About Me


Originally from South Trinidad (Cedros/Point Fortin), Jef founded the world's very first Caribbean entertainment portal back in 1996. Since its inception, Toronto-Lime.com has grown into the most popular entertainment website of its kind; now attracting over 100,000 'unique' visitors and generating more than 8,000,000 hits daily. In 2004 the website was nominated for 'Best Urban Website' by UMAC and was also named 'Website of The Year' at the Canadian Caribbean Awards. In September 2006, Toronto-Lime.com was honoured with the 'Favorite Soca Website' award by the SAO International Soca Awards. The site is not only currently ranked the number one Caribbean website, but is also ranked amongst the top 6,000 websites globally, according to market researchers. The website is unquestionably the most comprehensive Caribbean based site on the web, featuring entertainment news, artist profiles, fact files, historical records, worldwide Carnival info and schedules, event and festival photos, desktop themes, DJ mixes, music videos, lyrics and not to mention, the largest Soca/Calypso play list on the net. Many websites have since shadowed the internet guru and attempted to emulate its structure and content. Toronto-Lime.com also introduced an industry first in 2002 when it launched its mobile version ( www.toronto-lime.com/mobile ), which allows wireless users around the world to access the website via cell phone to get updated 'on the fly'. Also an accomplished designer, Jef has also developed websites for leading Caribbean organizations and businesses, including www.GhettoFlex.com , www.DeniseBelfon.NET , www.EvaSimon.com and www.Wheels-Direct.com . More of his work is available at www.toronto-lime.com/jefgrafix . The repertoire doesn't end there; Jef is also the co-founder of North-America's newest Caribbean talent agency www.SocaBookings.com which offers promoters around the world a means of contacting and booking Caribbean artists and international DJ's for concerts and festivals. The roster of stars include Road March Queen 'Patrice Roberts', acclaimed songwriter/performer 'Kernel Roberts', Billboard Chart topper KMC'; and his band 'Red White & Black', plus Roy Cape All Stars, Ghetto Flex and Imij & Co, Iwer George, Mista Vybes, Jamesy P and a host of others.
