Loading World of Ken
Ken Sambury / Trinidad & Tobago
I am an avid journalist of life. Dreamer, digital marketer, cinematographer, event planner and writer.
World of Ken.
the person
Connecting people.
Bringing dreams to reality.
I grew up in east Trinidad, with one part of my education inside a strict Christian household and the other part everywhere else. Hillview College sharpened my fascination with cultures and how people interact.
It made me slow to judge and quick to appreciate a different point of view. I’m still learning, building connections and sharing ideas.
I bring 100% to every venture. That might mean bringing a Soca artiste into a wedding I’m filming, or selling tickets to an event I’m shooting. I connect the people, ideas and skills around me, then use that experience to shape a longer-term strategy.
The Thinking
Idea to Impact.
The perspective behind the work. A conversation about the decisions that turn an idea into something people can experience.

The Innovation.
The People.
The Work.
My role is one part of the story. The team’s work is another. Here’s how they come together.
Watch, Lime, Eat
Formula 1, good food and a reason to gather…
- Challenge
- Formula 1 fans in Trinidad were scattered across separate circles. I wanted a shared place to watch, with something for friends who came as much for the lime as the race.
- Idea
- Combine Grand Prix viewing with a lime and a meal: a signature dish and cocktail inspired by each race destination.
- My role
- I developed the concept, identity and business model, and worked across venues, sponsors and the growing community.
- Team work
- The team created artwork and films that introduced the featured food and drinks and gave each event its own character.
- Outcome
- The concept became a recurring series across venues, with a community of more than 100 people by October 2026.
Creating Barbahol
Give local cooks a stage, and the party another reason to happen…
- Challenge
- Barbahol needed a reason to exist beyond another party, and a platform for local cooks and food vendors.
- Idea
- Build a cooler fete around a food competition, with preliminaries, finalist dishes and crews that could gather support before event day.
- My role
- I shaped the competition, preliminaries, finals and Tobago execution, connecting vendors with support crews, food reviewers and creators.
- Team work
- We made clean-background plate photographs, advertising and tasting videos that introduced the dishes and the people making them.
- Outcome
- The format gave patrons distinctive dishes to discover and gave chefs and vendors opportunities to meet a wider audience.
Creating Sekon Sunday
Build a complete night around the artist…
- Challenge
- An artist-led event needed to offer a complete night beyond a single performance.
- Idea
- The fetecert combined concert and fete: a dress code, DJ sets and an experience that extended beyond the main stage.
- My role
- I managed the event and marketing, connecting the show to smaller experiences that introduced the artist to different audiences.
- Team work
- The team developed documentary content and campaigns with university partners and bars, each with an audience of its own.
- Outcome
- The event ran for three editions, including a pandemic-era Queen’s Hall edition. Supporting ideas continued beyond the main event.
The Greatest Grenada
Experience Grenada from inside the trip…
- Challenge
- Returning to Grenada Carnival after the pandemic meant arranging access without an official band or event-filmmaker role.
- Idea
- Make immediate cinematic films alongside a longer, personal and informative account of the trip.
- My role
- I arranged access, acted as the on-camera guide and edited some material while travelling.
- Team work
- The team shaped the longer story afterwards, using feedback to preserve my perspective and the experience of the trip.
- Outcome
- The work produced immediate coverage and a fuller trip account. In my account of the project, it also opened conversations with Grenada tourism and Spicemas collaborators.
Branding a Prime Minister
Show the person alongside the position…
- Challenge
- Photographing a national figure calls for attention to the individual as well as the public office.
- Idea
- Use photographs, video and web content to bring personal moments alongside official coverage.
- My role
- I worked as a web content specialist and personal photographer and videographer for then Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley.
- Team work
- My work sat within a wider communications effort, alongside others responsible for the public presentation of the office.
- Outcome
- The work created a body of personal coverage and digital content around a national figure.
Yung Bredda, from Zess to Mainstream
Help an artist’s world take shape before the camera rolls…
- Challenge
- Artist development starts before a shoot: who is involved, where the work happens and how each output contributes to a direction.
- Idea
- Build consistency through visual choices, relationships, locations and collaborators.
- My role
- I worked on decisions behind the photography and video, sourced collaborators, supported casting and production arrangements, and helped shape the wider presentation.
- Team work
- Photographers, filmmakers, lighting, editing and coordination came together around each production.
- Outcome
- The work created a body of visual material supporting a stage of Yung Bredda’s development.

Focus and Food
Focus & Food brings together people whose perspectives I value, puts good food on the table, and makes space for a proper conversation. The KENDAY edition began with a suggestion from Sinead: bring the mastermind concept into a Caribbean birthday lime.
Someone shares an idea or challenge, the room asks questions, and the feedback comes from real experience. There is structure, but there is also room for laughter. The aim is simple: leave with a clearer next step and a stronger connection to the people helping you think it through.

As an event producer, I bring practical experience to the Trinidad and Tobago Promoters Association. My role as Public Relations Officer and Chair of PR & Marketing connects that experience with communicating the Association’s work.
That contribution centres on clear communication, collaboration and helping people understand the work behind an event. It also means supporting conversations about training, professional standards and the conditions event producers need to do their work responsibly.
For me, the wider industry matters as much as any one event. TTPA creates a space for producers to share experience, contribute through committees and work together on the issues that affect the sector.
College Boy Jesse
My relationship with College Boy Jesse has grown across many kinds of work and many stages of life. I shot his engagement video, his wedding video and music videos, and have supported his music career alongside the ventures and activities we have worked on together.
The collaboration also includes event support and podcast development. These shared moments connect personal milestones, music and experiences created for an audience.
Midnight Events
I worked with Midnight Events as they moved into non-club events, offering advice and support. We also collaborated on the Halloween event V and its Vendetta campaign with Kevin.
TRIBE affiliation
Part of the TRIBE family, with community moments, advertisements and a hike vlog along the way.

We’re born out of the fog. Our connection with Fog Angels has grown through returning year after year, capturing the experience, contributing ideas and championing the people behind the band.
We have brought sections, marketed sections and filmed a documentary about the organisation and the work that makes it possible.

THE ARCHIVE
A life worth
remembering.
I’ve been documenting Caribbean people, life and events for years. Some of it lives in memory. Some of it lives in photos and video.
Events came before film. Campus Carnival in 2011 helped draw me toward video; carrying a camera became a way to document the life happening around me.
