Nigel, who is currently enjoying heavy
rotation with the infectious, nation-building track “Blue Skies Ahead”, has been having a tremendous year
both with his band and as an individual artiste.
The Trinidadian
singer-songwriter whose influences range from Rock greats Motley Crue and AC/DC to
Caribbean music icons Bob Marley, Lord Kitchener and Andre Tanker made major waves with “Differentology”
his Carnival collaboration with Bunji
Garlin and is showing no signs of musical stagnation as the last quarter of
the year approaches.
Along with Orange Sky, Nigel recently performed for international music
industry executives at the recent AMMBCON music business conference
showcase and also shared the stage with celebrated Reggae stars Sizzla Kalonji, Richie Spice and Anthony B at the Good Life Music Festival. For this event Rojas and band performed a set which
comprised of original Reggae and Rapso infused material as well as the single “Love Each Other” which
was composed by Rojas and featured T&T Reggae acts Marlon Asher, Jah Melody, Prophet Benjamin and Mr. King.
Regarding his
involvement in the Good Life Music Festival he shared, “I feel really great about participating
in this concert; it is always a great honour to share the stage with artistes
that I love and admire. In this event there were many such artistes, however,
the local Reggae performers are very close to my heart”.
In between gigs
with his band, the consummate musician keeps himself occupied with composing
and producing radio ads and playing the guitar at weddings, corporate
functions, diplomatic events and top local and regional hotels and restaurants.
Additionally,
later this year the hard-working family man also intends to launch a guitar
instrumental CD entitled “Sunset Siesta” along
with a supporting instrumental concert.
Always one who
is poised to take on the next adventure and never one to be creatively
complacent,
Nigel is constantly experimenting with new
sounds and developing new ideas.
He admits that
musically he has been bitten by the Soca bug since his Differentology
experience and hints of upcoming artistic alliances with some of the Soca’s
biggest names.
