L3 Magazine Presents: The Caribbean Queen Alison Hinds,
Jamaica’s Wayne Wonder, and Toronto’s
Kid Famous!
Canada’s leading Caribbean-Urban online publication, L3
Magazine, has just released their November edition which sees the team connect
fans and readers with The Caribbean Queen, Alison Hinds, Jamaica’s Wayne Wonder
and Toronto’s Kid Famous.
Interviewed in Barbados, Alison Hinds opens up on the encouragement she received from her
Mom regarding her music career, and also opens up on the passing of her Father
and the importance of forgiving and letting go of past hurts. When speaking of the Soca industry, Alison
shares that she is happy to see so many females stepping up and out and the
fact that she would like to see more females in the business.
Quick Tease! What was
the inspiration for Alison’s monster hit “Roll It Gyal” and how long did it
take her to record it?! We have the
answers!
Wayne Wonder is one
of Jamaica’s most celebrated artists who scored hit records with “Saddest of My
Life,” “No Letting Go” and “Bounce Along” among several other musical successes
including a Grammy nomination and winning a BMI Songwriters Award. When we connected in Florida, the star told
us about his creative process when making music, as well as his alter-ego
Surprise. The artist also shares his
views on the recording process today compared to when he first began in the
business. This is an interview you don’t
want to miss!
When it comes to the Road to Centre Stage, no one can tell
you about the scenery and terrain en route more accurately than Toronto’s Kid Famous.
We caught up with the Kid in Toronto and were impressed with the
importance he places on his branding and marketing in addition to his
music. As he says ‘your marketing speaks
to your fans for you so you have to be careful what you use to represent you.’
The Kid talks success of the record “I Wanna Know Your Name”
featuring Oh!, his upcoming series of mixtapes (one of which will be hosted by
Hot 97’s DJ Kay Slay) as well as his signature cartoon created for the drop of
his newest single with Melanie Durrant called “This Chick is Crazy” produced by
Boi 1 Da. The Kid is taking the business
of music and repping Toronto to a ‘whole nother level!’
