Creating an empire in media is not an easy feat unless your name is Mr. Bobby Clarke!  CEO of Irie Jam Media Group, Mr. Clarke overseas Radio, special events such as Irie Jamboree and his newest division Signature 78 (where Fashion meets the Islands).  Juggling several hats is not easy, but our front cover feature does it well.  Not only does he service a growing 3 million people of Caribbean decent via radio in the Tri-State area, he is advancing Caribbean culture to corporate America and a major step was holding Irie Jamboree 2013 at the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn.  Bobby Clarke’s voice isn’t loud but his presence is!  Read about his empire and how it was built in this fantastic interview!  

Tricia ‘ZJ Sparks’ Spence speaks to two movers and shakers in Jamaica.  The first is Reggae singer Nature, and the second is beat maker and producer Jay Crazie.  Both personalities speak candidly and openly on what it is to make the music they make from the perspective they make it from.

Our UK correspondent, Portia Clarke asks a few questions of the sexy Dancehall siren, Denyque whose career is bubbling HOTTT like soup.  Everything from the artists vocal style to her fashion taste is front and center for the world to read.

Ammoye Turns the “Radio” On!

Ammoye, one of Canada’s most prominent Reggae songstresses, has turned “Radio” on with her hot new single of the same name!

Produced by award winning Kemar ‘Flava’ McGregor, and as part of the Club Dance Riddim line up, Ammoye’s single has been met with consistent support from DJ’s in the UK, Italy, the US, across the Caribbean, and her home country, Canada.

Savouring the silk in Ammoye’s voice, UK audiences have made the song one of the most requested, Italian listeners request the song weekly, as have Caribbean fans.  Building momentum in the US, “Radio” has been added to rotation on Tony Carr’s ‘This is Reggae Music’ on WPFW FM in Washington DC.  Boston’s Vibe 105.3 FM’s Jermaine Lawrence says the song “is one of his favourite songs on the riddim,” while Toronto’s King Turbo sound crew, hosts of ‘Morning Ride’ on 89.5 CIUT FM says “Ammoye definitely put the word ‘Love’ in Lover’s Rock with this chune!”

While the song enjoys positive feedback from fans and DJ’s alike, Ammoye prepares for an intense summer that includes performances for fans in Canada, the US and Europe.
