Global fitness leader Zumba, known for making people happy all over the world, has partnered up with Pitbull’s record label, Mr. 305 Inc., to celebrate International Day of Happiness on March 20th. The International Day of Happiness was established in 2012 by the U.N. General Assembly and hopes to recognize the “relevance of happiness and well-being as universal goals and aspirations in the lives of human beings around the world” and in public policy objectives.

To celebrate, Zumba is launching a video campaign set to the contagious remixed track of “My Jam,” performed by internationally famed Dancehall artist Mr. Vegas featuring Pitbull. The music video for “My Jam” is live on Zumba’s Facebook page and includes Mr. Vegas and 8-year-old YouTube dancing sensation Aidan Xiong jamming to the happiness anthem.

Zumba is inviting fans across the globe to join the movement and upload their own happy dance to “My Jam” on Instagram with the hashtags #zumbahappy and #InternationalDayOfHappiness for the chance to win various prizes.

“Pitbull contacted me and said, ‘I want you to hear this song because it makes me even happier than ever,'” recalled Zumba CEO Alberto Perlman. “As soon as I heard ‘My Jam,’ I knew it was the perfect song for International Day of Happiness — and today we share it in order to inspire others.”

“My Jam” has also been nominated to MixRadio and the UN’s “#HappySoundsLike” campaign, the world’s happiest playlist created to celebrate International Day of Happiness.

“It.. just.. It was fate, it had to happen” – @iAmVinDon

Do you disdain Jamaica? How do you feel about Hip-Hop generally? I’d cleverly advise you to close your browser if you come across this page not willing to #PayAttention. Eutopia is the place to be March 28th & even though the event is Kingston-based, i’m about to prove that some of the island’s most talented rappers do not solely only originate from the nation’s capital.

Pay Attention March 28 2015 Flyer (Back)

VinDon of BluRok is present.

Q: Welcome to the #PayAttention line up! You ready to hit the stage and deliver a killer performance

A: Respect! No doubt, it’s what I do.

Bonus: I caught wind that you’re the son of Ninja Man, can you confirm this?

PRESS RELEASE: @QQWorld Sports New Look!

QQ

Dancehall recording artiste QQ has been flaunting a new image. The ‘One Drop’ artiste who recently made an appearance on Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall turned many heads with his new ‘do’ and his militant attire. “I have been in entertainment for some time now and my fans have seen me grow. I think at every phase in my life from childhood to being a teenage and now an adult it is imperative for me to rebrand” shared QQ.

When asked about the reception of the fans to the new look, QQ shared “the female fans love it and I receive a lot of fan mail and comments on social media about it”. The artiste added that his team chose this look after being inspired by international pop sensations ‘Prince’ and ‘Michael Jackson’.

While QQ was introduced to us at the tender age of 10, the ‘Stookie’ artiste have made several changes and further created massive waves in his 11 years of pursuing music. With successes from singles such as ‘Jack Hammer’, ‘One Drop’, and ‘Turn Me On’ to name a few, QQ does not intend on slowing down. He added, “Music to me is an art, it is my lifestyle and my passion. I am working even harder to produce more hits”.

QQ is set to embark on his ‘Jack Hammer Tour’ this March in the United States and Canada.
