FLYGHT

F

LYGHT - Born Marlon Powell in the parish of St Catherine Jamaica, Flyght was raised by his Grandmother, nurtured in a loving home where music was staple. He knew he was an entertainer from age 5; where he would often dance and deejay for his community, family and friends. Reggae music and the Dancehall excited him and his love for music grew with the rise of dancehall music in the 90s.

The beginning was not an easy road for him, he hustled in the streets of Linstead selling snacks in order to make ends meet. He was always an intelligent, enterprising and mature boy, teachers in his high school always encouraged him to stay focused.

“Music has always helped me get through trying times of my life.. thru sadness and depression ...music brings me joy.. music has kept me alive.”

In 2010 he auditioned for Magnum Kings & Queens a local televised talent show (much like American Idol), the eccentric Deejay known for his greenish bluish hair and tailored suits was turned down seven times but faith and determination saw him being accepted in the final series in 2017 under the name Bluugo. Flyght used his writing ability and lyrical prowess to triumph over several other contenders on the weekly live show; which eventually saw him winning the entire competition as the most voted Magnum King since the start of the Competition. He now holds the title as the last standing Magnum King.

Flyght impressed the judges and the public on the show, but equally important he also impressed industry giants like Bounty Killer, Beenie Man and Robert Livingston who dubbed him “a lyrical genius.”

After winning the competition Flyght took his career to another level by signing to New Wavez Entertainment, all while he honed his craft recording new songs and performing on shows Island-wide. Being a big advocate of giving back he also took time out to help other artistes write and record several songs of their own. Being the people’s Magnum King he still campaigns in the streets with his music showing appreciation to the thousands who voted for him.

Time to Fly Flyght says he is learning more everyday and music is not just about the artiste but it’s about the mechanics the planning and timing of how you market yourself and your music that brings success.“You have to be willing to take risks and be different.”“I have never felt the same excitement doing anything else in my life that recording music or performing gives me.

In late 2018 Flyght recorded for the UK’s power team Seani B and Chase & Status, The artist also rolled out several singles including “Who Frighten Dem”, “Gunz work on Shabdon Records ” Cut Off Dem BBC on the New Wavez Entertainment Label.

In 2019 he stormed the Dancehall with an edgy track and video titled 10z produced by Jovi Di Pree , the track became catalyst for his industry peers to hear and accepted him as an artiste and 4

not just a competition winner. Flyght followed up with a mammoth single titled ‘BRUKWEH’ that has propelled him further on the road to success. The single also boasts a popular video that is being rotated in Jamaica and as far as Africa and went viral on “World Star Hip-Hop” Flyght describes his sound as distinctive he states “I don’t limit myself to a category in music because music is timeless and evolving, I hate labels.. I want to be remembered as the artiste who showed no fear and the most influential DJ who inspired a wave of sonorous vocalists, craved my own lane and pushed boundaries.

Flyght – get them to love you..

DADDY1 orn in 2000 as Adrian Daley of the Salt Spring community in Montego Bay, Daddy1 was the eldest of four children for a single mother. This charismatic young dreamer earned his alias by becoming the next best patriarchal figure in his household, and was dubbed Daddy1 from thenbon. His life story and his ascension to musical prominence, are but the result of the undeniable agency, penchant for leadership and self contained mindset that awarded him his pseudonym in the first place. These qualities in him shined the most in those early days and earned him the respect of childhood friend Bobby Six, younger brother of Dancehall superstar Squash. This friendship led to a fellowship between himself and Squash that eventually grew into a family connection that would persist throughout the years.

Daddy1’s desire to do music always remained in his periphery, and when finally given the chance to become a recording artist by fellow music maker, Squash, he did not squander it.

Bursting into the scene early 2018 with the hit single Anthem , he engendered that tone of authority in speech at the onset with iconic lyrics like “If yuh nah say 6ix, no girl don't want yuh.”

Which was a nod to the name of the group that his family ties with Bobby six and Squash fostered, that featured other upcoming artists like Chronic Law, and producers like Shabdon or Atto. With an outstanding drive and personality, like Daddy1’s the only other missing ingredient from his imminent rise in his early years was the right environment, which the 6ix now provides.

