Sabrina Francis Could be the Region's Next Female Lead, Says Muhammed Muwaki

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad - A movement to take her creative authenticity to every corner of the Caribbean and beyond, has spurred a reaction. Grenada’s Sabrina Francis has piqued the interest of one of the region’s foremost creative minds, Muhammed Muwakil of Freetown Collective. Francis’ showcase at Kafe Blue in Trinidad on September 14th, has since generated interest among music lovers as to whether a collaboration between the two is on the way.

Sabrina FrancisFilled with gratitude on the ability to spark interest in Trinidad, Francis says she feels happy to have gained new fans, recalling that several persons approached her after the showcase, indicating that they were new to her music and were immediately blown away. “My trip to Trinidad and the show was everything I could have hoped for,” said Francis, highlighting the history of the venue, and the hospitality of its host - the legendary calypsonian, Carl Jacobs. “Carl is a special guy with a beautiful soul and I know I will be back in Trinidad soon so I am very happy to have made that connection,” said Sabrina.

Her second trip to showcase her style of music in T&T, the young, talented singer is growing in popularity. Her appeal stems from an effortless truth – her ability to stand firmly in her authenticity as a vocalist with proud African ancestry. It’s an appeal that almost immediately grabs her audience- an unpretentious beauty that penetrates effortlessly. “I am so touched that Muhammed made it to the show. We did speak, and I am hopeful that we will work together in the near future,” she said of the Freetown Collective frontline artiste’s interaction at the showcase.

Muhammed, in an honest expression at the event, said, “Sabrina is an amazing, amazing artiste. She opened for Freetown last year in London. Her vocals are flawless, her writing is amazing, her stage presence is just beautiful. Most likely we’ll be doing something with her in the future, but there definitely is a song I heard tonight that should be in 2026 Carnival, I feel. I think she has the ability to become one of the leading female voices in the region and it’s only a matter of time.”

Sabrina says while she isn’t a Soca artiste, she is open to experimenting with her sound. “I’m open to experimenting and trying new things. I want to return to Trinidad in the first half of next year. The work that we’re doing is to build the audience. I know Trinidad and Grenada have a lot of cultural history and similarities. I am hoping that Muhammed and I can work together soon,” she said.

Sabrina Francis’ catalogue of songs include, ‘Cocoa Tea,’ ‘Cool Me Down,’ ‘Woman’ and ‘Overflow’ among others. Her latest release is called, ‘Don’t Waste My Time.’

The young artiste’s musical style is categorized as Afro-Caribbean Pop.
