Kalester Victory
For 2026, a new chapter rises. Kalester Victory has found a new creative home in the U.S. Virgin Islands with Euphoria Carnival Troupe, marking the beginning of a powerful journey as they explore the Sounds of Paradise. For St. Thomas Carnival 2026, he unleashes his creative expression of “Trini Soca”—the undisputed royalty of Caribbean music—where rhythm commands the road and culture reigns supreme. He didn’t chase design. Design called him.
Originally trained in the culinary arts, Kalester’s destiny shifted in unexpected spaces—late-night creative sessions and casual gatherings with Trinidad’s most respected Carnival designers. What began with cutting materials and assisting behind the scenes quickly transformed into full-scale production, working alongside icons such as Shawn Dhanraj, Natalie Fonrose, and David Dewer
Luxury tapped Kalester as a designer for Grenada’s Spice Mas, solidifying his rise and expanding his creative footprint across the Caribbean. Now, for 2026, Kalester Victory steps onto the St. Thomas stage with purpose and power—bringing bold design, deep cultural roots, and undeniable energy to Euphoria Carnival Troupe. This is Trini Soca.
This is royalty.
This is St. Thomas Carnival 2026.
Where the Sounds of Paradise come alive.
