His musical talents of singing and songwriting in the Calypso genre earned him the coveted title of St. Thomas Carnival Calypso Monarch for four consecutive years, a King of Kings title, and other top titles throughout the Caribbean.

Luis entered public service in 2015 and served four years as a Graphic Artist in the Public Relations Division at the Virgin Islands Department of Education’s – Division of Public Relations.  He now joins a team of dedicated employees in the Printing Division of the Department of Property & Procurement as the team transitions to digital printing technologies.
