In 1985, Denyse Plummer gave birth to the couple’s first child after becoming pregnant after her marriage to Patrick Boocock. In the end, they were blessed with two sons. The fact that Plummer’s mother lived with her and contributed to the upkeep of the household, as well as the fact that Plummer’s sister coordinated her schedule, contracts, and other parts of her job, were all factors that helped her succeed professionally. In the year 2015, Plummer made the public announcement that she had undergone a spiritual rebirth and was subsequently baptized at World Outreach Church Ministries.
Denyse Plummer was born in Saint James in 1953 to a family that belonged to the middle class. Her mother, Joan Plummer, was of light-skinned Afro-Trinidadian descent, while her father, Dudley “Buntin” Plummer, was of the white Trinidadian race. Her dad was a member of a folk band called Le Petite Musicale and played the guitar there.
She received her education at Holy Name Preparatory and Holy Name Convent, both of which are located in Port of Spain. She participated in the folk chorus while she was a student at Holy Name Convent, and she went on to win multiple youth music competitions. In 1986, Plummer made her debut at the Calypso Fiesta, which was held in Skinner Park in San Fernando and was part of the National Calypso Monarch semi-finals. It is common knowledge that a segment of the audience at the competition takes great pleasure in making fun of newbies or performers whom they do not like.
Signs reading “white people don’t sing calypso” and “Denyse Plummer, go back to South Africa” were displayed by spectators who disapproved of the multiracial singer’s performance of calypso and who objected to her doing so. She took up the toilet paper and waved it at the audience, including it into her show and winning over some of the viewers in the process. They threw oranges and rolls of toilet paper at her.
In 2011, she was awarded the Hummingbird Medal for her achievements. During the Calypso Queen event that took place in 2015, she was presented with a prestigious accolade from the NWAC. On August 27, 2023, Plummer passed away at the age of 69. Condolences are been sent to her family members and friends.
