Ms.POSH:  Andrew Mac! How are you? …

Andrew: I'm doing well thanks... grateful to be healthy and still an active musician in these turbulent times.
 
Ms.POSH: I came to Jamaica last month but my time was so short I didn’t get to call you. Just had to admit that since I remember that

Ms. POSH:The last time we spoke was almost 4 or 5 years ago in Brooklyn, NY. Do you remember? …

Cezar: I do remember. I think it was 4 years ago at a spot called ‘Speak Easy’. Hope I recall the name correctly . 2) So what have you been up to? I’ve continued writing, and recording, doing shows, even acting! Most importantly I’ve become a father in that time and that has changed my life and my focus tremendously.

POSH: As an artist how would you describe yourself?

Chardanai: I would describe myself as versatile, creative and unique.

POSH: When did you first discover that this is the career that you wanted?

Chardanai:  I realised from a young age possibly aged 7 that music was for me, I've always enjoyed good music and grew up with it all around me.

Tami Chynn: The Jamaican Prima Donna

 

 

 

 

If asked, Jamaican recording artist Tami Chynn would easily declare that she is “every woman.” She would certainly try to convince you that she is just like everyone else, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Now that she is poised to take the international music scene by storm, the self-proclaimed “nurturer” declares that she is headed in a new direction both musically and personally.“What’s important to me has changed.

Success is not measured by how many records I’ve sold.” Notwithstanding that, Tami at the time was fine-tuning her album Prima Donna; her major label debut with SRC/ Universal Records­

 

It is no surprise that the sexiest music leaving the western hemisphere is coming from the Caribbean, from Reggae to Soca, every Caribbean body carries an eccentric rhythm.  Even though we know the big names coming out of the Caribbean like Rihanna from Barbados, Sean Paul from Jamaica and Shaggy also from Jamaica, who is behind the mastery of Caribbean music?  From writers to producers, there are hundreds of people involved in the success of Caribbean artists who we would never recognize by name or by face.  However, without these spectacular people, we would never have many of the musicians and artists that we admire.
