MALAKHI


MALAKHI
With a name that resounds the meaning Messenger of God, MALAKHI Revolutionist & Reggae Recording Artist Extraordinaire, delivers his potent lyrics with the sting of the Forefathers such as Bob Marley, Peter tosh, Burning Spear, Jah-cure, Stephen Marley, Midnite, Beres Hamond and Sizzla Kolonji to name a few


The name chosen for him by a friend, resonates when Malakhi delivers his message to his following as if Martin Luther King or Malcolm X re-incarnated through him.
His message written from experiences drawn from his personal life and anything that strikes a chord with him, whether the inspiration comes from nature, life or just a word to sound the power, providing comfort, support for his fans while he identifies with the feeling of the 99% that faces the challenges that life offers.
“I do music for the people, cuz I’m for the people and if I can’t do that then my life is worth nothing, mi name Malakhi and I’m the messenger so certain hype music I won’t do. Although I am an entertainer, I take what I do seriously so I’ll leave the fun part to McDove my Producer”.
As with the most successful recording artists, Malakhi got his start doing music in the church where he played keyboard, he then made his transition to bass then on to a professional backing band that afforded him the global opportunities to own his skills on the stage and off with his distinct commanding tone & witty lyrical style while his soulful silky voice was improved by performing as a wedding singer enhancing his musical dynamics and range.
“It’s can be daunting sometimes because I get the run around from producers until 
McDove though skeptical at first eventually decided to take the chance with me”.
The unique combination between them gelled with the advent of a few songs garnering respect from fans as far as Kazakhstan, Israel, Europe, France, Kenya, Brazil, Ecuador, Columbia and
the tri-states of North America and South America.
Singles such as NOT FORGOTTON speaks to those who’ve lost a love one. WORLD CRISIS feat XCI highlight and addresses some on the root of the issues that our planet is facing from the ruling political elites and how we can take a stand.
LOVE THAT I’M FEELING provides support for those in a stable or unstable relationship, it brings hope and restoration. MAN A WARRIOR – is for the real warriors by a real warrior. “revolutionary is Imminent”, and STICKY delivers a strong message to the Political body about the way they conduct the affairs of their nation.
Blazing the old Zion trail with new fervor, the album is set to be released in the later part of the year as song the deal is inked for 2015 Grammy promo tour.

Brian Williams was born March 4th 1980 in Spur Tree district in the Parish of Manchester. He is the 4th child for his parents Sesciel Hayden and Ralph Williams. 
He grew up with his brothers and sister and soon started to sing at church where his musical interest was inspired. After gaining his early childhood education at Fairfield All Age, he moved to Bellefield Comprehensive high School where he started to write songs. Very soon he was performing at his schools Bar-B-Q and at other events in his community using the stage name “Willy” a name taken from his last name Williams. After he left high school in 1997 he wrote more songs and was still performing. 
In 1999 he attended the Newport Training Centre (Heart) for one year where he achieved a certificate in Welding and Fabrication. In early 2000 he did his first professional recording at Cell Block recording studio in Kingston. This was a dancehall song entitled “I can get her”. After changing to write conscious lyrics his stage name changed to “Stikki” a name given to him by his friends at Heart because of his stick looking body structure. Being encouraged by his community members, he wrote more and more positive songs and did more stage shows thus fuelling his interest in his new found love “positive” music. He started to do dub plates for sound systems, which helped him to spread his message in and around the parish of Manchester, which gave him more popularity. Clean lyrics is what he writes and performs now. Holding unto the strength of “JAH” and his Rastafarian faith. Still doing this he hopes to break into the main stream of music. These are the words Stikki lives by: - “At the end of the day, Pure and clean is the only way You will enter”.

