THE BIOGRAPHY OF LAURENA DAVISTHE BEGINNING –From an island that has produced some of the brightest stars in the music industry in the Caribbean, Laurena Davis is about to claim her spot among the very best of them as she takes a meteoric like journey into Soca fame.
Born on November 7th, this Talented and Beautiful Antiguan Sensation is the Lead Singer of LAURENA DAVIS& TKO. Laurena Davis is an extremely powerful versatile Vocalist, who is standing ready on the launch pad of success, destined to take her to new musical heights through her exceptional talent.
Laurena’s gift was first recognized in the Church, at a very tender age where she was a member of various Choirs and Gospel Groups.
The next level was not far off, as she showcased her talents as a soloist by taking the leading role in popular bands in the Hotel Industry. Of course it didn’t stop there and musical paths were crossed with some of the best known talents in the Music Industry in the Caribbean including Jah Cure, Biggie Irie, Edwin Yearwood, Skinny Fabulous, Peter Ram and other Antiguan talented Soca artistes. Her motivation and drive grew with the experience of working with some of the people she admired and her determination deepened to find her own place among the stars.
And so in 2010, Laurena did the unthinkable by entering Antigua’s LIME Party Monarch Competition where she was a finalist in both the Groovy and Up-Tempo Categories, ranking in the top 5 with her first Groovy hit 'BABY' written by Craig Christopher and Produced by Dalton Dyer along with her up-tempo 'READY NOW' written by Laurena herself.THE TKO EXPLOSION –She was an immediate hit!
Opportunities opened, and in September of that same year, Laurena travelled to Charleston, South Carolina, where she performed at the Moja Arts Festival. From South Carolina, bigger things awaited. It was over to Miami in October, for the Miami Carnival Celebrations. While in Miami, Laurena starred in her first video that was filmed for her hit song 'BABY' done by Norje’ Productions and FullWerks. The video made it to the top of the charts on Tempo and other Entertainment Networks that year.
The following year in 2011, Laurena Davis once again qualified for the finals in both the groovy and jumpy segments of Antigua’s party monarch. Her 2011 groovy hit SWEET BWOY written once again by Craig Christopher and Produced by Dalton Dyer (which gave her a top five ranking) and TERRIBLE written and also produced by Dalton Dyer.THE RE-BRANDING –In 2012 Laurena continued her run of consistency.
It was also a new beginning, as her band, previously Tonik Band re-energised and re-branded into Laurena Davis & TKO.
Laurena Davis & TKO then went off on tour to the United States right after Antigua’s Carnival celebrations, to participate at the Caribbean Splash Down – Labor Day celebrations, held at the Marcus Garvey Park and the Virgin Islands Day Celebrations, in New York and other shows. They were then booked for the 25th Anniversary of Miami’s Carnival, where the Band also represented Antigua & Barbuda on numerous shows. The impression was lasting as she stamped her mark at every opportunity that TKO took the stage.MY FAMILY, MY LIFE –Apart from Being an Entertainer, Laurena's first profession is being a Proud Mother of a Fifteen (15) year old Son.
Laurena also has a very deep interest in the youths of Antigua & Barbuda. Guiding principles in her life are grounded in the mottos from her Primary and Secondary School days with the Foundation Mixed School and the Ottos Comprehensive Secondary “Nothing But The Best Is Good Enough” and “Success Through Perseverance.” In 2011, she teamed up with the “Mega Youth Foundation” of St. Eustatius and visited the Secondary Schools to give motivational talks on Education, Life Skills, Positive Values and more. While there, she joined in a collaboration on a reggae single entitled “Head Above Waters”which was dedicated to the Youths. Upon her return she saw the need to motivate the youths of Antigua & Barbuda and visited the Primary and Secondary Schools around the island with the Foundation.2013- 2015 were successful years for Laurena Davis.