Following up his first hit single with songs like Out Here , Next Level, Bro Gad , and Custom which continues to grow in popularity. Through these slew of hit singles Daddy1 was able to capture the minds and hearts of young Jamaica, forging and popularizing slangs like brogad. A slang high became so popular that young people in the country began to campaign for the Prime Minister to change his Twitter handle from the most honorable Prime Minister to most Honorable Brogad. A campaign which found success. In this day and age where youth culture rules, the artist that can become the voice of the youth and the artist that can become the leader of the youth hold the most power. Daddy is charged with both these abilities and they are manifest in the impact of his works for the fairly short time he has been well known.

His undeniable flow, lyrical cadence, and keen attention to the sociopolitical landscape of Jamaica and the world, make Daddy1 a creative force to be reckoned with. Never before has a young Jamaican artist with this level of influence in all strata of the country, with this level of agency, access to the wider world, and musical skill, risen to prominence. The prospects for the

B

young deejay are endless and exciting to say the least as he continues to grow and navigate the growing musical landscape. His ability to spot and make trends comes second only to his ability to weave clever rhymes with simple, catchy, relevant and timely punchlines into coherent hit songs.

Often times, ones that are born into this world with such authority in their nature, tend to use it selfishly. Daddy1 however, demonstrated very early, by adopting responsibility, and becoming a role model to his younger sibling who he took care of, and now by extension the entire youth culture; that he is a positive figure to those his influence extends. He acts with thought and concern for those in his care and under his influence, which is a hallmark of sustainable leadership. Aptly dubbed the Trending King, due to his consecutive number of weeks at number one with several hits, Daddy1 is undoubtedly the leader of the youth. His single Rich and EP 1 BroGad; both are testaments to this unique and influential charisma. They will serve as a proper introduction to the world of Daddy1 in a formal context, yet with the cadence and delivery of a raw authentic storytelling experience. It is a solid first body of music where Daddy1 are scheduled. The six track EP along with Rich, was released on the 20th of March and April 10th respectively, are about to take the dancehall world, yaad and abroad; by storm.

rom the Rasta comes the message, and the Rasta appointed with the call is none other than the legend and icon, Richie Spice.

"Together We Stand" is the second single released from the award-winning artist which is forthcoming from his album of the same name. The government of Jamaica, in partnership with VP Records, Restaurants of Jamaica and several others held a Telethon Jamaica Together We Stand. The telethon was designed to raise money for frontline workers in Jamaica who need personal protective equipment. Richie's song "Together We Stand" was the theme song for the telethon.

F

12

Written by Richie Spice, and produced by Clive Hunt and Element Music Group, the song is one of the most appropriate releases for the times we are in.

Richie Spice has a proven record of making music that is appropriate for the times we are living through ("Earth a Run Red," "Youths Dem Cold," "Righteous Youths" to name a few); "Together We Stand" is no different.

Ready to be re-added to radio rotation or introduced to your audience if they haven't heard it already, the track is available for download! You can also reach out to Richie on Instagram and let him know what you think @1RichieSpice. by VPRecords u

Healthy Eating AT THE HEART OF THE MATTER

by Fazia Khan Parmar

hope that all our readers out there are doing well. As many of us are dealing with working from home, schooling from home, and annoying your spouse from home, cooking elaborate meals every day may not be on the agenda.

This month I’ve found a very versatile dish that is a general crown pleaser, quick to pull together, and works well whatever vegetables you have on hand.

In these new times, it is important to be flexible, multi-functional, and versatile. This recipe has it all.

Don’t have broccoli? No problem, use any canned, frozen, or fresh vegetable you have on hand. You can even use only chicken and onions if that is all you have. You can make it full vegetarian by adding some diced tofu. Pair the stir-fry with your favorite rice or noodles and enjoy!

I

Instructions: 1. In a medium size bowl, whisk together corn starch and water. Add remaining ingredients (chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, and toasted sesame oil, red pepper flakes) and whisk to combine. Set aside.

2. Add one tablespoon of olive oil to a large skillet or wok and heat over medium high heat.

3. Add chicken (in batches if necessary) and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from skillet.

4. Reduce heat to medium and add remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet.

5. Add broccoli, bell pepper, and carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, just until crisp tender. Add ginger and garlic and cook for an additional minute.

6. Add chicken back into the skillet and stir to combine.

7. Whisk stir fry sauce and pour over chicken and vegetables and stir gently to combine.

8. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, and let boil for one minute.