Mavado Big Move

Mavado

A reggae singer influenced by the likes of Bounty Killer and Cutty Ranks, David Constantine Brooks, aka Mavado, was born and raised in one of Kingston, Jamaica's more dangerous ghettos, Cassava Piece. Church and a desire to deliver a socially conscious message to the people kept Mavado out of serious trouble. Encouraged by a friend, Mavado visited Junior Reid's recording studio in Kingston, where he met his hero, Bounty Killer. The reggae star recognized the young singer's talent and introduced him to the likes of vocalist Predator and manager Julian Jones-Griffith. In 2004 Mavado released "Real McKoy," his breakthrough single recorded over the Daseca crew's Anger Management riddim. Two years later, the Red Bull and Guinness riddim and the song "Weh Dem a Do" would give him his next big hit, and the successful "Dreaming" and "Bawl Dem a Bawl" singles would follow soon after, but the momentum was almost brought to halt when his father was murdered in Switzerland.
After fighting for his father's body and its return to Jamaica, Mavado resolved a feud with fellow dancehall artist Vybz Kartel. The feud was responsible for violence between the artists' crews along with numerous diss tracks, including "Warn Dem" and "Informer" from Mavado and "Alliance Diss" and "Mafraudo" from Kartel. With all this out of the way, Mavado was able to complete his debut album, Gangster for Life, for the VP label. The 2007 release featured more hits like "Top Shotta Nah Miss" and "Dying" plus "Real McKoy with a Full Clip," a new mix of the track that, a year later, would be featured in the popular video game Grand Theft Auto 4: Liberty City. His 2008 cut "I'm on the Rock" would feature Jay-Z on its remix before being re-recorded as "We Need Barack" in support of the presidential hopeful. That same year, he continued to cross over to the world of hip-hop with an appearance on 50 Cent and G-Unit's album T.O.S.: Terminate on Sight. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi

Anthony Cruz


 Anthony Cruz

Anthony Cruz with his soulful voice, captivating eyes, sexy physique, classy attire, shy-guy demeanour, fun-loving attitude and slick stage act, is regarded as one of the most charismatic entertainers around. There’s no mistaking the mesmerising effect he has on the ladies. After a decade of holding his own in the music business, this talented singer is cruising his way to becoming one of Jamaica’s greatest singers. Born ROWAN SMITH on December 17th, Anthony Cruz grew up in Mandeville, Manchester. Hailing from a talented musical family - being the nephew of the celebrated singer Garnett Silk, as well as having a mother and father who were excellent singers - Cruz was convinced from a young age that he was destined to be a great singer. After graduating from Holmwood Technical High School, Cruz migrated to the United States, spending a few years in New York before moving to Miami. In 1993, while residing in Miami, fate would lead him to meet producer Willie Lindo who was impressed with a demo tape he heard of the artiste. Lindo decided to take him under his wings, working with the young singer to hone his rich vocals. Under his management, Cruz’s career blossomed and the singer learned the ropes of the entertainment business. Convinced the world was ready for him, Lindo released Cruz’s debut single, ‘Tell Me What’s Up’ (an original). It wasn’t long before Cruz became a hit in Miami with the number one tune, ‘Just Call My Name’. The single made him a household name, and as it made its way to the airwaves and charts in New York, England and other places, Cruz’s popularity increased. He consequently released his debut album titled ‘Where There Is Love’ produced by Willie Lindo. The album featured the title track as well as the big hits ‘When You Get Lonely’ and ‘Love Will Never Die’. In 1999, Cruz decided to return to Jamaica to claim his piece of the pie in the land of his birth and the home of Reggae music. The first song he recorded was titled ‘Maria Maria’ (a cover of the Santana/Product G&B big hit) on the Chemist label. The lovers’ rock singer went on to record for other producers, releasing tunes like the popular ‘Them Boy Deh Nuh Really Know We’ for CJ Records and ‘You Remind Me’ for John John. Always sticking to his themes of love, culture and reality lyrics, Cruz delivered his big hit ‘You Got It Bad’ for Mixing Finger, ‘Closer I Get To You’, 'Place Too Bloody' featuring Buju Banton, 'People Ballin' on the truths & Rights riddim for Bobby Konders (Massive B Label), ‘Single Once Again’, ‘In The Club’ (a combination with Louie Culture), ‘Crazy Over You’, ‘Love Has Taken Over Me’, ‘Turn It Up’, ‘I Pray’, ‘A Man’s Weakness’, among others. Continuing on the path to take his career to the ultimate level, Anthony Cruz signed a management, booking and recording contract with Fifth Element Records in the summer of 2000. After five successful years he departed in September 2005 and started his independent recording label, Shanshan Music. His sophmore album “Mama Blessing” and title track was released in December 2005. His 3rd album "Fight With All Your Might" was released on Penthouse/VP Records in April 2008. Over the years Cruz showcased his unique style and soulful voice on prominent events such as Sting, Rebel Salute, Reggae Sunsplash, Rottom Reggae Splash, Summerjam, Capleton "St Mary Me Come From", Stone Love’s annual anniversary dance, not to mention several school fetes where the girls swarm him like bees to honey as he charms his way into their hearts. His latest singles are 'You'll Think of Me', 'Block The Road', 'So In Love', 'Foolish Heart' & 'Only The Father' on John Johns' remake of Bob Marley Coming in from the cold riddim. His new album "CRUISE CONTROL" will be released on Tads Records in 2010. Anthony Cruz is now focusing on expanding his Shan Shan imprint, touring, increasing his music catalog and fanbase!
