Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall Presents: Portmore's Finalists

Talent is in every nook and cranny in Jamaica and with the right opportunity will emerge to the fore. Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall provides this opportunity.

RC

Hailing from the Gimme-me-bit community of Clarendon, this sing-jay sees himself as a artiste with the determination to win the second season of Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall. For the 23 year old, the reason for entering the competition goes far beyond the money. "I want to talk to the youth, I want to tell them that the way they are behaving is not the right way…at times you see some youth doing something wrong and you have to think twice," commented the sing-jay. RC feels confident that he will have the chance to talk to the youth on Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall.


Nazine

Nazine entered the All Together Sing school choir competition on TVJ in 2007 to satisfy the growing passion for music that developed within him from grade 8 at Bog Walk High School. He was however not satisfied and with the encouragement of teachers and peers he decided to enter this year's competition. His peers said his voice had a melody that was suitable for a music career. While it is different being a sing-jay versus a choir member Nazine believes that every experience for an artiste is a new opportunity to grow. "The experience is different, I savour every moment of it and recognize the great opportunity I have" Says the confident sing-jay.


Jody Miller

Question was a Beyonce R&B hit song but Jody Miller penned her own version to ask young persons 'living on the edge' how they want to be remembered and what they want for themselves. The sing-jay belts out lines like, "do you wanna be a shaded memory…do you want to be read in a newspaper." The Hellshire Park resident reveals, "I sing about reality and that is the reality around me". She continues: "I don't see myself writing explicit songs but more of uplifting songs". Jody Miller, who played the violin while in high school, says she feels a connection with Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall because it allows her to express herself and reveal her talent.


Latty Fabulous

Persistence is essential according to Latty. She believes that artistes need to constantly be working on their talent, especially if they want to succeed. It wasn't strange then that after she missed out on being selected as on of the top candidates from the May Pen audition that Latty Fabulous again auditioned in Portmore; moving one step closer to success. Writing her own songs, Latty Fabulous prides herself on being a song writing machine and one out to create a big effect on Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall. Her friends are also confident that if she does not emerge victor someone must see her and want to work.

Describing herself as a musical person, 26 year-old Sasha-Lee reveals, "I have been singing for a long time now but I started Dee-Jaying back in 2003." Asked about the change Sasha-Lee noted: "really at that point I took myself serious for what I had…a talent and a gift". She explains that she was considering writing and selling her songs, "but after I showed some of my friends and family members they said that I would be better at delivering them because I knew what they meant". Noted Sasha-Lee.

It was her original song Walk Out that claimed for her the position of one of the princesses from the Montego Bay. Sasha-Lee affirms: "Despite the cliché that '2009 is my time to shine', so much has been happening for me and I know it's definitely my time to shine I'm going to be winning Magnum King and Queen of Dancehall".
