When you hear the rhythms of Caribbean carnival or the high-energy pulse of soca music, one name stands out: Alison Hinds. Known widely as the “Queen of Soca”, she’s a trailblazing performer whose influence transcends the islands and reaches audiences around the world. Her story is one of talent, perseverance, cultural pride and female empowerment.

The term “wuk up” comes from the phrase “work up,” as in working up your body to the rhythm. It’s raw, expressive, and deeply connected to the Bajan spirit of liberation and joy.
