Formed in 1989 by Edwin Yearwood, Michael Agard, Felix Forde and Anthony Bailey, the Barbadian band Krosfyah has established itself as one of the premier soca acts in the world today. Crossfire, as they were originally known, developed their distinctive style on the Barbados hotel circuit playing cover tunes for tourists. In 1993 they changed their name to Krosfyah, (the way it's pronounced in the Bajan dialect) and in 1994 recorded their first track Hot Tempo. 1994 also saw the release of their debut album Ultimate Party, which propelled the group from obscurity to the most popular soca band in Barbados and won them the coveted title"Band of the Year." Krosfyah performed some of the 20th century's best music and the next millennium looks equally promising. The year 2000 brought the release of both The Best of Krsofyah and Edwin Yearwood's phenomenal solo CD Influenced - The Good And Badd In Me. Without a doubt, these guys are truly the Kings of Soca.
