Cecile Hits Final Leg Of European Tour

Motherhood has not slowed down Jamaica's favourite 'Bad Gyal' any because less than a year after the birth of her daughter, Cecile's career is firing on all cylinders with performances scheduled for five major festivals this month.

"I had to abruptly cancel a lot of shows during the summer of 2012 because of my pregnancy so I before my daughter was four months old, I got back on the road immediately to fulfill my obligations.

Now I am pushing full speed ahead with my European tour, I have some wonderful performances lined up for my fans," Cecile said.. The final leg of her summer tour kicked off on August 10 in Hoostraten, Belgium at the Antilliaanse feesten.

One week later, she will be doing performances at the Furuvik Festival in Gayle, Sweden, then the Rototom Festival, Spain on August 21st, after which, she will hit 'Fest in the Park' in Oudenaarde, Belgium on August 23rd, and then climax her tour with a bang at the annual Chiemsee Reggae festival in Ubersee, Germany.

Before the Summer leg of her tour, the 'Bad Gyal ' also performed for her fans across the Caribbean in the islands of St Thomas, Guyana, Martinique, Cecile has always been known as a tireless worker in her professional dealings in the music industry. So, last year, only four months after delivering her daughter, she rocked audiences in St Martin, Guadeloupe and a sold out premier performance in Dubai at the Music Room. 

Then she hit the road, doing a four week stint which saw her doing performances in Nuoma, New Caledonia, as well as four shows in Australia. After this blitz of performances, she kicked off the first leg of her 2013 European Summer long tour making stops in Luxemburg/France, Estonia, Denmark, Reunion Island, Finland, and multiple stops in Germany. "The tour has been fantastic so far, and my fans can look out for some amazing performances during this final leg of my European tour," she said.

Shocking Murray Is Number 1

European based reggae artiste Shocking Murray is all smiles as his career continues to blossom on local soil. The video for his latest single titled So Nice is currently number one on CVM TV’s Hit List On The Rise chart.

“It’s a good look, my video is number 1 on the Hit List, I am very happy that the people love my video. It’s my first number 1 in Jamaica; I have to give thanks for the support of my Jamaican people who have made my video number one,” said the artiste.

Shocking Murray who is originally from Snow Hill in Portland, Jamaica, has been residing in Europe for over a decade now but is still through to his Jamaican roots.

“Although I live in Switzerland, Jamaica is still home for me, no matter where in the world I live I still have to visit my original home, I am and will always be a proud Jamaican. I do a lot of recordings and shows in Europe and other territories but the Jamaican market is very important to me.

That’s why whenever I release a song, album or a music video in Europe I make sure it’s also released in Jamaica, because I know once the people in JA pass it, then the whole world will accept it,” said Shocking Murray. Shocking Murray is currently getting ready to release a follow single and video to So Nice. “Right now I am working on some new projects, I am also getting prepared to drop another single and video real soon in order to capitalize on the success of So Nice.” So Nice was produced by Hopeton Blazze and is the first song to be released on Shocking Murray’s Big Trees label. The video for So Nice was directed by Alain ‘Skanka’ Hottat.
