Therapy Launches Car Show....

It’s time to ‘love up we culture.’

Youths in T&T and across the Caribbean are chanting to the beat of their respective nationalities more these days and this is due in part to the great music being unleashed to the masses from all islands. Not only has Jamaica penetrated the minds of Caribbean people but so has St. Vincent, Barbados and now, with the emergence of some very talented youths, Trinidad and Tobago is proving a force, too.

From the belly of the island’s central criminal point, Morvant Laventille- comes a young man who’s bent on eliminating negativity from his language, his way of life and that of his peers. Fresh and ready to take on anything, Therapy, real name- Hayden Peters, is this week unveiling another pivotal track that’ll soon prove essential to his overall elevation.

From the heat of the 2010 Carnival season in Trinidad and Tobago where he released, “Stand Up,” an outcry for the youths to take their lives in a different direction, he’s now relaxing a bit, in a bid to teach the youths and the older heads too, just how much positively engaging fun can be experienced in life.

“ Car Show,” his latest contribution to T&T’s local crossover genre is not only catchy, but the track, which was produced by Klase Gonzales of First Klase Production Studio in T&T, is easy on the ear, relatable and as mentioned above, creates an atmosphere of fun and enjoyment. Already, Therapy has aligned himself with a local car-show promoter to ensure his song penetrates the masses at the namesake event.

With the help of his management team and local publicity firm, ET-CET-ERA The Company, the artiste is bent on taking his music beyond radio stations, but also into regional venues and certainly the advertising market. Coupled with his strong intent and the support of the promotional entity who will on Saturday, May 1^st and Saturday May 8^th, host Cars Reloaded in St. Helena, Trinidad and Extreme Machines in Malabar, respectively, the journey to great musical accomplishment is certainly underway.            

 

Thankful for the support of the DJ’s and mic men who’ve held fast to the promotion of T&T’s music, Therapy says, “ music is in me, in my soul… I can provide it, I just need the masses to hear it and the sky’s going to be the limit!”

BIG THINGS AH 'GWAN' FOR SHURWAYNE WINCHESTER!

Before the world knew about the band Y.O.U., Shurwayne Winchester kept the hearts and souls of Caribbean music lovers across the world, pumping with energy. He kept flags and rags waving in mid air, momentum peaked, and with his groovy melodies he wooed the ladies.

From a decade with the band Traffik to 10 months with Y.O.U., Shurwayne Winchester remains a strong force at the forefront of Caribbean music, and for this reason he has been nominated for an award in the upcoming Sunshine Music Awards.

The event to be held on October 24th in New York City will see homage paid to a number of creators, performers and promoters of the Caribbean’s performing arts. Chairman and Founder of the Sunshine Awards, Gil Figaro, in inviting Shurwayne said that this year’s Grammy-style gala, will be dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People (NAACP). He highlighted that Shurwayne’s presence would ultimately support the committee’s goal which is to pay tribute to the NAACP and our fore-parents for their struggles in ensuring that many can today enjoy the benefits of education and equality in our world.

Winchester feels gratified by, and excited about the nomination. He says, “ whether I’m awarded or not, I feel honored to have even been considered. I’m privileged to have been given the gift that I have and because of the people who came before me, I can sing to people across the world, unhindered. I’ll attend, if only to show my support for the tribute that will be paid to the NAACP.”

“Carnival Please Stay,” the song, which copped the 2008 Groovy Soca Monarch in T&T will stand among other great songs sung by other incredible entertainers from the Caribbean in the category of Best Soca Song. This year, the Sunshine Awards celebrates its 21st anniversary in the Big Apple (NYC), however plans are already underway for a large-scale event to be held in Uganda in 2010
