Blue Boy

:(This page is about the soca singer. For the British indie pop band of the same name, see Blueboy).
Austin Lyons (born 25 May 1956), better known as Superblue, Super Blue and Blue Boy, is a Trinidadian calypsonian, soca musician, and lyricist. Lyons was born on 25 May 1956 in Point Fortin. His mother is a Grenadian and his father is Trinidadian.
Lyons became famous from his first entry into the calypso tent world in 1980 with "Soca Baptist," a song he penned in 1979. "Soca Baptist" won him his first Carnival Road March Monarch award in 1980. He won the annual T&T Carnival Road March title ten times (in 1980, 1981 and 1983 he won under the moniker Blue Boy, and as Superblue in 1991, 1992, 1993, 1995, 2000, 2013 and 2018). He won the Trinidad & Tobago Soca Monarch (now the International Soca Monarch) title seven times, making him only the second man in the English-speaking Caribbean to win the Soca Crown seven times after Grynner of Barbados who won the Road March crown in Barbados the same number of times (1983, 1984, 1985, 1988, 1989, 1990 and 1998).
