In 1999, Onika Bostic was faced with a tough decision; she packed her bags at 19 and moved to the island of Antigua to join Burning Flames. Since then she has recorded many of the band’s biggest hits. Starting with the steamy ballad Aching, followed in 2000 by Mud Dung & Almost Naked. From 2002 Onika became a household name with the monster hit Mash It Up. Mash It Up enjoyed an incredible ride on the charts and captured the 4th runner up spot in the International Soca Monarch Competition.
In 2003 Onika enjoyed a successful year with Wine, Power and the duet No Matter What with Machel Montano. For 2004 Bostic collaborated with Bunji Garlin with Get On Bad, on the “Rush” rhythm. For 2005 Onika is again headed for a successful year with All Yours.
