ABOUT:
Taste of The Caribbean (TOTC) festival is the largest FREE Caribbean Music, Arts, Food, and Rum Festival in Canada, which takes place every second weekend of July @Old-Port of Montreal.  The outdoor festival normally draws between 150,000 - 200,000 attendees every year on-site and features an array of live music, food, beverages, and arts, representing some of the many nation-islands of the Caribbean! :) 

From its beginnings in 1999, TOTC’s mission has been to promote the diversity of Montreal, Toronto and Canada's Caribbean culture to all audiences in order to form a better understanding and integration between cultures, as well as to influence Canadians of non-Caribbean descent to eventually travel to the Caribbean region, while at the same time, direct them to visit local Caribbean outlets here, such as: local businesses, arts, live performances, imported products, etc.

Chico Bio
Chico (Born Patrick Oneil Walker a 70's kid) is a popular Jamaican singer/singjay, who is well known for the distinctive unforgettable ‘It Go So Now’ that stimulates your senses at any session, club, dub plate and mixtape.
Early Life
Being the only son in a family full of girls, Chico’s childhood took him from the quaint town of Marverly, to Spanish Town,Portmore then later settling in one of Jamaica’s widely known communities; Waterhouse. It was here that he was given the nickname Patchico by several of his new friends, though he had a multi-ethic look, Chinese was the most dominant feature noticed. The name Chico was the final result as the shortened version of this nickname.
While many entertainers have had the ambition for artistry and the entertainment industry since childhood, Chico however, was on a steady business path, as he was focused on being an Accountant since high school at St. Catherine High. However, as fate would have it, while singing in church as a soloist, he developed the thirst for performing and something solidified deep within his soul; singing was his calling.
Career
Much like ministry, the trek into the music industry had its challenges. Taking on a job after high school, Chico eventually made his way to King Jammys studio, ’ Soon after, Chico was a fixture at the Main Street studios where he quickly became a part of the growing talent associated with the studio. However, it was not until five years later that the young star would realize success. After the Tevin Campbell cover he came out with a string of hits, which began with 'Stamina Body' in 1998, produced by Richard Browne, nephew to Danny Browne the owner of Main Street studios, broke Chico’s velvety voice into the open arms of Dancehall fans. He quickly backed this up with ‘Mek Noise’ recorded with producer Donovan Germaine for the Penthouse Label. His first major performance was at the AT&T Amphi theatre in Miami where he performed alongside Beres Hammond and Buju Banton.
His breaking point was in 2000, when Chico managed to do what most artists in Jamaica seek out to accomplish in the duration of their career; record with the esteemed producer Dave Kelly. Together they laced the track ‘Naah Stoop’ featuring Goofy. Shortly after, Chico was associated with Dave’s own Madhouse Records Camp, recording hits like; - Yuh No Care , Enemy and Have Your Own. Sticking with the crème de la crème of producers has awarded Chico solid selector favorites like Hold Yuh Man with Jermey Harding, ‘Rail Up’ by Richie D, Pavarotti by Frenchie from the uk, ‘Hard’, Grudgeful , Nah Support Dem by Call me Shams, ‘So Fly,Galivant ,Nuh Worry den by Troyton Black Shadow ‘Chemistry by BigYard and many more!
My Life/Garrison by Arif Cooper Fesh Air prod 
In 2003, Chico recorded the collaboration ‘Ganja Breed’ with dancehall deejay Sean Paul for Sean’s Platinum selling Dutty Rock album.  While the song wasn’t released as a single, it was a favorite amongst hip hop massives who tuned into Sean Paul due to his smokers oriented tunes like Gimmie The Light.
Chico also linked up with the other formidable Kelly producer; Tony CD Kelly, whose timeless riddims have helped add top quality music to his catalog
With a worldwide focus, Chico recorded the hit single ‘Hey Sexy Wow’ in 2005 with Universal’s signed French recording artist Lord Kossity, which resulted in a number one hit for both artists.  Other song collaborations include ‘Booty Call’ and ‘Hotel Room’ with a video shot on the island of La Reunion in France. The song got a lot of play on MTV Europe.
Locally,(New videos and upcoming Tours…etc…coming soon !!)
With his unique creativity, Chico is undoubtedly destined for Stardom.
