Artist Spotlight
Shern ‘Skarpyon’ Williams
Singer, Song-writer, Composer & Entertainer
SVG Cultural Ambassador Skarpyon is a Ragga Soca Artist hailed from the beautiful island of
St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG), Yurumein/Hairouna – the Land of the Blessed.
Skarpyon has been singing for most of his life and has carved a niche for himself in the music
industry; becoming SVG’s finest Ragga Soca Artist. Equipped with a smooth, melodic and
infectious voice he is indeed a true emblem of the art form. Skarpyon‘s first major public
performance was during his elementary years participating in the Junior Calypso Monarch
competition. He was noticed by the then organizer of the National Youth band and was invited
to become the very first lead vocalist. This opportunity allowed him to develop, and refine his
innate skills as an outstanding entertainer.
Skarpyon has performed throughout the Caribbean, Canada, the United Kingdom and the United
States. He has an extensive catalog of top, Ragga Soca songs; Look’N Fine, Turn your Lights Down
Low, Leave Me Alone, Hammer N Conchs, Real Steel, Rum Do Dat and Big Road are just a handful,
all written by the Stingah man himself. Skarpyon also participated in the National Calypso
Monarchy Competition arena with his song ‘Until’ and was awarded Calypso Monarchy. Another
one of Skarpyon gem was “Never Forget” a patriotic song urging all to “Never Forget their roots”.
The video went on to win the best video of that year.
2019 saw Skarpyon releasing both a track and video for that year’s bagger ‘RUM DO DAT’ which
is still making waves.
In 2022 we saw big releases from Contagious to the ladies’ favourite Real Steel, Hold It and the
people’s choice BIG ROAD. Skarpyon released a video for the track Big Road that has YouTube
viewers in a frenzy.
Skarpyon not only pens everyone of his songs, he also writes for other artists competing in the
Junior and Senior Calypso competitions who emerged victorious!
Apart from singing/writing and composing music, Skarpyon has added merchandise to his brand.
Presently, he has three of his popular hits: “Hammer N Conch”; “Rum Do Dat” & “Big Road”
available for sale.
Coming off his 2022 Hit, ‘Big Road’, Skarpyon just released his 2023 Ragga Soca Project for
Vincy Mas where he gives us two solo tracks, Dilute It and Not Today. “Dilute it” – depicts how
sweet our Caribbean Women are and “Not Today” speaks about the things affecting us when trying
to have a good time! In addition Skarpyon joined up with the up and coming dynamic Diva KeKE
with a tracked deemed “Stunta”. All three songs represent the vibez of the people in and out of the party. Also, in 2023 in honour of International Women’s Day, Skarpyon released ‘No Need To’, a message to end violence against women.
