Singer-songwriter Kunservative is a musician (and businessman) who fuses R&B with trap soul beats to take listeners on a musical journey. Hailing from St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, the artist is an ambassador to his homeland and renowned in the Calypso and Soca scene. His newest single, “Lighta,” brings us a fresh new sound for summer complete with vibrant energy and island vibes.
“Lighta” is a song that speaks to love. It tells of having a spark for someone and the things in life you would conquer for that someone. The ballad weaves simple vocals with a chorus for a smooth, strong delivery of emotion.
Overall, Kunservative’s music can best be described as a truthful telling of real life. “My life is a movie, guaranteed,” says the artist. “I express and sing what most people are feeling and not able to express. Relationships and all of life’s stuff.” Music comes naturally to the performer, who can simply close his eyes and let new music flow through his brain. “I don’t have a set way of writing. I don’t really write. I envision anything I want to sing about. Close my eyes and just go with the flow—whatever goes through my mind” explains Kunservative of his unconventional “writing” process.
Also known as Spacey and Shamall Ferdinand, Kunservative has been making waves in the local music scene for years. Participating in the St. Croix Festival Soca Monarch competition, he was a finalist in 2020 with his hit songs “Fete Interview” and “Sanctuary.”
With strong vocals and a passion for spreading light through his talent, Kunservative has graced the stage as an opening act for reggae artists including Collie Buddz, Third Wold, and R. City. He has collaborated with artists and provided background vocals for numerous collaborations over the years. An active church member, Kunservative also plays the drums at church. The singer and songwriter’s talents go beyond writing—he is above all else, an outstanding musician.
Kunservative acknowledges that nothing in life is perfect—whether that’s getting writer’s block occasionally or wanting to live up to your potential when the road ahead is still long. “I can’t wait for my journey to start,” says the artist. “I want to have something to be proud of.” While humble about his current position, conservative knows it won’t be long until his hard work is recognized.
These days, Kunservative is in the midst of signing to a major label. He works alongside producers Masai Harris, Bengi, loudestro, and Ralph Tiller, among others.
By next year, he plans to partner with artists across major labels and sign to a label himself. He looks forward to leaving the island life behind for international performance adventures.
