A NEW HEINEKEN GREEN SYNERGY DJ IS CROWNED

Selector Twis is the new Heineken Green Synergy DJ Champion. Coming from a field of ten DJ finalists, the Blazin FM DJ, who this year also tried his hand at Soca music, made this his first victory after participating in the eight year old event just twice.
The Heineken Green Synergy final was held at Fond D’or in Dennery on Sunday September 11, 2011, where a huge crowd turned out to support their favourite DJs and the event itself. The competition also featured last year’s champion Silver Bullet, the 2009 winner Spy Kid as well as DJ Chubby, Mega B, Meg Boy, DJ Costo, Bony B, Alsnow and the first female to ever enter the competition, DJ Lovely. With Lovely, Twis, Alsnow, Chubby and Silver Bullet going into the final as favourites, things changed after the first round when it was down to four DJ’s; Silver Bullet, DJ Lovely, Spy Kid and Twis. However in this round Silver Bullet was eliminated by Twis and Lovely by Spy Kid, leaving Spy Kid and Twis to do battle in the final round to see who would come out on top. In a close call, 100 points to 102 points, Twis edged out his rival to walk away with the Champion’s trophy, EC$8,000 and Heineken product. He will also represent Saint Lucia at the regional group final to be held here in Saint Lucia this Saturday September 17, 2011.
The 8th annual Heineken Green Synergy DJ Competition kicked off here on Sunday August 14 followed by three preliminary rounds, a semi final and Sunday’s grand final which saw a record attendance. The event also featured an appearance by popular Jamaican selector DJ Wah Wa, Levi Chin, Webbie D and others and was hosted by MC Pringles.
