Check out the unedited version of UPFRONT/Inside the Entertainment Industry with host Ray Cornelius and his exclusive conversation featuring the Caribbean music star ALISON HINDS.

The Bajan performer is coming to Atlanta Thursday, June 13 as part of Render Fest ATL and will grace the stage for "one night only" with other global Caribbean superstars including Wayne Wonder, Kevin Lyttle and Elephant Man.

During the conversation, Hinds opens up about honing her music skills while growing up on the dreamy islands of the Bahamas. She also talks candidly about her early days with the supergroup SQUARE ONE and finally achieving success with their 1996 Soca hit, "Raggamuffin." Hinds left the group in 2004 and has since enjoyed a successful solo career while earning the title "Queen of Soca."

Hinds closes out the conversation with Ray discussing her new found passion for motivational speaking and her desire to work with Bajan music icon Rihanna and starring on Broadway.
