The'Born Lucian'<br />
GOZILAY<br />
By: Monica Victor<br />
hen GOZILAY was a little boy<br />
growing up in the little tight knit<br />
community of Praslin, Mon WRepos, he dreamed of becoming a policeman –<br />
he did. After serving his country for several<br />
years, GOZILAY resigned from the police force<br />
and immigrated to New York.<br />
Soon after arriving in the Big Apple, an<br />
opportunity to perform with some well known<br />
artistes presented itself and GOZILAY, who had<br />
been singing in church with his brothers ever<br />
since he was 8 years old, grabbed it.<br />
Today, GOZILAY is an international singing<br />
artiste most notably known for his wildly<br />
popular and patriotic Country and Western<br />
song “BORN LUCIAN” – an anthem both young<br />
and old, in and out of St. Lucia sing and dance<br />
to, love and appreciate.<br />
We caught up with the 'Born Lucian' GOZILAY<br />
who this year celebrated 10 years in the<br />
business, to find out how his stage name came<br />
about, life as a young boy growing up in<br />
Praslin, his inspirations and aspirations among<br />
other things.<br />
