Yung Bredda Takes Soca Song of the Year After Journey From Pandemic to CMA Stage Yung Bredda has added another major achievement to his growing career, taking home the Soca Song of the Year award at the Caribbean Music Awards after a journey that gained momentum during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Sea Lots native entered the ceremony with four nominations and used his red-carpet appearance to reflect on his journey, the people behind his success and the importance of young people finding their own direction. Yung Bredda said he was excited to receive four nominations and described representing Trinidad and Tobago and its culture as a blessing. Reflecting on how far he has come, the artiste noted that he and his DJ have been working together since the COVID period, making his appearance at the Caribbean Music Awards another significant moment in their journey. He also offered advice to young people, encouraging them to keep believing and dreaming while making sure they understand what they genuinely want from life. Yung Bredda cautioned against simply following what other people are doing. He said individuals should identify what they truly love and remain committed to pursuing it. The artiste said that sense of purpose is shared by his manager, DJ and wider team, who have continued working alongside him as his career develops.

Yung Bredda explained that while a vehicle may have a driver, co-pilot and passengers, it still needs an engine to move. He credited Optimus Production for providing that support throughout his journey. The evening ultimately became another major milestone for Yung Bredda as he walked away with the Soca Song of the Year award, marking another chapter in a career that has grown considerably since the pandemic. Images following the ceremony also showed the artiste back in Sea Lots holding his award, bringing one of the night’s biggest achievements home to the community where his journey began.
