IRON, RIDDIM.... VIBES!!! Shurwayne Drops, " Nobody Badda Dan We"!!!

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. December 8th, 2011--------His ability to make it sound loud, distinct and fit for the road is unbelievable. One music lover on social networking site, Facebook wrote, "But like Shurwayne went away and come back 'awa'... how he music kickin brass so??? #besstune."  
It was her immediate comment after Winchester's brand new single, Shorty/ Nobody Badda Dan We, dropped on radio stations on Thursday morning. 

Shurwayne's creativity is proving to be stronger than many may have believed in years gone by. Ahead of 2012, he's pushing hard to not just deliver music for the road march or the other competitions. In fact, he's not even talking competition... he's talking entertainment, fun, enjoyment and delivering only the best!

The new track was written by the artiste himself and produced at Platta Studios in Barbados. He said it's his release in the prelude to his power releases and for now, fans and music lovers can sit pretty, knowing that he's given them some of the biggest soca anthems for 2012 so far and there will be others. 

In the meantime, his team is working on the completion of two videos for Wining Addiction and Work It. Following the Christmas season, Shurwayne Winchester is guaranteed to be a force to be reckoned and what's amazing is that his momentum hasn't even peaked just yet....

Shurwayne Winchester Shuts Down Millennium Highway- Set To Release 5th C2K12 Single

Soca artiste, Shurwayne Winchester

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. December 2, 2011--------Dyamic. Versatile. Energetic. 
Those were the words that best described Shurwayne Winchester’s most recent performances. 
On the heels of cable network, Flow’s Christmas party on Saturday, November 26th, Shurwayne 
rolled solo at Woodford Café where he dished out much more than many would’ve expected. Excited for Christmas and the subsequent carnival season ahead, Shurwayne says he’s pulling out the stops and going hard into both seasons as he has nothing to lose.  

“I’m an entertainer,” said the notably relaxed soca superstar last week Saturday night. He had 
been explaining why his repertoire consists of such varying musical items, to an audience that simply wanted more. The event, which took place at the Hyatt Hotel was merely one of a number of Christmas functions Shurwayne and his band of three years, Y.O.U. have been contracted to perform at. He’s a favourite when it comes to events of this nature and that undoubtedly stems from his ability to vocally enforce any genre of music- from hip-hop to dancehall, reggae and of course calypso and soca. His first ever soca parang single, “When 
Christmas Come Around” was a hit at both Flow’s Christmas Party and Woodford Café last week, however it was at Hyatt where he utilized the comical appeal of television personality, Philo, that fans of the artiste truly got a true taste of what he can bring, when he truly decides to go hard.  

On both nights, audience members shouted flatteries, screamed with joy and called for more, 
and that in itself was all that was needed for more to be delivered by the former double Road 
March champ. From Work It to Wine On It, Jiggle It Reloaded and Wining Addict- his music 
ahead of Carnival 2012 continues to be enjoyed by fans and soca lovers. Shurwayne says he 
plans on releasing a power single next but hasn’t dished on whether that would be before or 
after the Christmas season. Most recently, he was in St. Lucia shooting the video for Work It where 
he reportedly shut down the entire Millennium Highway for three hours to shoot the scenes. 
It’s just what happens when he’s bent on getting things right. In 2012, Shurwayne is promising 
plenty vibes, plenty fun and a lot of great music for revelers to enjoy.

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.

No Pressure Billed to Be Nadia Batson's BIG Groovy Single


Frontline vocalists of SASS Megan Waldrond and Queen SASS, Nadia Batson
Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. November 17, 2011-----------Nadia Batson's not about to miss a beat as the season of revelry in Trinidad and Tobago unfolds. The heightened level of intensity is owed to her strong yearning to give only the best of herself and her band SASS, in C2K12 and beyond. 


On the heels of the band's launch last Wednesday, November 9 at Anchorage, Batson on Thursday, November 17 released a single she had been perfecting for weeks. No Pressure was produced by Martian Music and mastered by GBM Productions out of NYC. " This one is for the ladies- We don't want no pressure!", said Batson who wrote the track herself.  Its groove is melodically enticing, soothing on the ear and uncompromising on the waistline's all round agenda. Every woman will love No Pressure, according to Team SASS!


Online, the Buzz has been wild for Nadia Batson. In 2011, she told the media that she was doing everything for the people of Trinidad and Tobago. She'd performed twice at the International Soca Monarch Competition with fellow artistes, Tallpree of Grenada and Patrice Roberts of the HD Family, and even then, a very humble, low-key Batson, told reporters that it wasn't about winning- it was about doing the best that she could. 


2012 is proving to however be a different dynamic. In the season ahead, Nadia will prove herself further- being the first bandleader of an all-female soca band out of Trinidad and Tobago. She's on a natural high and her music is proof enough. No Pressure has been released to radio stations across the length and breadth of T&T and overseas. She's hoping that with the help of her loyal supporters, this track- 'her pet track'- will be as huge as recent releases. This is Batson's fourth release for the season. It follows her hits, Whey Yuh Want with Lyrikal, Hard Pong with Raymond Ramnarine and Shiver on the Antilles riddim.
