Bunji Garlin & Richie Stephens at ‘Hall of Fame’ video shoot

Trinidad soca artist Bunji Garlin was in Jamaica for four days to shoot the video for his new project ‘Hall Of Fame’ with Jamaica’s Richie Stephens.

The two artists recorded their collaborative club track in late February and are hoping to have the official video for the song ready in early April. The video was shot at multiple locations in Kingston including a scene which was shot during a live performance the two did for the award winning On Stage TV show with Winford Williams. The video will feature several models and the Rifical Team Dancers (RTD) executing the ‘Hall Of Fame’ dance routine.

Bunji who won the Soul Train Award for Best International Performance last year garnered mainstream success with the Major Lazer ‘Differentology’ remix, which hit the Billboard chart. The song was featured on an episode of the prime time TV drama Greys Anatomy and landed him a deal with RCA Records.

Soca star Blaxx teams up with hit producer-turned-artist Juelio for “Place In Life (Remix).” 

Produced by Julian “Juelio” Nelson for his production house Nu Generation Studios and released for the 2015 Trinidad Carnival season, the original version “Place In Life” propelled Blaxx all the way into the finals of the International Groovy Soca Monarch Competition, back in February.

Buzzing with calypso flavors, Blaxx and Juelio pay homage to Trinidad’s musical roots with the groovy “Place In Life (Remix),” and Juelio’s soulful vocals add fuel to its fire. Juelio previously teamed up with Blaxx for his massive soca hit “Leh Go,”which continues to receive heavy rotation on radio and dance floors, and this latest collaboration keeps both parties atop party and personal playlists.
