Being the Queen of the Dancehall is no easy feat for Lady Saw. Being on the frontline for many years, she has done a lot for Dancehall and has influenced many. Tonight she had a chat with Winford Williams about her career and more. Here she spoke about her lengthy career and paying respect to those before her, her feuds in Dancehall, creating history as she’s the first female Deejay to close Dancehall Night at this year’s Reggae Sumfest and her history with the event, requesting an all female Reggae Sumfest lineup, her single “Summer Love” and her new love, new projects, tours and more.

Gideon

Recording artiste Elad Gideon, who recently released his single ‘Wile Life’ on SoundCloud, is set to release a music video for the song. The video was shot with the assistance of upcoming director, Shevoneese McFarlane in St. Andrew and Portmore. Elad explained, “The music video comes in the form of a short film. It captures the wild spirit of my single ‘Wile Life’, and highlights the different sides of Jamaica.” He further outlined that the video follows three characters on an adventurous journey. He shared that he was inspired by old movies such as ‘The Dark Knight’ and ‘The Town’; “My music video has a similar feeling, but comes with a twist.”

The ‘Wile Life’ artiste is also working closely with his band D’Kreation and his own recording label R-Magedon Republic that he co-owns with childhood friend, Christophe Wesley. The artiste and budding entrepreneur is also preparing to start his promotional runs and tease his single ‘Gringo Style’ which he describes as a ‘spin off’ from ‘Wile Life’. Elad Gideon has also produced singles such as ‘Just Life’ and ‘The Worst’ which will be released later this year.

The Dancehall Diva D’Angel needs no introduction to many. While she has kept eyes glued to her, and brought the energy in her performances over the years, there are still those who may not know a lot about the artist born Michelle Downer. Get familiar with her below and share your thoughts in the comments section. And so!

1. What are the 5 words that best describe D’Angel?

Happy, Fun loving, Kind hearted, Hardworking, Resilient.

2. Who have been some of your influences musically and otherwise during the development of your career?

I admire (Singer) Diana King for her great musical ability and even more so we are from the same community. I also look up to (Deejay) Lady Saw who has paved the way for me as a female Dancehall Artist. My mom is another who is my tower of strength, and she has been a great supporter throughout my entire career. Finally, my son Marco Dean who is the driving force in my life.

3. What’s the process like for D’Angel when creating music?

When it’s time to get creative, I think about real life issues and write songs that people can relate to worldwide. I don’t just write from my personal issues, I also draw ideas from others who are going through different issues.

4. What’s the Dancehall scene like overseas compared to Jamaica when you’re touring?

When I’m on tour, I’m meeting and performing for people from different ethnic backgrounds. The differences are few but in the end, they mutually love and embrace Reggae and Dancehall music.
