Entertaining us and musically educating the youth for more than 30 years, Isidore York, known as the Mighty Dow, is an island treasure and a staple in Carnival. Born on the Friendly Island in the lovely month of April, the Mighty Dow has been working hard to reach his objective of supporting the local youth to reach higher standards of performance. With a passion for steel-pan music, the Mighty Dow is a renowned calypsonian and an accomplished steel pan instructor, entertainer, musical arranger and vocalist.
His musical talent was found and nurtured since the age of 8 by his father and Caribbean music icon, Chester York. The once lead performer in his former high school band (Milton Peters College), the stellar entertainer made a splash when he won best Carnival song in 1982 with the hit "For King." Since his start, the Mighty Dow has recorded 8 albums and has had great international hits like "St. Maarten Rhumba", "Soca Salsa", "Christmas Morning", "Ding Dong" and many others.
