Patrice Roberts

Of all the nervous moments soca sensation Patrice Roberts has experienced, leading the HD family this year has topped them all. The 24-year-old artiste said it's a lot of pressure leading the band. "I know a lot of people are looking for Machel,", but it's really Roberts at the forefront. This year she is a competitor at the International Groovy Soca Monarch with "Work It".

However, with seven songs this Carnival, Roberts, who leads a high-energy life, still found the time to be love-bitten. She's found her own 'Sugar Boy' despite her intense lifestyle. How has that been? Roberts said, "It's been really easy. He is a really understanding person." She also said she would "definitely" like to have a family one day. Also not carried away by the limelight, she longs simply to be close to her mom.
