Personality In Focus - Anderson "Blood" Armstrong
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnDPS-syhwC_1U_76952hIvX_1aFrs85iuzPmvD0-QCijAIyPnYk-fsmvTx02GPHyOgryWa1ecUcTrFbr3L0qvBzcTBGZU0gwJmxis4_F60_DO5jq5Cw2Ov9XsSFBNxYVeox8sF74SakI/s400/andyarmstrong.jpg)
Today we salute an outstanding son of the soil, our very own Anderson "Blood" Armstrong. Anderson Armstrong was born on February 1, 1968 in Barbados. He is one of the most talented males currently on the Soca scene.
Andy started singing as a choirboy while at primary school. He began singing in local competitions back in 1983 while still in high school. At that time he made his professional debut in the Richard Stoute Teen Talent Contest. There he made it all the way to the finals performing his own compositions.That same year he participated under the guidance of his mentor, The Mighty Gabby, in Gabby's first timers Calypso Contest.The following year (1984), with the encouragement of then school teacher and tent manager, Mac Fingall, he joined The Untouchables Calypso Tent.
In 1985, at the age of 17, Andy Armstrong became the youngest person ever to make the National Calypso Finals in Barbados. He placed fifth in the competition which was won by The Mighty Gabby.One of his biggest career moves to date was when in 1986, he along with his friend and former Lodge School mate, George Jones became founding members of one of Barbados' most prominent and one of the Caribbean's leading party bands over the last two decades, Square One.
He is known for his explosive, dynamic and high-energy performances and his versatility as a singer. His debut solo album "Conscience Call" was just another step towards his never-ending quest for maximum musical success. Since that time, he has recorded and produced several solo and compilation albums.
Andy has achieved yet another major accomplishment in his life, where he has built one of the top recording studios on the island from the ground up. Here he has recorded and worked with several of the Crop Over Festival's well known stars such as Red Plastic Bag, Mac Fingall, Alison Hinds, Terry Arthur and the recent additions Mikey, Contone and Pong. Anderson has received several awards and has been recognized as an accomplished artist in the Calypso arena.
