He has won the Barbadian calypso monarch competition several times. Hailing from the eastern, rural Barbadian parish of St. Philip, RPB became one of few performers from that region in the island to make it. He carries a large support group of fans that show up to cheer him on from "Stand C" when he performs against other calypsonians at the national stadium.

Red Plastic Bag began performing in 1979. He combined the sounds of reggae and soca, and has become one of the most popular performers in Barbados and throughout the Caribbean. His biggest hit, "Ragga Ragga", has been recorded in seven different languages.

As the results of the Finals of Barbados' Pic o' de Crop Competition were read in the early morning of the 3rd of August 2007, RPB became the island's calypso king for a record 8 times, after a two year hiatus, and pledged to defend his title the following year.

This guy RPG is great! Saw him at the Soca Monarch Show in Barbados a few years back and his performance and music blew my mind. Wish he would come to South Florida. I'll be in the front row with my red bandana.