9. Serve with rice and/or chow mein if desired.

T RY O U R M E N U Bon Appetite

RECIPE: Easy Chicken Stir Fry Ingredients: 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into 1 inch cubes salt and pepper to taste 2 tbsp olive oil divided 2 cups broccoli florets 1/2 yellow bell pepper cut into 1 inch pieces 1/2 red bell pepper cut into 1 inch pieces 1/2 cup baby carrots sliced 2 tsp minced ginger 2 garlic cloves minced Stir fry sauce 1 tbsp corn starch 2 tbsp cold water 1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce 1/4 cup honey 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

or many of us as we venture outside, a face covering in areas is a requirement or at least recommended.

However, how unstylish right??? Is anyone else waiting for some designers to get it together to make some more stylish masks? Until then, if you’re like me, you’ve dusted off your sewing machine and downloaded a face mask pattern from the internet. While they may not be per-

fect, it is a way to tap into your creative side and play around with color and patterns. You can even get the kids involved in some no-sew mask patterns available. There is no one that says a face covering should be boring, right?

F o r Yo u r P l e a s u r e This month, you are asked to wrap up any beliefs, attitudes or commitments no longer serve you on your next journey. The coming months (Mar 21 - April 19) will bring an initiation period for you where you will begin to walk new paths, and you won’t have time to carry around any old baggage.

Aries

u

This is a time to look at the qualities you’ve cultivated within yourself that keep you grounded in who you are, and what you are able to (April 20 - May 20) give to others. Celebrate yourself as best you can in the month to come.

Taurus

If you do one thing this month: Think about something you’ve always wanted to do, but never got around to. Start to plan out how (May 21 - June 21) to make it happen before the end of the year.

Gemini

Cancer

Take a moment to yourself each day to do something that is just for you. It can be simple, like making a cup of tea, (June 22 - July 22) eating your favourite snack or taking a break to daydream.

Po e m

u

“A Time to Talk” When a friend calls to me from the road And slows his horse to a meaning walk, I don’t stand still and look around On all the hills I haven’t hoed, And shout from where I am, ‘What is it?’

No, not as there is a time to talk.

I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground,

Everything you do can be your art if you allow for it. What will you Leo make memorable right now? How can you turn even the simplest actions (July 23 - Aug 22) into conversation starters? Choose one thing every day to put your creative spin on. Challenge yourself to use your imagination all month long.

Blade-end up and five feet tall, And plod: I go up to the stone wall For a friendly visit.

Virgo

If you do one thing this month: Get a pack of seeds, a pot and some soil. Set an intention that supports your personal growth this month.

(Aug 23 - Sep 22) Plant the seeds as symbols of what you are inviting into your life next.

By Robert Frost

Get messy, unpredictable, or unconventional. Let yourself break a routine. Or do something half-way. Take the easy route when you usually go (Sep 23 - Oct 22) the extra mile. See how it feels to loosen up, go with the flow and release any expectations of yourself.

Libra

Riddle

u

What stays where it is when it goes off?

by Mikayla An alarm clock

Things are very nicely set for you this month, especially in the first half.

Your taste is particularly sharp and people admire the way you look fantastic with the absolute minimum of effort. Venus is the planet of attraction (Oct 23 - Nov 21) and appearances, and sits beautifully for you until the 22nd.

Scorpio

u

Solution: Be the change, Sagittarius, not the soapbox. Jupiter’s retrograde period will help you tone down some of the fire you feel inside so that you (Nov 22 - Dec 21) can put your ideas into something more constructive, and productive.

Sagittarius

u

Guess Who ?

u

1

Keep active this month and you will be well ahead. Mars, the most dynamic planet, is right in your sign, giving you rocket-propelled powers of energy. You (Dec 22 - Jan 19) are feisty and fiery and everyone is made to know it – and quickly!

Capricorn

2

2020 has brought plenty of ebbs and flows for you. One minute you feel like you’re getting ahead with something, and the next you run into an obstacle. May brings you some much-needed stability into your life, and (Jan 20 - Feb 18) some new perspective to help you make sense of it all.

Aquarius

Answer: 1- Daddy1 2- Romain Virgo 3- Flyght

How can you be of service to your community at this time? Think of something you can create or offer to show your support—whether it’s writing a song, (Feb 19 - Mar 20) or offering a listening ear to someone in need. It all counts.
