ET&T Vol. 7 April Issue 2

Shurwayne Winchester seems to be the perfect ambassado-

rial candidate not just for soca, but Trinidad and Tobago music overall. His resounding passion for his art and an uncanny ap-preciation for people in general cannot be overlooked. In fact, Winchester is making it hard for people not to notice his efforts as he is arguably the most active local artiste in social media in the post C2K13 period. His most recent video for the UIM produced “My Music” has been well received and will surely continue to get rota-tion as it grows.

In an exclusive interview with ET&T, Shurwayne divulged that the video’s success was due to the great team he had behind him. “I had a simple idea and I went to the team (Hans Romany, Gabriel Nagee and Klysha Best) who took my idea, added some elements and produced a wonderful video” he said.

Assistant Director of the video Klysha Best said that she equally enjoyed the experience of helping to create the treatment and bring the video to life. “He had the idea of walking and singing with the use of a green screen, but we thought we could make it more exciting. So we had him walk the streets of Port of Spain. He started at St. James and ended up on Fredrick Street and Independence Square and interacting with people.”

Best said Shurwayne was ap-prehensive when filming began, but he soon get into it as he was taken away by the music – which is exactly what they wanted the video to suggest. “He has the vibe of some-one lost in the music like he is singing in the shower and it is fitting because he did not write the lyrics to that song; he recorded it freestyle off the vibe of the production” Best added.

Winchester’s latest track does not fit the Soca mold. In fact, this and Body Calling before it are both crossover tracks that seem genre-less and that is just how Shurwayne likes it. “I was never a soca artiste when I started. People said my voice and melodies were not that of traditional soca. I never wanted to

conform to any genre either. Put me on a reggae, dancehall, R&B riddim… it doesn’t matter. I’ll produce music. At the end of the day, our artform is in our DNA so you will always pick up some dialect or themes that are local” posits Shurwayne.

In terms of what direction he’ll be taking next, Shurwayne reveals that he has a multitude of projects in store. “We not stopping.” he says. “I am always in the studio be-cause if I have an idea I don’t get out

I’ll feel trapped. I have to get it out of me or I feel it is blocking another great idea. So I am always laying down new material.”

Plus, Winchester has a lot more ways of staying interactive with fans and keeping relevant. His performances and studio ses-sions have been recorded and will soon be posted on his www.shur-waynewinchester.com website and his youtube channel www.youtube.com/user/swlimited. In

fact, he revealed reality TV type clips of him and the band YOU will also be posted to give fans an inside look at what goes on before the finished product. As a bonus, he will post the lyrics of his songs to help people to sing along – a measure that will surely keep him ahead of the curve.

He believes staying close to his fan base via social media is crucial. It is also a means of keep-ing artistes grounded as they can become lost in celebrity. “We (en-tertainers) take for granted who we are. Even I took it for granted, but I am reminded when I go to certain places to perform what my role is and who I am. When I go to school tours and children’s shows especially… peo-ple are waiting in the blazing hot son with pen and paper to get an auto-graph and you realize what you mean to them.” he intimated.

Shurwayne went on to say that the fans are more important than he is because without them he would have no avenue to exhibit his talents. He acknowledges that fans do look up to him and he is grateful to God that his online presence on facebook has afford-ed him the chance to help those who may be going through dif-ficult times. “Sometimes I interact with fans and I realize that I just end-ed up being the one person who helped them after they sought help from their peers and parents. This makes what I do more fulfilling” added the pas-sionate bard.

Carnival may be over, but Shurwayne promises there will be lots more in store for 2013. Un-til his next chess move, Winches-ter continues to shower love and thanks to the fan base he derives his motivation from. He hopes to continue to work on the relation-ship with you and YOU.

May has been dubbed “Fash-ion Month” in Trinidad

and Tobago and Tobago Fashion Weekend (TFW) May 17-19 2013 will go a long way to making this a worthy moniker. TFW comes on the heels of the T&T Fashion Coda which was held on April 25th at the height of the Tobago Jazz Experience. The heightened activity in the fashion sector in Tobago this year has placed the sister isle as the unofficial fashion capital of the republic for the mo-ment.

