Star-studded Line-Up for Demarco’s Birthday Celebration

Monday, September 22, 2014

C

ome Saturday, September 27th the Lime Light Entertainment Complex in Half Way Tree will be transformed with a kaleidoscope of activities as Dancehall star Demarco unveils his inaugural birthday celebrations hosted by True Gift Entertaiment (TGE).

Aptly titled ‘GOOD BOOK’, the event coined from his current chart topper will feature some of the biggest names in the local entertainment space, including a plethora of surprise performers bolstered by musical selections courtesy of in-demand jocks ZJ Liquid, Richie Feelings, Boom Boom & Harry Hype, Foota Hype, CD Fantasy Sound, Hotta Maestro and Demarco’s own official dj Slaughta Global from the popular U.S based Half Crazy Sound out of Boston.

According to event organizers one of the major highlights of the night will be a female dance contest for the now viral ladies anthem ‘Puppy Tail’ where the top three contestants will collectively walk away with almost One Hundred Thousands ($100,000) in cash and prices on the night.

Currently enjoying one of the best years of his career Demarco says he’ll be giving patrons a reprieve due to the current back to school challenges by offering a subsidized cost at the gate. Women will be charged $500 in a 2 for 1 deal while men will pay a nominal five hundred ($500) Jamaican dollars to gain admission.

“There will be a lot of excitement and surprises on the night so patrons should come out to enjoy themselves and see what we have in store for them. I don’t want to say too much, but I promise it will be a memorable occasion for all in attendance.” – Demarco added

Meanwhile, with an upsurge in popularity and an amassment of current hits such as ‘Good Book’ ‘Bad Gyal Anthem’, ‘Put The Duppy Pon Yuh’, ‘Build A Vibes’, ‘Lazy Body’ and ‘Ride’ Demarco is prepping for a busy schedule over the upcoming Heroes Weekend. The singer recently returned from Suriname and French Guiana amid shooting the second season of his now popular online series ‘Talk Yuh Mind’ which is available via his official Youtube channel at Youtube.com/Demarcolife.

Demarco Invades The French Caribbean & Soars With ‘Good Book’

Wednesday, June 11, 2014

F

resh from his musical exploits at May Fest 2014, Grand Cayman and the holy land of Israel, where he delivered a pair of concerts in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, red hot deejay Demarco has once again taken flight this time for the French Caribbean nation of Martinique to headline their annual carnival celebrations this weekend.

No stranger to the French speaking island perched in the Lesser Antilles the blonde-hair singer says he is not intimated by the language barrier as he has grown accustomed to performing for diverse audiences across the globe.

“I’m not intimidated in the least by the language barrier, actually I embrace it , I’ve found in my travels that people who speak a different tongue are sometimes some of the most loyal and passionate fans an artiste can have. They always support your concerts and know the words to your song(s) though they may not necessarily understand the meaning. Music has no boundaries so why should I limit myself.” – Demarco added.

 

Following his stint in Martinique the ‘Fren Circle’ singer and his team will shift focus to a second assignment in Antigua before returning to the island later this week to continue work on his online reality series ‘Talk Yuh Mind’.

Riding high locally with hits such as Apartment,Loyal, Ride, Lazy Body and Continue Whine Demarco only days ago rolled out the official campaign for his latest street banger ‘Good Book’ which has become a staple on  the playlist of most top tier jocks.

The Zj Liquid (H2o Records) produced single has been causing quite a stir on the airwaves and party circuit amid threatening the apex of the popular charts. Based on feedback from industry players the song is destined to become the next bonafide hit for the Jamaican. An official video was also released to rave reviews via his Youtube channel (youtube.com/demarcolife).

Demarco Breaks New Ground For Dancehall in Tel Aviv, Israel

Wednesday, April 16, 2014

E

ver since his emergence on the Jamaican scene seven years ago, musical chameleon Demarco has been a trendsetting entertainer and continues to break new ground for the Reggae/Dancehall genre. From being the first Dancehall act to perform in Ethiopia, the first to grace the cover of an Arabian magazine (Infuzion), the first to be nominated for ‘Song of The Year’ in Australia 2013 (Party Time feat. Samini) among a plethora of other accolades.

As 2014 unfolds the trend continues, come mid-May the blonde-hair singer is expected to invade the central-west Mediterranean coast for a pair of shows in Tel Aviv, Israel another first for the artiste. This performance comes on the heels of his recent concerts in Dubai and South Africa to a combined audience of over 120,000 patrons.

When asked about the broad appeal of his music and what fans of the predominantly Arabic & Jewish country can expect the multifarious singer explained,

“They can expect an amazing show, I don’t perform, I entertain hence it will be nothing short of spectacular. I can’t speak for others but beyond the shows of Jamaica I am an ambassador for our music, therefore I always try to leave a lasting impact anywhere I traverse.”

Demarco says he is not intimidated by the language barrier because music is one of the few artistic expressions that are universal, it transcends all social barriers, be it class, colour, creed or geographic.

Meanwhile, with a full roster of activities for the Easter season Demarco is currently immersed in the studio working on material for his upcoming album amidst shooting his new online reality series dubbed ‘Talk Yuh Mind’.

Alluding to the album and the lengthy timeline Demarco says he wants to veer from the norm, but still provide an offering that fans and the wider populous will musically appreciate. The album will adopt an Alternative/Reggae format.

Barrington Levy Blasting the Lastest X-rated Trend in Dancehall Music

Friday, March 14, 2014

L

egendary Reggae singer Barrington Levy is speaking out against the increase in hardcore sexual content in the dancehall music today. Entertainers such Ricky Carty, Demarco, Alkaline, and J Amsterdam have been pushing the limits with eyebrow-raising materials and videos.

Barrington Levy says he is tired of the X-rated nature that the genre has taken on and thinks it has damaged its credibility.

In an interview published in the Jamaica Observer on Tuesday, Levy said, "I see where the music business is taking a turn for the worst. It's going in a direction where we are losing it."

 

"These people have no morals anymore. Are we going to do anything for money? I never came into the music business just to sell records. I thought I would just sing for the love of it."

Meanwhile, Levy is set to release a new acoustic album with variations of his biggest hits. He is currently promoting his new hit single, Rosie.

 

Do you think Dancehall music is getting raunchier and more hardcore?
