Embedded in the soil of New York, this “daughter” emerges, nourished with the soulful
influence of her musical peers and mastery of the black and white keys. Just the thought of her
puts you in a poetic mood. Alicia Augello Cook, better known as Alicia Keys, is an American
R&B singer, but she is also a songwriter, pianist, author, philanthropist, producer, news
correspondent and actress. This maven in her own right, possessing exquisite beauty and grace,
has won the hearts of the world and wooed them into a hypnotic trance with her deep, soulful
rhythms, tantalizing lyrics and undeniable style.
Born in New York where she learned classical music on piano at the age of 7, her debut
album “Songs In A Minor” has sold 12 million copies worldwide and earned her the titles “Best
Selling New Artist” and “Best Selling R&B Artist” for 2001. This self acclaimed diva released
an album in 2003, “The Diary of Alicia Keys”, which has been certified 7 times Platinum and led
to her first live album “Unplugged” debuted in 2005. Subsequent albums released; “As I Am” in

No doubt a star born out of mix-
tapes, Aubrey “Drake” graham has
proven to be more than just a
rapper. This 23 year old, rapper and
singer, born and bred Canadian
launched his music career on
the popular social website My-
Space and has never looked back.
He was no stranger to the camera,
though. In 2001, he was an actor,
playing the role of “Jimmy
Brooks” on the TV show “Degrassi:
The Next generation”; a role which
he enjoyed for 138
episodes, finally ending in 2009.
His first mixtape was released in February 2006- “Room for Improvement” on MySpace,
succeeded by another- “Comeback Season” released in 2007. In this same year, his music
video “Replacement girl” was featured on BET’s “New Joint of the Day”, making him the first
unsigned Canadian rapper to achieve such a feat.
Lil’ Wayne was given some of Drake’s music in 2008, who immediately invited Drake to do
some songs together with him, producing pieces such as “Ransom”, “I Want This Forever”
and the remix to Drake’s “Brand New”. Though Drake was just rolling with the crew, he was
officially signed with Young Money Entertainment on June 29th, 2009. Soon after this, his
promotional single “Best I Ever Had” from the EP “So Far gone” scored 2nd on the BillBoard’s
Hot R&B/ Hip Hop Songs Chart.
“Thank Me Later”, his most anticipated full album, released in June 2010 and
features collaborations with greats such as Jay Z, Lil’ Wayne and Kanye West.

Known for his smooth golden voice, Jah Cure, real name Siccature Alcock, was born in Montego
Bay, Jamaica and introduced to the world of reggae music as a teenager. His rise to fame
initiated with the release of his sin-
gle “King in this Jungle”, a duet
with Sizzla who subsequently
placed Jah Cure on the map as a
member of the Bobo Dread- a
group of Rastafarians known for
their resistance to conforming to
Western Traditions.
But this rise would soon be cur-
tailed, as in November
1998, Jah Cure was
pulled over while driving
in Montego Bay and
questioned by police as a
suspect in the case of rape. He
was subsequently arrested and
prosecuted in April, 1999, and sen-
tenced to 15 years in prison. Jah Cure has always maintained his innocence, claiming the arresting
officer was courting the accuser’s mother and that his legal representative was useless and unpro-
fessional.
Yet his sentencing only helped catapult his name to stardom; through support from fellow reggae
artists and fans alike. His prison stay was not wasted either; with access to recording equipment,
he released three albums behind his prison walls- “Free Jah’s Cure- The Album, The Truth”
released in 2000, “ghetto Life” in 2003 and “Freedom Blues” in 2005.
After serving 8 years of his 15 year sentence, he was released on parole on 28th July, 2007.
Prison life had not conquered this brilliant artist’s creativity, producing hits such as “Hot Long
Time” featuring Junior Reid in 2008 and the album “The Universal Cure” in 2009.