That is something the execu-tive at Designers United Stores will be extremely proud about. They are the people who are spearheading TFW. They offi-cially launched their event at La Cantina Restaurant on Victoria Avenue, Port of Spain, Trinidad in mid April and now they are moving forward as they hope to put on a great show for the many fashion enthusiasts in this celebra-

tion of regional talent.At the launch, the specially in-

vited guests got a glimpse of some designs from a host of talented designers who will be contribut-ing to the event. Zadd & East-man, Dexter Jennings, Heather Jones, Claudia Pegus, Daww Crea-tions, Shaun Griffith-Perez, Wa-dada Movement, The Caribbean Academy of Fashion and Design/

UTT, Yesa Designs and Khrystal Fashions all offered previews amid performances by Collin Duranty, Akilah Riley and Ziggy Ranking.

The TFW facebook page has been abuzz with updates on the designers and models for the up-coming showcase themed “Cazak, Frock & Suspenders.” A representa-tive from TFW shared the mean-ing behind the theme. “If you’ve

followed the progression of TFW, you will see that we tried to zone in on our culture. Cazak is the en-closure at the front of one’s pants. Suspenders are a fixture in men’s clothing and the frock is an embel-lished dressed. We are using terms native to us to reflect the island.”

ET&T was also promised that this year will see some changes as the Tobago Fashion Weekend has expended in its third year. “We have increased our designer appeal and we have more regional and inter-national designers this year. New York based Romero Bryan will be there. We also have designers coming in from the Netherlands and as far as New Delhi” said the rep.

The overall profile of the event is bigger. To deal with all the atten-tion, a special toll free call centre has been developed to entertain questions about the event. The 211 initiative is a welcome networking model for upcoming events that plan to go worldwide.

Since the 2010 launch of Kaj Designs’ resort line, Tobago’s

premier fashion house has worked steadfastly to position itself as a global leader in Caribbean fashion. Led by the dynamic partnership of President/Creative Director, Kevin Ayoung-Julien, and CEO/Director, Liza Miller, this year the brand is focused on growing its export po-tential and generating international sales.

The brand’s objective to cap-ture international markets began with the strategic introduction of its more conservative and lighter feeling Kaj Resort line in June 2010. With a clear objective to establish the Kaj brand in international mar-kets, the label launched its premiere resort collection, Shore Culture, at the 2010 Caribbean Fashionweek (CFW) in Kingston, Jamaica. In June 2011, Kaj marked an historic

milestone with its launch in the French Caribbean with the place-ment of the Kaj Resort line at Gua-deloupe’s exclusive Caribbean bou-tique, KOD. This move established KOD as the first and sole retailer of the Kaj brand in the region.

In February 2012, Kaj received one of its highest honours as it was selected to represent the Carib-bean in an initiative of the Carib-bean Export Development Agency (CEDA) entitled Caribbean Col-lections. This initiative sought to create opportunities for access to European markets via participa-tion in the inaugural International Fashion Showcase at London Fash-ion Week (LFW) Autumn/Winter (A/W) 2012. In the label’s LFW debut, Shore Culture was favoured as it featured at an exhibition held at The Charing Cross Hotel while select pieces featured at a private

showing at the Corinthia Hotel.The Shore Culture collection

made its final appearance on the runway at the Ocean Style Fash-ionShowcase during the 2012 Audi Celebrity Golf Invitational in Mon-tego Bay, Jamaica. The brand closed 2012 with the stellar achievement of copping the Tobago House of As-sembly’s (THA’s) Business Develop-ment Unit’s (BDU’s) Most Promis-ing Entrepreneur award at Tobago’s 2012 Business Awards in October.

The unique synergy between Ayoung-Julien’s ingenious creativ-ity and Miller’s crisp entrepreneur-ial and marketing proficiency, spe-cifically in the field of the creative industries, has poised Kaj Designs to become the leader in Caribbean fashion internationally. The brand recently gained memberships in the Trinidad and Tobago Chamber of Industry and Commerce and

the Trinidad and Tobago Manu-facturers’ Association (TTMA) while registering with the Trinidad and Tobago Bureau of Standards (TTBS) with a view to strengthen-ing export readiness, deepening corporate networks and ensuring impeccable standards in garment construction.

