Kern Rose Beefs Up His Resume- Fashion Designer & Artiste Now Added!

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. December 9, 2011---- Kern Rose is no new face. He’s been around and he understands the ins and outs of the entertainment world. Now, he’s making some very big statements ahead of Carnival 2012 in Trinidad and Tobago and anyone who believes he doesn’t have the gumption to make it all happen, better think again.  

As one of T&T’s leading video directors, the young creator says he’s about to cause a tumultuous stir in the weeks ahead as he launches a number of things, one of which is 

something called Fashion Marshon. 


The name may sound a bit strange but one opportunity to see inside the mind of Kern Rose would ultimately lead to a greater understanding of his vision. The young entrepreneur is going full speed ahead, launching his very own clothing line which he’ll call Fashion Marshon- the second part of the name being a new sobriquet he’ll give himself as the season ultimately unfolds. “ I’m currently in the process of developing the line with popular young urban designer, Fashion Dandy and it’ll be all about 

the entertainers and other industry peeps,” said Rose. He said the aim was to make local entertainers stand out and be seen for that which they are- unique, stylish and a cut above the rest. Rose also plans on launching his website to the world on December 15th- something he assures will be a one of a kind platform for many in the Caribbean diaspora. “Nothing like this has ever been done,” said Rose, refusing to let the cat entirely out of the bag for now. He assured that it would be something that many would be intrigued by and urged entertainment practitioners and others who enjoy Caribbean entertainment, to keep their ears and eyes peeled to news of the industry as the date draws closer.  

On a third leg, Kern Rose is putting his voice to work. Get this… in 2012, Kern Rose will officially be an artiste. Not only is the young professional changing his name, but he’s planning something called the Marshon Take Over which will essentially start with his first ever soca release ahead of C2K12. “ The track is called, Wifey Less and it was produced by London Future,” explained Rose. He noted that Future was well known for creating mega hits for Trini male-duo Nebula 868, among their tracks, Amped Up and Words Can’t Explain. What’s even more impressive is the fact that Rose has rested the mastering of his track in the highly capable hands of Precision Production- a team best known for their work with artistes such as Machel Montano, Destra Garcia and even Kees. 

The year ahead promises to see great things out of Kern Rose’s camp. He’s highly motivated and willing to take the necessary risks to make everything become reality. He has the mind of a winner and the heart of a champion so when he says, “I’m doing it!,” you had better believe that it will be done.  

Nadia Batson To Make TT History With All Female Band

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. July 15, 2011------ There’s been nothing like it in Trinidad and Tobago. It’s an idea that’s fresh and filled with possibility. It has started off with one 

Caribbean songstress and promises to unleash some eight to 10 beautiful and talented female musicians onto the music scene. Nadia Batson is the woman behind it all.  

Come 2012, Carnival island will see the emergence of it’s first ever all-female soca band and according to Batson, the energy will be electrifying. The plunge, while somewhat daring comes at the right time, according to the Caribbean Girl vocalist.  

Her idea?... to shake things up a bit, create a stir and showcase women in a way they’ve never quite been seen before. She wants to create a one of a kind product within the realm of T&T’s entertainment tradition and she’s going to use feminine appeal to do it just how she envisions. “ I’m about to launch a new band, with a new sound- fully powered by women!,” she laughed, 

but Nadia is not kidding.  

The recent circulation of news that a top entertainer out of Trinidad and Tobago was scouting for female talent in the form of vocalists, dancers and instrumentalists, came from Batson’s camp. On July 17, the final leg of auditions for all three categories of artisans takes place at the 

Ken Galt room, Centre of Excellence in Trinidad. 
According to Batson, the response has been tremendous. Her excitement is real and her ambitions are plenty as she looks forward to establishing a group of young, dynamic, impressionable women who are talented and are willing to share their talents with the world. “ This is not about Nadia Batson,” she said, “ It’s about showcasing a group of women who can thrill audiences with their talent, their 

eccentricity and charisma. I want the members of this group to all be known and I want us all 

to share the spotlight,” she said excitedly.  

Even as auditions continue, Batson has already announced that the women of her new band, 

whoever they will be- will be catered to by local and international stylists to ensure that every 

stage appearance is mind blowing, creative and adds value to the show. Her aim is to offer a 

top-notch stage production filled with creative dynamism, all with a touch of feminine appeal. 

She says she believes this has been missing somewhat, and promises that she will be the first to 

bring entertainment of this nature, to the stages of carnival events come 2012.   

Batson said she will continue to fulfill all previously booked commitments with Kes The Band 

and while she acknowledged the greatness of being a part of the group, she said she’s 

confident that she can inspire a fresh sense of Caribbean flair to the region’s music circuit.
