PRESS RELEASE: @YakstaCarvanie Drops Anthem For The Workers

Posted on by swadedavillain

“An anthem for those working through the hardships of life” and “Real lyrics!” are just a few words some people have to say about this single entitled “Workers Anthem” created by upcoming Artiste, Yaksta Carvanie.

Hailing from the lush Parish of St. Mary, Yaksta Carvanie is no stranger to the hardships of life. Being one of five children grown in less than ideal conditions and limited finances with a strong and dedicated single mother; he found his solace in writing music. He would often find himself immersed in his thoughts, writing lyrics throughout the night till sunlight to elude his difficulties. Continuing this practice throughout his teen, it’s no wonder that he was able to perfect his skills and put out a single that not only speaks to the everyday man and woman in the “struggle” and are “hustling” to stay afloat, but a single with a powerful, encouraging and effective message. When asked about why he felt the need to pursue this musical journey, he was quoted, “I am music incarnate and I’ve given up on avoiding my destiny”.

It is safe to say that Yaksta Carvanie is out to make an imperishable name for himself. “Workers Anthem” embodies the raw realities of the working man and undoubtedly makes it clear that their hustle matters and a better life is just beyond the hill. With its catchy Dancehall beat and relatable and conscious lyrics, this single off his EP, Stoic Torture – a unique blend of Reggae and Dancehall beats, released on March 10 of this year, produced by Sasaine, under the management of Murdamuzik, is bound to be an anthem that withstands time. It’s not hard to believe that you’ll be putting this single on repeat after you’ve listened to it the first time. Brace yourself for this far from typical Artiste who’s making it clear that he’s here to stay. Look out for Yaksta Carvanie – “Work dem a work dem a work!”

PRESS RELEASE: JahZ I Lee Looks Forward To A Shining Career

Posted on by swadedavillain

Ever since he was very young, Munhaire Lee had dreams of becoming a recording artiste. At the launch of his career, the rising star has released two songs, “Love Yours Refix” (Beauty in the Struggle) by J. Cole featuring himself and “Low Me Mek Me Live”. He adopted the moniker JahZ I Lee, a name that reflects his Rastafarian roots, and gives an insight into his style of music. Jah Z I see himself as an artiste painting a picture with his realistic words of wisdom.

“Music is the most viable medium to convey a message. Having an infinite imagination one begins to compose record and perform. If something is repeated, it then becomes a routine, if that routine is loved then it also becomes a passion” expressed JahZ I. Both songs were produced by Michael “Jagga” Barracks, Askelle and Brown Chopz from the Vision House Family, and Mark Cine Enigma. So far, JahZ I has been receiving tremendous feedback from both songs as they are regarded and greatly applauded for their deeply resonating and truly reflective themes.

“My response thus far has exceeded my expectations, there’s always that one fan that will come up to me and tell me how much they enjoy listening to my music. It is a joy to hear how my audience has taken to my music, and the great thing is I aim to offer difference in my approach. Some time ago my PR Manager, Susan Smith of Powerhouse Global Media, said to me that the world needs my talent and originality and those are words that have stayed with me.”

The upcoming sensation looks forward to a shining career in music and is currently busy in the studio cooking up a storm.
