture.

I agree
"Stop changing ministers and change what we teach" - big big lyrics
Well deserved Calypso Monarch Champion for 2018. The song "Change" was well arranged and sung by Helon. A great message in song for the nation of T&T
diction, composition and delivery all on point
man I just love this song and I'm not even from T&T. Love from Dominica 🇹🇹🇩🇲
Finally, someone positive, talented, original, that u could listen to all year round.
This guy has the sweetest voice,well done congrats 🎈🍾🎉

Sweet voice is an understatement. Superlative voice that's what he has. The future of TRUE CALYPSO will live on with Helon Francis. He is a born natural calypsonian in the purest sense. I streamed his performance here in New York and right away I knew the CROWN was his. Voice did well and I also enjoyed his performance. But the first two in winner's row were well justified. They both brought brilliant messages and I pray that Almighty God continue to use them as his messengers. God bless guys.
Waw. This brother is something special. Pores raise listening too this. Congrats too him.Well deserved champion.👊👊👏👏
I am so very proud of this young boy Helon Francis. He is destined for greatness.
I'm so proud of this young man. Thank you Jesus that he is our 2018 Monarch. T&T let us truly meditate on this message & make the changes necessary for a brighter future for this nation. Congratulations Helon!! Well done

Bravo Helon Francis. This song should be required listening not only for Trinidad but for the whole Caribbean. The point is to become the change you want to see. Thanks Helon for your commentary and reasoning.

I am beyond happy. Especially since I predicted the win. lol But mostly because he deserved it. Congratulations Helon Francis. I streamed live from the DC area. Such an articulate rendition that finds a way to be sincere in its delivery and intelligent in its writing. He writes most of his lyric and composes his own scores, such amazing artistry. And so humble!
