New York, NY – Soca star Darryl “Farmer Nappy” Henry brings the spirit of Trinidad Carnival to the global masses with his new album Big People Party, now available worldwide from all major digital retailers, as well as physical CD in stores, from FOX FUSE.

A big thanks to everyone who worked on this album with me and also to everyone who is supporting me.”

Adding fuel to his fire, Monster Energy Drink has partnered with Farmer Nappy to be its brand ambassador from now through the Carnival 2015 season, further cementing his role as the prime representative for soca music, both at home and beyond. “Making Farmer Nappy an official ambassador was a decision that took little thought,” discloses Monster Energy Brand manager, Leigh Inalsingh. “Monster Energy sees themselves as more than an energy drink, they see themselves as a lifestyle in a can, and this made soca star Farmer Nappy the perfect fit.” Jonas Zakour, Monster’s Regional Manager, describes Farmer Nappy as “energetic, hardworking and talented, everything that the brand represents.” He adds, “We are excited to have him as an official member of the Monster Energy family.”
