THE 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.

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 .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’ and FullWerks Productions. 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. From 2010 to present she has shown consistency in making
it to the finals each year not only in the Groovy but also in the Jumpy
Category each year.
THE RE-BRANDING –
In 2012 Laurena continued her run of consistency.
It was also a new beginning, as her band, previously Tonik Band re-
energized and re-branded into Laurena Davis & TKO.
