Ian Anthonio Alvarez (born July 14, 1978), better known by his stage name Bunji Garlin, is a Trinidadian ragga soca artist.
Alvarez was born in Trinidad and is of Saint Lucian and Venezuelan descent. He married fellow soca artist Fay-Ann Lyons on December 23, 2006, daughter of successful soca singer Superblue. He is also a second cousin of singer Patrice Roberts, who performs alongside the popular Machel Montano.
Bunji has won Trinidad's Soca Monarch/International Soca Monarch competition on several occasions: 2002 (tied with Iwer George) with "Down in the Ghetto", 2004 with "Warrior Cry", 2005 with "Blaze the Fire" Both songs were produced by then band member Shawn Noel (Da Ma$tamind) and 2008 with "Fiery" He placed second in the International Soca Monarch 2009 with "Clear De Road", while his pregnant wife Fay-Ann Lyons placed first with "Meet Super Blue". She also won the Groovy Soca Monarch title that same night with "Heavy T Bumpa".
Bunji Garlin's "Brrt" is featured on the Grand Theft Auto IV soundtrack.
Garlin is a commune in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department in south-western France.
International Soca Monarch is an annual dual-contest soca music event, the finals of which are held on every Carnival Friday (aka Fantastic Friday) in Trinidad and Tobago. Contestants in the event may vie for two separate crowns or titles, the International Soca Monarch (aka the Power Soca Monarch) for uptempo songs, and International Groovy Soca Monarch for slower-paced songs. Recently an additional award has been added, called the People's Choice, which involves text message voting by Digicel subscribers. Subscribers can vote multiple times for their favorite artist during the competition and the artist who receives the most votes is given an additional cash prize. The International Soca Monarch competition has become the mecca of soca artists in Trinidad where the event has been hosted since its inception; and the region, as many artists who have competed on its stage have moved on to successful careers. Dubbed the "Super Bowl of soca music" it is a highly anticipated and well-attended event that has been graced with such internationally acclaimed recording artists.

BUNJI GARLIN - He is known as the Viking of Soca but we would like to call him the fresh prince of the genre. The "Ready for Road" singer is widely credited for a strong resurgence of Soca here in Jamaica right now after years of decline; the same can be said for many other markets. One of his first post Trinidad carnival projects is a collaboration with Mr Skatech, the one known in Reggae as Richie Stephens. Bunji Garlin is gracing our stage right now with that collaboration and so much more.
To complete the Trini invasion right here on our stage we are now joined by the power couple of soca, Bunji Garlin and Fay-Ann Lyons who are here specifically for the return of the Byron Lee founded Jamaican carnival.
