THE BOOM CHAMPIONS PREPARE TO CELEBRATE 5 YEARS

Local media entity, Radio Vision Limited, some five years ago welcomed a new addition to the family. Brainchild and entertainment personality, O'brian Haynes established and nurtured what was initially, Rhythm City 94.1FM  and eventually distinguished the brand by calling it simply, The BoomChampions 94.1FM. 

Strong, marketable and competitive in programming, the urban frequency which is based at 88-90 Abercromby Street, in Port-of-Spain has proven, in its five year life span, that with hard work, set goals and great ambition, anything can happen. In this short time, the station, which is seen as one of the more tech savvy, youth oriented frequencies, has managed to capture a large percentage of the urban market in Trinidad and Tobago, with radio programming that is entertaining, informative and healthy.

Great music, coupled with presenters and dj's who add spunk, style and charisma to each hour, in the past five years has seen the BOOM become a force to be reckoned among urban frequencies on the twin island republic.

This June, the BoomChampions celebrates 5 years of bliss. In the coming days, there will be many revelations about an event that most of T&T's party lovers will rush to attend. There's so much in the making they say, and with only five years behind their backs, and already with so much accomplished, the question is- how much more can there possibly be?
Rest assured though that with CEO O'brian Haynes at the helm, that question's already answered!

Luni Spark & Electrify Hit T&T By Storm

The regional integration that’s made possible through the Greatest Show on Earth, has begun.

Lunni Spark & Electrify, the sensational Grenadian duo who in 2007 and 2008 took home Grenada’s Soca Monarch title, spent both Thursday and Friday in Trinidad and Tobago,  releasing new music and starting the buzz for 2010. 

The pair has teamed up with Mr. Spine’s HolyHouse Production and The Millionaire Family who’ve already produced a number of hits ahead of the season. Together, they've unleashed four tracks for the masses. “ Ah Wining,” "Wine It,” “Eruption,” and “ Doh Call It,” debuted in T&T, in a pre-carnival buzz that’s already taking over the Christmas season. The Grenadian boys’ stint in Trinidad saw them stop by most media houses, including Synergy TV and many of the popular radio stations.

Self proclaimed,‘ Energy Kings of Soca,’ Luni Sparks & Electrify have started their 2010 soca campaign strong, riding high on the wave of success at the 2009 International Soca Awards. Although the event in itself was cancelled, Caribbean received their merit for the hard work put in, in 2009. In a release, the awards committee presented the pair with awards in the categories of, Best Soca Collaboration Up-Tempo and Best Soca Duo. 

Their stay in T&T, though brief – was meant to keep the momentum high heading into the New Year. In the weeks ahead, there’s no doubt that the youthfully vibrant pair will be back to stomp their names all over Carnival island. 

ABOUT LUNI SPARK & ELECTRIFY:

Grenadian brothers Kelson and Kellon Ogist have been a part of the soca fraternity for the past 6 years- first as individual solo acts, before combining their talents in 2005. In 2007, they caught the attention of the Caribbean with a track called, “ High.”

Known for other soca singles like, “Come Back,” “Home Sweet” and “Miss The Mas,” the brothers are keeping atop their game and have set their sights on attaining the most out of the Caribbean's music industry.

A Spankin New Video Will Re-Introduce A Carnival WINNER!!!

Smack in the center of the summer, one of the year’s hottest music videos will be released and will make its way into the homes of thousands, if not millions around the Caribbean and the world. Fan club members of www.shurwaynewinchester.com will see it first on Wednesday, June 17th though, guaranteeing a web induced buzz early on, and certainly meandering onward to the streets of Port-of-Spain, Arima, San Fernando and just about everywhere else on planet Earth.

Sounds a bit far fetched you think? Well, according to the urban crew- yes, the crew around town who’s been systematically shaping the ‘new’ Shurwayne Winchester and his spanking new band Y.O.U., the images that’ll come to life to match the words of 2009’s hit track, You, are out of this world, fitting the man who will be known in 2010 as the epiphany of Trinidad and Tobago Carnival.

Another E-Zone Entertainment/Militainment production, the video was produced by Lisa Wickham and directed by S*Felix and Lisa Wickham. The team has been working with Winchester since 2005.

“We made a concerted effort to create, style and build an on-screen persona and image for Shurwayne that could transcend to his stage performance, from his super hero character in ‘Dead or Alive,’ to the romantic image in ‘Don’t Stop,’ to his sexy on screen image in ‘Make It Yours.’ ‘You’ (Energy) merges the two, since it brings out the super action hero image and combines it with him as a sex symbol in the teaser at the end, ” explained the directors.

“In addition, the idea behind the video was to create a concept for a Carnival song that had a big cinematic feel and texture and demonstrated that soca videos don’t always have to be about jump and wave images.”

Both Whickam and Felix agree that Shurwayne is adventurous, adding that as an entertainer, he’s always willing to push the envelope and above all, has absolute trust in the team. The directors of this cutting edge new video, both say they feel proud of the work done, as the team was able to introduce new, unconventional shooting styles and angles as well as never before seen within the industry, on- screen special effects make-up.

As with everything he touches, Shurwayne Winchester’s band is quickly becoming an explosive unit of strength, vibes and energy and with a recently completed state of the art building that houses a studio and band room, the members of Y.O.U. all agree that nothing else but life is required to produce the hits for Carnival 2010 and beyond. Armed with his worldly online slogan, Go Green, Shurwayne Winchester is revolutionising the game, making things not just good, but damn good with every hit he brings.
