Check Out Highlights From The “Born To Shine Talent Search” In Mandeville

Posted on by swadedavillain

On the night of Friday January 24, the Parish of Manchester was the stage for Deejays and Singers to perform at the first staging of the “Born To Shine Talent Search“. Organized by Texroy Elliott and the Born To Shine Committee and held at the Mandeville Primary & Jnr High School, a lot of potential stars showed up to secure the ultimate prize, $1 Million in cash, and a Record Deal. Judges for the event consisted of Producers DJ Mac and Steel Chest, Selector/Media Personality/Producer ZJ Sparks, and Dancehall Icon Bounty Killa, and over 100 Artists participated at the event. In the end, three Artists emerged in Dawk9ine, TrapKween, and Spikey, and Spikey took home the winnings. Before the winner was picked however, Dancehall Artists Fresh King, XKappe, Kraff, and Bounty Killa performed for the people.

For those who were not able to attend the “Born To Shine Talent Search”, we streamed the event on our TikTok platform, and we give thanks for the interactions throughout the elimination rounds. Check out highlights from the event in our video below, and share with a friend.

GET TO KNOW: @TheNewWaveJA

Posted on by swadedavillain

For years there have been talks about making venues for fresh young talent to showcase their works in Jamaica. While some have popped up over time, one that is here to stay is held at the Stones Throw Bar every monday by the name of “New Wave”! Located at 1b Mannings Hill Rd. in Kingston, patrons witness displays of Art from some rising stars from 8PM to 12AM. Since its inception in late 2016, it has quickly become the talk of the town, or rather the Island. For those who don’t know, we recently interviewed a couple members behind the “New Wave” team, Lindsey Lodenquai (Head Coordinator), and Davida-Mae Chambers (Social Media Manager/Coordinator). Open your mind for a “New Wave”!

13thStreetPromo: For those who don’t know, what is the origin of New Wave? How did it come about from an idea to an event?
New Wave: New Wave began with Protoje and Jason Panton who envisioned a platform for emerging local talents- once the idea is there, there will always be a way for it to manifest to fruition.
13SP: Describe a standard night at a New Wave event.
NW: VIBESY! It’s always a great feeling being there with persons who are equally enthused about culture and creativity!

13SP: “Jamaica has so much to offer culturally and artistically from this generation”. What’s New Wave’s stance on this comment, and how important is it for events like this to push Jamaica’s talent?
NW: The comment is so true, the talent this generation has is through the roof! Once we have the resources, It is our responsibility to nurture this talent and allow it to flourish.

ART: Gavid Henry

Posted on by swadedavillain

Hey blogworld! Today marks the first entry in a new segment called “Art Of The Week“. Here I will feature artwork from Jamaican artists on the scene, whether digital arts or other mediums. Today’s art comes from Gavid Henry from Mandeville, Manchester and it’s a scene from a graphic novel/manga he’s currently working on. Really good stuff and this is one example that Jamaicans are really talented. If you want to get in touch with him for work look below.
