Posted on September 28, 2013September 28, 2013 by swadedavillain

Known for his onstage performances and a shocking personality, Keith “Shebada” Ramsey has become a household name in just a few short years. Very controversial at times and is known as the face of Roots Theatre, he joined Winford Williams on Onstage for an interview. Here he spoke about his start in theatre upon being discovered by Christopher “Johnny” Daley, revealing that he had no formal training, the origin of his name “Shebada“, being a very charismatic character on and off stage, his near “cult” following, gaining popularity overseas, future projects, his sexuality being questioned, his name being used in Dancehall Music and other topics. Very interesting interview, he also previewed a clip from his new TV series. While many may not like his personality off stage, he sure is a hit with his many theatrical performances.

NEW VIDEO: @BreakfastClubAM Interviews @DiRealShaggy

Posted on September 25, 2013October 1, 2013 by swadedavillain

Today’s video comes in the form of an Interview with Shaggy from the Breakfast Club on NY’s Power 105.1. Here he spoke about some aspects of Jamaica and misconceptions, his start in the music industry, his new album “Out Of Many One Music“, his style of music and many other topics. Interesting Interview from Shaggy although sometimes I was weirded out by the “twang” and the generic questions. That was a crazy story with him and the late James Brown. You can learn a little of his background in this interview. Check it out below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

On tonight’s episode of Onstage, Winford Williams had a chat with Reggae artist Protoje. Here he spoke about his recent tours overseas and the effects on the fans, calling out the government on not fully supporting the music culture of Jamaica, the growth of Reggae music worldwide, why he chose a Reggae career, Edna Manley School of the Visual and Performing Arts and his band IndiggNation. Great interview and I like how they both called out the Government and encouraged further growth of Reggae music in Jamaica. What do you think of the interview?

NEW VIDEO: @OnstageTv Interviews @KonshensSojah

In today’s music industry many artists can’t just carry home the bread with only the success of hit songs. It’s all about the artist as a brand and so merchandising is the next step. On Onstage Konshens has a brief chat with Winford Williams about his ventures. Here he spoke about his t shirt line that was done a few years ago, his new shoe line Konz876 along with setting up an outlet in Jamaica, how much input he has in the line, the growth of his career and wanting to climb to higher heights. I do hope he finds much success with his new venture, the game changer sneakers aren’t bad though. What you think? Check out the video below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

Who is Deewaan? Many would admit they’ve never heard of him before in the Reggae/Dancehall circuit but somehow he has managed to perform at Reggae Sumfest with the legendary Bounty Killa and was behind a few Jamaican projects. On Onstage tonight, Winford Williams had a quick chat with the International recording artist and producer. In the video Deewaan spoke about his beginnings, his involvement in a few Jamaican projects including the Team Jamaica anthem, his love for Reggae/Dancehall music, working with top acts including Lady Gaga and Bounty Killa with the latter resulting in a song called “Running It Wild“, his first onstage performance ever, and his future projects. Very interesting interview and it shows that Reggae/Dancehall music is a global genre and is very influential. Looking forward to more from Deewaan.

NEW VIDEO: @Onstagetv Interviews Richie Stephens

Posted on August 18, 2013August 18, 2013 by swadedavillain

Reggae music is a dominating genre the world over. Hailing from Jamaica and with the help of acts including Bob Marley, it touched and inspired all walks of life to the point its byproducts were not limited to coming from the island itself. One of the Jamaica acts to witness its global reach and effects is singer Richie Stephens. Here on Onstage he spoke about his recent tour which was a tremendous success, his collaborations with artists from Portugal to Germany including Gentleman, how Jamaica is missing out on all this attention, how local acts can benefit overseas and many more topics. Reggae is a very strong genre and the Jamaican culture broke every barrier possible. If only “Brand Jamaica” made it possible for the locals to benefit as well. What do you think of the Interview?