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past
decade or so, this artiste needs no introduction. Full name
Beyonce giselle Knowles, an American R&B and Pop
recording artist/ actress/ fashion model,
Beyonce has raised the bar of singing to a level few can
stretch to grasp. Combining a gorgeous persona with a hypnotic
voice and an outrageous stage performance, Beyonce is no longer
in a league of her own; she has changed the whole game!
Discovered when her dance instructor would begin hum-
ming a song and she would finish it, acing the high pitched
notes. Her father later on quit his day job to manage the girl
group they had formed and Beyonce was the lead singer.
This move saw the family income to decreasing by
half, but Beyonce’s father saw that dream in his lit-
tle girl’s eyes and was determined to let it shine
for the world to view. And shine it did. With her
southern slur and southern hips, being born in
Houston, Texas, Beyonce led the girl group Destiny’s Child to fame, getting signed with Columbia Records in
1996, enjoying many hit singles such as “Say My Name”, “ No, No No” and “Survivor”, winning many grammy
awards and even being honoured with a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame.
In 2001 the group announced a hiatus to pursue solo projects and Beyonce embarked on an
epic discovery. From acting to getting married, her true discovery came when she discovered
her “alter ego” Sasha Fierce. Describing this persona as an adoption when performing on stage,
an out of body experience, Sasha Fierce is a bold, energetic, sensual side of Beyonce, and her
last tour was based on this character....the ‘I AM....SASHA FIERCE” tour, which brought
Beyonce tremendous success. Beyonce also has her own clothes line- Dereon and a fragrance
line called “Heat”.l i f e s t y l e s m a g a z i n e

Carnival is all about energy, rhythm, freeness
and excitement.
JW and Blaze,
the dynamic
s o c a
duo, emulates such
characteristics. Born as Jason Williams and
Ancil Isaac Jr respectively, these young men are
no strangers to the world of entertainment. JW
was the former host of Party Time a TV series
highlighting local talent and Blaze was a mem-
ber of a sound system called Sel Construction.
Currently radio announcers on the “Red Hot
Morning Show” on the popular radio station Red
96.7 fm, this combined powerhouse gave the
whole of Trinidad an awakening with their hit sin-
gle “Palancing”, written by songwriter Kernal
Roberts. “Palancing” won them the International
Soca Monarch Carnival 2k10 crown as well as
Road March title for 2k10, making them the
first radio personalities in Trinidad and To-
bago’s history to ever achieve such a feat.
Capitalizing on their love for soca music
along with youthful mannerism, JW and
Blaze dominated the Carnival season for
2k10, the song wooing the hearts of many
and evoking ease of the tongue to chant this
catchy phrase well known to Trinbagonians
as local jargon. Palancing may have different
meanings for many, but the main definition car-
ried throughout the sea-
son of the phrase was to
let inhibitions go and let
the power of the music
reign supreme. A dance was also created by
the boys, a rhythmic swaying of the body, al-
ternating the act of bouncing on each leg while
chanting the chorus of this hypnotic phrase-
one that was seen as a challenge to master by
many for the Carnival season.
JW and Blaze had done performances earlier
this year in Canada after Carnival. The country
eagerly awaits their delivery for 2k11; can they
maintain the standard set by Palance? Only
time alone will tell.

