Many
other hits would follow including,
“show me your motion”
(1990) and “wine on a bumsee”
(1993). After 1993 Jai began performing
and recording primarily in the Chutney
Soca arena and hits such as Doolahin,
Rosie Bilna and Jarah Lagehla propelled
him into the International arena.
Jai
captured the Chutney Soca Monarch
title in 1998/1999 and the National
Chutney Monarch title in 1999/2000.
In 2001 he tied for 1st place (with
Bunji Garlin) for the Young King Title
and in 2002 for the fourth time in
five years, Rikki Jai was chosen Chutney
Soca Monarch.
He
manages his career and business affairs
himself and is in demand for his energetic
and charismatic performances all over
the U.S. the U.K and beyond. Intensely
guarded about his personal life, Jai
prefers to stay home (he lives with
his sister) when he is not performing.
He told the Sunday Express in July
2000, “When I leave the stage
I tend to do family-oriented things.
I don't like clubs and I don't like
to party, I love movies and river
limes. My big thing is renting a movie
and just kicking back and staying
close to those I have known all my
life."
