Motto honored as Grand Marshal at Atlanta Caribbean Carnival

Soca Artist Lashley Motto Winter was honored this past weekend as one of the Grand Marshal's at Atlanta Caribbean Carnival. The Atlanta Caribbean Carnival is hosted by a nonprofit organization ACCBA. The goal is to promote Caribbean culture in Atlanta. The celebrations begin May 26th & concludes on May 29th. During that time period residents celebrate with a jouvert, Parade of bands & festival village among other events. Motto along with American Reality Star, Producer, & Entrepreneur Martell Holt & mayor of Clarkston, Georgia Mayor Beverly Burks received the great honor of being co-marshal's at this year's festivities.

Motto is known for hits such as One Woman, Big Ride, Shots, Man with Ride, amongst many more. This is a huge deal for the artist as well as the Caribbean being recognized on a larger scale. St. Lucia is definitely getting the recognition it deserves as one of their own continues to rise. The festival village has a great line up of some of the biggest names in the soca industry such as, Skinny Fabulous, Shal Marshall, Alison Hinds, Asa Bantan, Pumpa, Motto, Farmer Nappy, Burning Flames, Lil Rick, DJ Cheem, Squid, Kenne Blessin, G'Eve, Janine, and D'Angel. This is a big deal for the St. Lucian born artist as much as it is for his community.
