T&T Super Producer Makes His Presence Felt Ahead of C2K12

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. November 18, 2011------------- The producer with the swag of a stunner’s at it again. Holy House Production’s Mr. Spine has been known for creating some of 

the most amazing beats out of T&T with the young artistes of the Millionaire Family riding them hard in recent years. Now, ahead of Carnival 2012 in T&T, the man who usually sits behind the scenes and directs the sound is prepared to stand at the fore, ready to deliver some tough ‘stuff’ as he delves into the realm of being an artiste.  

A first release entitled For D Carnival is just what it says- a track for the carnival season that will penetrate the souls of true fete lovers. Together with singing sensation, Buffy, Mr. Spine 2.0 as he’s now being called, is making use of his vocal ability, coupling it with his skill behind 

the mixing board and computers to deliver nothing short of magic to the people he feels deserves to hear it, feel it and move to it. It’s just a taste of what’s to come as he assures a number of self-produced singles will hit the market as the season unfolds. Another track 

alongside IRAWMA award winning artiste, Buffy will hit the airwaves soon after the first release and according to the duo, this one will make a statement. “ It’s called, For De Lovin, and it’s about the lengths that two people would go for each other’s loving,” explained the super producer. The second single admittedly invokes emotions and Spine said the combination makes for some really good musical listening.  

Holy House Production has lent its expertise in musical production to many artistes in recent 

years. Having secured a distribution deal with Universal Records’ InGrooves, for tracks on the 

Flex Riddim earlier this year, Mr. Spine 2.0 has been hard at work. He’s worked with a number 

of entertainers from across the Caribbean, among them Shabba Ranks, Beenie Man, 

Konshens, Rayvon, Pamputee, Meritol Family, Orlando Octave and the other talented artistes 

who make up the Millionaire Family, among others. Now, his new mission to infiltrate vocally 

with self-produced singles not only sends a strong warning but also a tremendous message to 

other youths looking on. “I feel that we’re all capable of charting the course we want in this 

life. Music is my passion but why should I be bound to one aspect of it? I feel I have what it 

takes to give more of me and I want other young people to understand that there’s always 

something more for them out there. They just have to go after it!” he said. 

Mr. Spine 2.0 is ready for C2K12 and he’s bringing a strong catalogue with him. With 

determination to make it all a success, Mr. Spine 2.0- youthful and determined in every sense, 

is looking forward to an interesting season ahead. 

Trinidad and Tobago's Holy House Productions Signs International Music Distribution Deal

Trinidad and Tobago's Holy House Productions has struck gold, securing a distribution deal with INgrooves- Universal. The contractual agreement between the local production house and the digital media distribution and technology company was signed earlier this week and will solidify on April 12th when distribution of tracks on Holy House Productions' Flex riddim, commences.

Producer, Mr. Spine sealed the deal after talks with musical cohort ABM who runs Trini Platinum Entertainment – an independent label based in Los Angeles. Trini Platinum Entertainment also has a distribution deal with San Francisco based, INgrooves-Universal and as such was able to make the necessary introductions that led to a deal with the local outfit.

The one-year arrangement will see the music of artistes such as the Millionaire Family, make digital strides across some 50 countries, including the United States and Europe. Mobile and online download retailers serviced by the 9-year-old company include Amazon.com, eMusic, iTunes and Rhapsody with additional leverage being attained via distribution channels, Rdio and Spotify. INgrooves-Universal also offers mobile products such as ringtones and ringbacks to over 700 online stores around the world.

Holy House Productions' Mr. Spine says while the music on the Flex riddim cannot be categorized as Soca, he is confident that the distribution company will have no qualms when it comes to distributing tracks on soca riddims. The Flex riddim features T&T's Millionaire Family artistes Orlando Octave, Kerry John, Fadda Moses and Smooth. Beyond the Flex riddim, the local super-producer says he is currently working on other compilations for release. Additionally, with plans to further market the Millionaire Family overseas, Spine says the group will soon finalize a tour of the United States. "This is a blessing," said the 23-year- old Central, Trinidad native, adding, "I now have an avenue to funnel my music out to the world."
