Wilt "Tallpree" Cambridge (born 29 July 1973) [1] is a Grenadian soca artist. [2]
He initially began performing as a reggae dancehall artist in the late 1980s and made the switch to becoming a soca artist the late 90s. His first stage name was Mr. Evilus, but by the time he began singing the popular "Jab Jab" – infused music soca enthusiasts have come to expect from him, he changed his name to Tallpree. [1]
In 2000, Tallpree built a massive audience in the Spicemas [3] Grenada Carnival season with the soca song "Grave, Jail, Hospital," which was named the Road March (most popular/played song) that year. [4]
Tallpree continues to perform popular soca tunes all around the world, and in 2011, he was named Grenadian Cultural Ambassador. [5]