As Kaj Designs looks to the future with the impending launch of the new Kaj Resort 13/14 col-lection, Tribu Sauvage, the young CEO shared, “I have taken an ho-listic approach in managing and marketing the Kaj brand which be-gan with developing a sound busi-ness plan. It has taken several years of consistent research and plan-ning to get us to this point. Fashion is not just about creating beautiful clothing. To ensure success, there must be a real strategy that informs all aspects of one’s operations.”

Modern day fashionista’s, your dream has become a reality.

JC Management recently launched their new modeling agency ‘Tres Belle” last Thursday at the Coco Lounge on Ariapita Avenue. Mr. Jelan Cumberbatch is the master-mind behind this operation; his competent crew is in hot pursuit of recruiting future Mona Lisa’s right here in sweet Trinbago.

Jelan has stated "I will work and dedicate my life in entertainment to ensure our culture is preserved and treated and respected by all." His self servicing demeanor radiates throughout his efforts, confidently quoting “I am not driven by money, but rather the heartfelt desire to play a pivotal role in creating and sustaining our local entertainment industry.”

Tres Belle’s main objective is to train models, obtain test shoots, compile stunning layout portfolios and designs and produce dazzling

signature vogue comp cards. Tres Belle’ promises profes-

sional representation at it very best. Actually it seems creating an image is no feat for this young budding entrepreneur; his eyes are forever fixed on cultivating fabu-lous ‘wow’ moments.

The Tres Belle launch also doubled as a platform for launch-ing Cumberbatch’s JC Manage-ment Company Ltd. Jelan is also an entertainment manager and

promoter and this new company is his home base. Among JC Man-agement’s attractive range of cli-ents are Rizon; David "Millbeatz" Millien , Olantunji Yearwood, Hans Des Vignes, Crystal Ivy Lon-don, Knycky Cordner, Mazel The Soundmaster, Triniboi Joocie, Mark Hardy, Jovaan James, Dee Dee, 5 Miles to Midnight, Ghost Writers Music, Esoul and Marley Palmer. Trini Jacobs is also a new addition to the fold.

Many of the artistes were avail-able at the launch which got off to a late start but soon picked up. No doubt, JC management will aim to capitalize on a stellar start to 2013 and move on to bigger things in the future. With everything from models, to vocalists and DJ’s at their disposal, the label seems to have a firm grip on the entertain-ment reigns.

Various companies are always on the lookout for innova-

tive ways of marketing and promo-tion of their brands. Sometimes, companies achieve this with the added bonus of doing something fun and exciting their customers can actually benefit from.

Well-known urban apparel boutique the Hideout has been aligned with some of the hottest celebrities and events in enter-tainment from early on – a prac-tice which seems to be working for them. Now, the Long Circular based store has garnered the in-terest of their customers by lean-ing on the popularity of virtual reality game FIFA 13 as they host a tournament at the store. The tournament takes place on Sun-day 5th May from 12pm till a win-ner is decided.

This marketing tool seems to be a popular one. It is the sec-ond time the Hideout is embark-ing on such a project with the

first being a resounding success. Store and event representative Sebastian Gibert shared that the tournament was conceptualized as a way to promote the store but turned out to be bigger than he

expected.“The first tournament we

hosted had about 60 participants. This one should be even bigger” said Gibert. “There are videos of the first event on our facebook

page which can give you an idea of the vibe” he added.

This time around the tourna-ment will be played on three stra-tegically placed screens through-out the venue. The prize money is also nothing to shrug at. The first prize is $3000 worth of cash and store items for playing the game you love. The second place finalist earns $1000 in store cred-it. Most of all, they will have the benefit of bragging rights.

The rules are simple. You play until you lose. Once you lose, you are knocked out. The two players with the longest winning streaks meet in the final. If you miss a match, your will be considered forfeited. Registration is $100 per participant.

The store owners have tapped into an undying, ever-growing part of the entertainment land-scape. With Champions League fever in the air, they seem to be doing it at just the right time.

KoNShENS & DANCEhAll Duo RDX TEAM up oN NEW SiNglE "SER libRE" Recording artiste Konshens and Dancehall leading duo RDX have partnered on a hot new hit bound single by fusing their unique artistry. Both parties have collaborated to deliver what they promise will be another chart topping single titled "Ser Libre" meaning "Be free".

