Bursting with energy, confidence, and raw talent, Dior Shortsweet — known offstage as Jeanna Davis — is quickly establishing herself as one of Antigua’s most exciting rising stars.

A multi-genre singer-songwriter with a bold voice and an even bolder presence, Dior is redefining what it means to be a powerful woman in soca.

Dubbed the “Vibe Queen” and “The Ringleader” for her magnetic energy and larger-than-life personality, Dior is captivating audiences island after island, track after track, with a fearless blend of passion, power, and pure talent.

In an industry that rarely makes space for newcomers, she’s kicked the door down and is rewriting the rules of soca — one explosive performance at a time.

2024 saw Dior take center stage at the legendary Savannah Stage for Trinidad Carnival, where she led the Showtime Mas Band alongside the Mau Brothers — a career-defining moment that turned heads across the region.

Under the mentorship of soca icon Claudette “CP” Peters and backed by Brukway Productions, Dior is rising fast, fueled by hunger, heart, and the kind of star power you just can’t fake.

In a genre dominated by big names and even bigger sounds, she’s carving her own lane with unmatched versatility and drive.

And she’s not slowing down. With her 2025 arsenal of hits — including “Guilty,” “Wax On,” “Take Over,” and “Teeine Weenie” — Dior is taking over airwaves and playlists with bold, unapologetic anthems that celebrate her rebellious and playful nature, setting the tone for her season.

Her single “Guilty,” dropped just five days before the Country Fest Soca Monarch, still soared her into the winner’s circle as 2nd Runner-Up, proving she’s a force even on the tightest timeline.

Now, with “Guilty” being hailed as a top contender for the 2025 Groovy Soca Monarch crown, and whispers of her final unreleased banger geared for the Jumpy Soca Monarch Competition, the buzz around Dior is electric.

And let’s not forget — this isn’t her first rodeo. Fans still rave about her unforgettable “On De Road” performance, where she stormed the Soca Monarch semi-finals in a Dora-inspired ensemble that lit up the stage and stole hearts.

But her talents don’t end at the mic. Dior is also making waves behind the scenes, co-writing several of 2025’s standout soca releases — proving her creative reach goes far beyond her own hits.

She’s not just performing soca. She’s shaping it.

In April 2025, her unstoppable momentum was officially recognized when she took home the “New Artist of the Year 2024” Award at the first-ever Island Groove Awards — a milestone that celebrates not just a breakout year, but seven years of hard work, hustle, and heart poured into the Antiguan and Barbudan music scene.

Now, as the world begins to pay attention, one thing is clear: Dior Shortsweet isn’t just rising — she’s launching.

With every beat, every lyric, and every stage she steps on, she’s bringing Antigua with her — loud, proud, and unstoppable.

With international stages already calling and her sound resonating far beyond island shores, Dior Shortsweet’s journey is only just beginning. She is definitely one to keep eyes on — the Vibe Queen is coming for the crown, and the world is watching.
