Ikaya 'Hard Way' Grabs No. 1 Video Slot


Female singjay Ikaya is a woman on a mission and although that mission is nowhere near complete, she is confident of reaping success.
The young artiste, who has been receiving quite a bit of commendation on the quality of her work, her lyrics and her performances, now has something else to smile about. The video for her single Hard Way, has made great strides and worked its way to the very pinnacle of the popular Video Alley chart.

“I am happy and excited about getting a number one video, but I am even more grateful about the impact that the song has been having … especially among young people,” Ikaya said.
“Hard Way is a very serious song – it’s reality and the message is powerful and as an artiste you have to do music that will make people look up to you and remember you in a positive light,” the Outtaroad artiste declared.

Ikaya has undoubtedly been making her presence felt in the music industry this year and the hard work being put in by her management team has resulted in promoters calling to enquire about the artiste’s availability for shows. October, she notes will be a busy month.

Ikaya, who was invited to participate in the Digicel Roadshow series, performed at her final show on October 2. She is confirmed for the Food Festival at the Lime Golf Academy on the 17th and JN Sports Club Comedy Night on the 29th.

Also on her itinerary for this month is the RE School Tour which kicks off on October 26 and will run throughout the parishes every Tuesday in November

Duane Stephenson Honors Hilary Clinton


Reggae singer/songwriter Duane Stephenson was recently invited by the World Food Program (WFP) to perform in honor of the United States Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton. The event took place at the George McGovern Leadership Award ceremony in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, October 5.

Stephenson was at the tail end of his U.S. tour with the Wailers, and the two parties previously teamed up for a song that manifested a partnership with the WFP. "The Wailers and I are partners with the World Food Program," says Stephenson. "Our song 'A Step for Mankind' has helped to spread the message of the need for more action in addressing the issue of world hunger."

Stephenson was thus invited to perform at the ceremony that included political dignitaries and social activists from around the world at the prestigious event, where Secretary Clinton was presented with The George McGovern Leadership Award for her work to curb global hunger.

Stephenson reveals he is humbled and excited by the experience. "It's so inspiring to be in the company of global politicians and dedicated corporate partners who share the same values and aspirations to eradicate hunger," states Stephenson. "Food is a common bond that unites every single life form on this planet, we all require it to live, yet a billion people each night go to bed hungry and 25,000 of them die."

Stephenson disclosed his work with the World Food Program will continue as he sees the issue of world hunger as one that is very important to him. "I was happy to be there to see Secretary Clinton get this award as she has fought for this issue for years now. Hunger affects a billion of our brothers, sisters and children in 80 countries. This award will bring added attention and raise awareness of the issue."

Duane Stephenson just wrapped up touring the U.S. as the opening act for the legendary Wailers, and promoting his sophomore album Black Gold, released by VP Records on September 28, 2010. Black Gold is the highly anticipated follow-up to Stephenson's debut album From August Town, which was released by VP Records in 2007 and was hailed as one of that year's best reggae albums.