RDX who has been busy blazing charts across the world with hit sin-gles such as 'JUMP', 'BROADOUT' and 'KOTCH' among others, have recently returned from a month long European tour with additional stops being made within the Carib-bean and North America.

Konshens rose to the spotlight after the void left by the incarcera-tion of dancehall's new king; Vybz Kartel and has managed to blaze the local and international air waves with singles such as 'Stop

Sign', 'Gyal A bubble' as well as a deadly collaboration with Darrio tilled 'Siddung.'

buJu bANToN bACK iN CouRT oN JuNE 26Buju Banton will return to court June 26 in his juror misconduct case as he seeks a new trial.

Buju, whose real name is Mark Myrie, was ordered to appear by Judge James Moodyalong with Terri Wright, the juror who is alleged to have violated court orders during the February 2011 drug trial. The date was set just over two weeks af-ter a new development in the case in which a forensic expert hired by Banton concluded that she brought a desktop computer hard drive for examination of her alleged miscon-duct instead of a laptop she used during the trial.

Wright’s lawyer, Lori Palmieri later claimed her client misspoke in calling her computer a laptop. The

aforementioned hard drive had over 1.6 million records during the trial’s duration, which were exam-ined by the expert. However, it was determined none of those records pertained to the trial.

"I always find it really weird when guys flip out over someone thinking they might be gay. If a guy gets offended by that, there's something's wrong with him," the father of two shares his thoughts on the matter. "I take it as a compliment."

He admits that he was often hit on by other men. "Actually, guys sometimes will tweet me, 'I'm in L.A. staying at such-and-such hotel. What do you think?' he says, before jokingly adding, "Of course, it all depends on the quality of the hotel."

Name: Marisa Mohammed Age: 17 Ethnicity: Mixed hometown: Maraval height: 165cm Stats: 32:25:31 Eyes: Brown hair Colour: Brown Shoe Size: 7 This beauty has been busy on the band launch circuit for the last two years which means she has been modelling centre stage since age 15. Young Marissa is the perfect age for getting her modelling career off and running. However, she is not the type to put all her eggs in one basket.

The Elle NYTT dancer had her eyes on becoming a pae-diatrician, but like most teenagers she is unsure if that is the path she will continue pursuing. Her real passion lies in the Arts. Mohammed has a creative spirit and she believes if she could be an artist and dancer all of her life she would gladly accept her calling.

One thing she refuses to accept is judgemental people. Instead, she prefers aspirations to aspersions. She believes in being prepared so when her time to shine arrives her gloss will be blinding. Look out for this budding star.

Ever effervescent artiste, Caryl ‘Trini’ Jacobs is a former

frontline vocalist for Roy Cape and the All Stars who has col-laborated with Machel Montano, Glen Washington, and Beenie Man among others. She is the daughter of Carl and Carol Jacobs which makes it seem like she was destined for soca stardom. How-ever, she is much more than a soca star. The young singer and entre-preneur is also a mother and style savvy sex-symbol. ET&T chops it up with her on the Hot Seat.

ET&T: how is motherhood going for you?Trini: It is very fulfilling. Just getting that love from my son and giving back that unconditional love to him is just amazing. It helps me to achieve a nice balance in my life.

ET&T: What’s the hardest thing about motherhood?Trini: Wow. In the beginning it was the lack of sleep and just getting accustomed to the whole idea of motherhood. I was so unsure about a lot of stuff. I would say the fear was the most difficult thing... the fear and uncertainty of dealing with a changing baby.

ET&T: you’ve done several collaborations with some big names before, but your name is not yet mentioned in the “Queen of Soca” debates. What do you have to accomplish?Trini: Most of those collaborations came through the foreign label I was with at the time. It was mostly a lot of reggae artistes. I don’t stick to any one genre. From early on until now I always chose what I wanted to do with my music so it was never one type of sound. Even though my parents are who they are I still had to get my feet wet in the soca industry and pay my dues. In fact, I never had anyone manage my soca career until now,

so I’m really excited to see where this can go.

ET&T: What are your plans for 2014? Trini: The sky is the limit for me. I’m happy to have a manger to direct my soca career and I’m just working with a lot of different people in terms of putting together a package. I’m in the studio a lot, working with Millbeatz and more.

