Chapman made history by becoming the second female artiste in 15 years to win the prestigious title. Her winning song, My Home, a heartfelt tribute to Guyana, left a lasting impact on the crowd. Speaking with Kaieteur News, Chapman expressed her gratitude, saying, “It is a beautiful feeling to be able to win Soca Monarch in my hometown. Linden has supported me in preparations for the competition, and I also want to thank the business community in Linden and all the sponsorship I have received.”

Her performance was nothing short of mesmerizing, energizing the audience with her vocals, vibrant costumes, props, and talented dancers. The performance, themed around jaguars – the country’s national animal – was a celebration of the nation’s rich culture.