Flowing fabrics, funky jewelry and shimmering satin
were the order of the day at Islands of the World Fash-
ion Week’s evening runway session. The event hosted
at the British Colonial Hilton displayed collections by de-
signers Desreen Waller, Tesha Fritz (Elements) and
Shaun griffith of Perez Designs.
Designer collections are inspired by anything that excitesthe human palate. Their themes can portray a period inhistory, a range of colors, types of fabric - anything whichhas a strong visual impact. This is what fashion designerShaun griffith of Perez Designs showcased in his stun-ning collection.
With more than 16 years in the field of fashion designand construction, griffith said that his country, Trinidad,was the driving force behind his inspiration to exude atheme of comfort and simplicity with just a touch of so-phistication. Attributes portrayed in the intricate beadworkand embroidery complimenting his designs.
“Our country is such a cosmopolitan country,” saidgriffith. “We mix so many different colors and fabricsand that is why the theme of my last piece was Car-nival,” said griffith. “That’s the only way I could showhow our country has such a diverse amount of dif-ferent people and everyone comes and celebratesas one.” Bahamian native, Tesha Fritz, has been de-signing jewelry for seven years and expressed thatnature itself has been her inspiration in designing hercollection.
“I wanted to exemplify being natural and appreciatenature,” she said. “I think nature is one of the thingswe have walked away from and I think it’s about timewe returned.”
Jamaican designer, Desreen Waller’s collection wasamazing blend of bright satin fabrics with eco-friendlymaterials such as Spanish moss and Hemp. The Ja-maican designer said she took her cues from hermentor, London designer, John galliano.
“I wanted to use bright colors in my collection be-cause they are our island colors,” Waller explained.“It’s a part of my culture and I wanted to share a bit ofthat with the Islands of the World Fashion Week.”
Following the extravagant fashion show, guests, de-signers, locals, models and judges were treated to aBahamian cultural night of mind blowing entertain-ment.

lent buffet complete with a mindboggling spread ofBahamian dishes, including local favorites such as

They say the acorn does not fall far from the
tree.Tarrus Riley is a living example of this. Son
to the reggae singer Jimmy Riley, Tarrus
has been building a name of his own.
And what a wonderful architect he has
proven to be in such a marvellous
construct. Tarrus Riley, a Jamaican
born reggae artist, released his
debut album Challenges in 2004,
introducing a signature
melodious sound come to be loved
the world over.
A man of sound morals and values, Tarrus
defines himself as focused on creating thought
provoking music about Black consciousness and experi-
ences. Attesting his inability to change the world one of his few limitations, he takes on his duty as ex-
emplar and role model by evoking change with his delivered music. He reaches out to the inner conscious
with his soul searching renditions, delivering music with a message; soul food. He is also affiliated with a
group of friends in a movement called BLAKSOIL, an acronym representing Bredren Living According
King Selassie I Overstanding and Iritical Livity, a group devoted to a worthy mission. This
Rastafarian is not only focused on Black Rights but promoting the rights of all mankind through
his weapon of expertise- reggae music.
Tarrus Riley has produced two other albums for music lovers; Parables and most recently
Contagious, with hit singles such as “Stay With You” “Beware”, “She’s Royal” and “good girl
gone Bad”, just a pinch in the wealth of jewels he has produced. His wonderful pieces have been
done many times in collaboration with producer Dean Fraser and he is currently signed with the
Canon Production Label.
To catch a heart stopping performance from this reggae extraordinaire, his next carded
performance will be in August 2010 for Reggae Fest in St.Croix and in September he goes to
Kingston for Reggae by the Lake.

style, charisma, seductive voice, huh! not enough space to contain the barrage of characteristics
owned by this entertainer extraordinaire. shaffer chimere smith, better known as neyo, has brought to
the music industry personal style and flavour as only a signature chef knows how for his most prized
dish. known for his keen fashion
sense, favouring the romantic
threads of the 1930’s, this
american pop and r&b
singer/ songwriter/ record pro-
ducer/ actor/ occasional rapper
is no doubt an idol in the hearts
of many fans.neyo, so nick-
named as he is likened to see-
ing music as the character neo
sees the matrix in the popular
trilogy, is doing some serious
damage in the music arena.
his hot new singles “beautiful
monster” and “champagne
life” are burning up the air-
ways in traditional neyo style.
the video for “beautiful mon-
ster” is a wonderful construct,
opening with a fight scene,
neyo displaying “supernatural”
powers. it then moves to a club
scene where some fantastic
choreography sets the pace for
the next scene. then neyo is con-
fronted by the “beautiful monster” in a sexually laced dance off. the video for “champagne life”, on the
other hand, is masterfully set in an elegant night club, no doubt for the crème de la crème, combined
with glimpses of neyo destroying the crime syndicate as a detective. the melodious tune itself gives aide
to the back drop of a lifestyle for the elite with a readily available supply of champagne. neyo has re-
cently been featured in the new ebony magazine, looking delectably edible, alongside ciara, coined the
“sexiest face-off”. the pair, both highly talented in voice and in dance, is a force to be reckoned with.

