@DonAndre Controls @ReggaeSumfest Launch With “Tom Cruise”!

Posted on by swadedavillain

British-based entertainer Don Andre is a highly anticipated debut act for Reggae Sumfest 2016. He made quite an impact at the launch of the event at the Usain Bolt’s Tracks and Records.

The entertainer delivered the chart-topper, Tom Cruise. Host Miss Kitty was fired up on stage and led in the excitement that filled the venue. Don Andre maintained the energy with the Sumfest dancers who taught the audience the new dance move, Jog.

“I’ve always wanted to rock the Sumfest stage. I’m honored to be apart of their 24th Anniversary. Montego Bay is gonna be on fire come July 22nd, I guarantee you. I have a major set planned. I know Mr. Bogdanovich and the team are gonna be thrilled with the presentation.

I love the fact they are placing strong emphasis on the Reggae and Dancehall components this year. Tom Cruise is the song right now, everybody love it, so I have to represent well come Dancehall night,” Don Andre admits.

Don Andre made a major break through with his Tom Cruise record that is on top of the charts and played daily on multiple platforms. It is the choice dance move and song for children across the island and embraced by corporate entities.
.
Tom Cruise has been added to multiple international mainstream radio stations such as HOT 97 in New York, and BBC Radio 1 and 1 Xtra stations in the U.K. Don Andre has joined renowned British based acts Maxi Priest and JC Lodge to acquire hits to the magnitude of household names in Reggae’s homeland.

The Artiste came to prominence via his remake of the Shabba Ranks classic, Needle Eye. Tom Cruise is undeniably one of the most popular selections locally since the start of the year.

He is booked to appear at Dream Weekend, Club Amazura (NY) on July 1st, as well as the YMZ concert at the National Stadium alongside Whip Nae Nae singer, Silento, and Disney star Ross Lynch.

PRESS RELEASE: Spit Fiyah Banking On “Island Sun”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Emerging Singjay Spit Fiyah is hoping his latest song “Island Sun” will find favour among listeners.

“My aim was to sing about that type of person [who] you just can’t get enough of emotionally, physically, and mentally. That person who your love for them goes deeper than romance”

“Island Sun” is produced by Chinchilla Music and Dre Day Production. The single was released in April. According to Spit Fiyah, “Island Sun” has been receiving favourable reviews. He anticipates chart success. Available on iTunes, the Singjay said he’s been bumping up the promotions on Social Media. “I have had a fan from Alaska write to me about the song. I’ve been looking for a new sound and this is really satisfying,” he said.

Spit Fiyah (given name Antroy Palmer) said he knew music was his calling. “I used to write poems and people would say they like it, so a thought came to my mind to try and write a song. I then started off Rapping, but eventually found my way back to my roots of Dancehall/Reggae,” he said. His other release is “Love Me Song”.
