Back then, 95% of almost every Caribbean event was dancehall or reggae, which caught Dane’s eye. Coming from the vibrant twin islands of Trinidad & Tobago, he immediately noticed something missing—soca. Inspired, Dane thought to himself, “Hmmm, we need a soca party.” What started as a weekend experiment fueled by a love for good vibes quickly became something bigger.

​

With soca largely absent from the scene, the mission was clear: bring the music, the culture, and the energy to life. The vision started small, hosting a monthly soca event despite having no experience in event promotion. But with determination and a “make it happen” mindset, that first party grew into a movement. Nineteen years later, Soca Passion has evolved into a respected, nationally recognized brand, known for delivering unforgettable events and experiences that celebrate soca culture far beyond Texas.
