Renowned Guyanese DJ Mix Master Tony has been signed to a two-year contract as one of the official DJs for UberSoca Cruise, The Largest Soca Festival at Sea, for their 2025 and 2026 voyages.
This significant achievement marks a milestone for Guyana’s music scene, as Mix Master Tony becomes one of the few Caribbean DJs and very first Guyanese to secure this coveted position. UberSoca Cruise management contacted the DJ directly, citing his exceptional talent and strong recommendations from industry insiders.
“This opportunity represents the culmination of years of dedication to my craft,” said Mix Master Tony. “Being recognized by UberSoca Cruise is validation of not just my work, but also the rich musical heritage of Guyana and the Caribbean that I’ve been privileged to represent.”
Mix Master Tony has built his reputation through consistent performances throughout Guyana, where his innovative soca mixes have earned him a devoted following.
“There’s a huge contingent of Guyanese who are normally on the cruise and there’s literally nobody on the big stage representing them. Almost everywhere else has a representative in terms of the acts that perform and nothing from Guyana. That’s another reason why I’m excited about being selected for this event,” he said.
While deeply committed to his home audience, he has long expressed aspirations to introduce Caribbean sounds to global audiences.
UberSoca Cruise, which sails annually, attracts approximately 4,000 attendees from across the world. The platform has historically served as a career catalyst for DJs, providing unprecedented exposure to international audiences and industry professionals.
“We’re always searching for hot new talent that can deliver the vibes on USC,” said Nathaniel Turner, CEO of UberSoca Cruise. “He’s known as the “South American Surgeon” for a reason. It was a no-brainer!
The first cruise featuring Mix Master Tony will set sail from Miami (November 15-22, 2025), and will visit Tortola, St Thomas and Great Stirrup Caye, a private island in the Bahamas. Each destination will feature its own event and preparations are already underway for what promises to be an exceptional musical experience.
