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.

PRESS RELEASE: Kapri Pleased With Double Releases

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall Artiste Kapri is on a musical high with the recent release of his two singles “Dark Glass” and “Anything” on the Jah Snow Cone Record label. The two songs continue to grow in popularity, further cementing the Dancehall Artiste as a force to be reckoned with in the musical fraternity.

Kapri has carved out a respectable underground following with the song “Dark Glass”. For the street campaign, he has teamed up with Ghetto Bomb in order to capitalize on this market. So far, the song has been a favourite for places like “Uptown Mondays”, “Boasy Tuesdays”, “Bounty Sundays” and many other popular spots. “Anything” on the other hand, is a song for the ladies and has been enjoying regular rotations on local and International Radio stations. The accompanying video, which was filmed under the direction of Jack Nine Films, was released in early February and is currently enjoying heavy play on local and International TV stations.

The deejay believes that these two songs can propel his career to where he wants it to be and his approach in doing a Radio single and a street single is a strategy to tap into these two markets. “I feel like now is the time more than ever because I have all of the right elements in my camp. I have the right Producer, the right motivators, the right team and Ghetto Bomb in the streets”.

“The reception that we get in the streets so far is a good look. So I’m going to continue to do the work, because there are many more things to come. There are no limits to my music. I am bringing back the nostalgic sound, by incorporating that older era with a modern feel”.

I had a redefining moment in my life, while writing this song. My focus shifted from self to total surrender to God’s will. My musical passion became bigger than just getting on to charts. My new goal was to be a billboard for what I believed in. I yearn to remind Christians that being a billboard is their duty. We are the living advertisement for salvation and grace. The spirit of Jesus within us, should shine for the world to see.”

PRESS RELEASE: @PeppaCeed4Real’s Ready To Party!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Jamaican-born, NY-based recording artiste and restaurateur Peppa Ceed is preparing to take to local airwaves with his latest single “Party Time”. Released in mid-December, the Singjay said the single, which featured Dancehall artiste Gully Bop has been making rounds in the clubs in New York. “I am hoping to have similar or even better luck here in Jamaica. That would be a plus for my career as Jamaicans are the hardest music lovers to place so when they embrace your work, you know you are doing a good thing,” he said. “Party Time” was produced by Peppa Ceed’s Hot Peppa Records.

Peppa Ceed, whose given name is Garvin Hussey, spent his earlier years in Golden Spring, St Andrew. His introduction to music came when he began singing back-up for some of his friends at a community studio. “In those days you had to rehearse sometimes for months to get it right,” he said. Peppa then migrated to New York after completing his Secondary Education at Mount James All-Age School. While living in America life still proved to be a struggle for him which prevented him from continuing to pursue music as a career. He then diverted his attention to operating a West Indian-style restaurant “Peppa Ceed Jerk Chicken Restaurant” in New York. In 2014, he released the single “Lebron James” which he said is still being played in small clubs in the Tri-state area. This was followed by “Whine Fi The Peppa” in 2015.
