SHANN-I
Oritte Taylor aka Shann-I, a naturally talented and gifted young man from Kingston Jamaica, has multiple talent. Ever since an early age, he has been singing, dancing, involved in drama, playing football and cricket. At age 9, he attended a Performing Arts program which allowed him to hone his talent and mastered most of it by the age of 14, at which time he migrated to the United States with his mom in hopes of furthering his dreams.
Adapting to American life wasn’ t easy as he struggled through high school. It was at this stage of the game that he decided to take his music to the next level. He started to go by the name Shann-I which is his middle name that means‘ King’ in Hebrew and started writing his own songs. The first song“ Mama” inspired him to continue writing and has done just that ever since. Now with a few songs under his belt and a promising career, Shann-I continues to push on doing local shows in the United States and on home ground Jamaica and will never give up working on breaking into the business fulltime.
ALPHANSO SPLENDID
In 2008 Alphanso Splendid took Jamaica by storm with his # 1 hit single“ Line it up” feat. Spready Glory, the song has a video which was directed by Wayne Benjamin from RE TV. This single had a great impact in the Dancehall and created a whole new segment called“ Daggering Mawning( Morning)”. The song made breakthrough numbers for Splendid and was featured on all the radio stations, it also topped the Entertainment Report Top Ten chart in Jamaica and also featured as the # 1 single on the Jamaican Video Alley Top Ten chart and opened doors for Alphanso to book two tours; one across the Caribbean and the other to Europe.
Following his tour in Europe in 2009, Alphanso found the business a bit overwhelming and was advised by health practitioners to take a break from the Music Industry. In 2010 the recording studio saw Splendid once again as he recorded his single“ Dat Nuh Rite” which was featured on Carrie Mulling’ s Rebel Vibez show on VIBE 105FM previously called CHRY 105.5 FM, the York University radio station.“ Dat Nuh Rite” got special attention which led to an interview on the Ron Muschette radio show in Jamaica, and Splendid soon followed up with songs such as“ Bimbo“ and“ It hurts”. In 2011 he performed live at the Jamaican Kite Festival. The following years songs like“ Tump” feat. Boom Boom,“ Party Up” feat. New Kidz HD,“ Steady Wine”,“ Twerk Amazing” and“ Dancers Pride” feat. Ding Dong were released, before finding and remaking, with a twist, calypso classic“ Big Bamboo”. In 2016 both“ Big Bamboo” and“ Wukie Wukie” brought Splendid back on the world stage as both songs are being strongly supported by Radio and TV stations as well as Disc Jockeys worldwide. Check out the video for“ Big Bamboo” on YouTube. Look out for much more from Splendid in 2018.