Never judge a book by its cover. This was the critical mistake made by this young star’s
rivals, and boy, did they get a rude awakening! Born Marshall Bruce Mathers III, this rapper/
producer/actor has hushed the lips of so many who
doubted his extraordinary gift, and is
on a seemingly relentless quest to stun
the masses in awe with his awe-
some deliveries.
growing up in a poverty
stricken single parent fam-
ily unit was quiet a chal-
lenge for Eminem,
but as the proverb goes,
what don’t kill you
makes you stronger. And
strong he is, lyrically that
is, with a tongue that
breaks the speed limit bar-
riers at a ticket giving pace.
His lyrics are emotionally
coated, reflecting the many inner
battles this young man had to endure
on his journey called life.
Eminem started rapping at 14 but really shone at freestyle battles in High School, earning much
deserving recognition in the world of underground hip hop. He struggled to maintain his grades,
though, and dropped out of high school at the tender age of 17.
His debut album- The Slim Shady LP won a grammy Award for “Best Rap Album” and his
subsequently released albums The Marshall Mathers LP and The Eminem Show each won
grammy Awards, making him an icon in American history. He is the proud owner of eleven
grammy Awards, and has mesmerized rap fans all over with his highly anticipated new album
Released, featuring the hit single “Love the Way You Lie” featuring R&B sensation Rihanna.
His newest single “Not Afraid” debuted at number one on the charts, making it the first rap song
in the 13 years to do so. This controversial artist, who so many misunderstand at times, can be
seen ripping up the stage in September with performances in Detroit, Bronx and Fontana.
THE BOTTOM LINE: The HTC Evo 4g is eas-
ily Sprint's best smartphone and one of today's
top Android devices. It also shows the promise
of 4g, which will grow as Sprint's WiMax net-
work expands, but until there's broader 4g cov-
erage, it's hard to agree with the mandatory
premium data add-on fee.
Being the first 4g phone isn't the only reason to
get an HTC Evo; it can also be used as a hot
spot for up to eight devices. When phone car-
riers get competitive, we all benefit.

There is no denying; this young man, bursting
with talent at the seams, was destined for-
greatness. Born and bred in Jamaica, real
name Windel Beneto Edwards, he was
always a shy child, initially resisting his
obvious destiny of becoming a superstar.
In the end, destiny
prevailed and under the guidance of Mr.
Wong and Earl Chinna Smith this reggae
star with a captivating voice hypnotized
fans with his unique style and sensational
renditions.
Receiving national acclaim with his debut
single “Serious Times” by being declared
“Most Important Song” of 2005 in Jamaica,
gyptian has broken barriers with his un-
matchable trademark style. Nicknamed
gyptian due to his habit of tying a shirt
around his head and twisting his beard
similar to a Pharaoh’s, this velvet smooth
voiced artist with his distinctive flavour captivated the masses and rocketed to stardom. He was cited as
“Best New Artist” in 2005 by Jamaica Observer newspapers and has continually lived up to his standards
initially set. Describing himself as “everything in balance, humble and calm as the wind, although at times
the wind turn hurricane and haffi blow off house top” gyptian has created albums such as “My Name is
gyptian” and “I Can Feel your Pain”, with inspiration, he claims from his surroundings and musical greats
such as Peter Tosh.
Music lovers have been blessed with singles such as “Is There a Place”, “Love Against the Wall” “Beautiful
Lady”, Mama Don’t Cry” and more recently “Hold You”, which has rewarded him a remix with the interna-
tionally acclaimed superstar rapper Nicki Minaj, blessing him with international recognition and golden op-
portunities for growth.
gyptian can next be seen in 2010 performing his wonderful renditions at carded shows in St.Croix for Reg-
gae Fest and also performances in Florida, New Jersey, New York and Washington DC.