ET&T: What’s the worst thing that ever happened to you in the industry?Trini: I would say the worst thing was also the best thing. It was performing at Soca Monarch with Beenie Man. Roy Cape didn’t know the music for the song and Beenie didn’t remember the lyrics. I was just so excited about everything that I was running around the stage screaming (she screams for effect), not really performing as I should. So it was the worst thing, but just being a part of that experience was also the best thing that ever happened.

ET&T: Are you religious?Trini: I’m spiritual. I don’t claim

any particular religion. I believe God is in each of us and different religions refer to him by different names, but he is universal. It’s all about how you pray and relate to him.

ET&T: Describe your scariest groupie experience.Trini: A male fan came up to me after a show to shake my hand and say how much he loved me. While we were talking a girl (the fan’s girlfriend) storms up to us and points and says to me “I don’t like you. My boyfriend has a poster of you up in his bedroom and we would not take it down for anything.” She was just so angry and I did not know what to say. That was a bit frightening. I told my mom about it and she said that happened to her a few times as well. (Lol).

ET&T: What’s the biggest bacchanal you’ve ever witnessed since your involvement in the soca arena?Trini: It would have to be when the showdown with Saucy and

Destra happened several years ago.

ET&T: if you could give an upcoming female artiste one piece of advice, what would it be? Trini: Persistence and consistence is the key.

ET&T: Who has the best/worst personality in the biz?Trini: I don’t know too many people, but J.W. has a great personality. He is a lovely person. I haven’t met too many others who have made that much of an impression on me.

ET&T: Sexiest male soca star? Trini: Kees… Kees…Kees. I can’t spell his last name, but his first name is all I need. He is really sexy.

ET&T: outside of Carnival what are you up to?Trini: I’m recording a lot of R&B stuff. I have some other projects lined up that I’ll divulge when the time gets sooner. I spend a lot of time with family; I exercise a lot and do yoga. On the weekends I do socialize a little bit.

ET&T: What is your aforementioned fitness regime like? Trini: I do a program called Insanity. I used to do P90X, but the Insanity is so much more challenging. I can eat my Guinness ice cream and my KFC because I know that Sean T is going to help me burn it off.

ET&T: What else is Trini Jacobs up to?Trini: I also recently opened a business with my father called “SEXY BOO Beauty Supply” at #2 Madras Street St. James. That’s what I do during the day. Oh! I’m also taking piano lessons. I think it will really help me with my music and me having a hand in production. I just want to maximize what I can do now while I’m young.

Following up on a good beauty regime can be quite costly.

Maintaining the desired look may also be a lot of hassle because of the shopping that needs to be done to acquire all the necessary products. There is an alternative to this though.

With a name like Drink yuh Ticket, bet your bottom dollar there was a lot of drunken revelry going down aboard the Treasure Queen.

The boat had a lot of party regulars and some new faces as well. This was sure to have pleased the promoters who made sure they didn’t

if you thought this was just another EEEmpire beach lime then you are sorely mistaken. in fact, it was Not Another EEEmpire beach lime…. umm… sort of. The EEEmpire team is known for having free beach events

across the country. This time they opted for a more exotic location roughly 8 minutes from the popular Maracas bay. The lime was still filled with vibes and endless eye candy. Make ET&T miss it… we dare yuh!

david Rodigan himself endorsed it, so TiTAN must have been on to something with his big sound clash

event “The Real Deal.” it was a chance to experience the golden age of dancehall again as bass odyssey and Killamanjaro duked it out one dubplate after the other

in Chaguaramas. April 14th was the date for the event which saw several other celebrity DJs come out to support the headline sounds. ET&T was there for the action. peep the full gallery on our facebook page.

The Fashion Police aren’t all about hitting up clubs and

boatrides while we look for miscre-ants. We hit the road as hard as the

traffic branch in our quest to rid Trinidad and Tobago of fashion folly. We braved the extreme heat in the streets to catch these people while we were on the beat.

Jeggings are not for everybody (as evidenced by this specimen). her tight fitting clothing and mismatched bag are unflattering at best. There was also a hint of visible panty lines, but we won’t encourage you to hurt your eyes.

over the years, we have seen our share of unflattering outfits and this is yet another to add to the list. An outfit should compliment one’s shape by highlighting the positives and cloaking the negatives. her outfit does neither. in fact, it does quite the opposite. plus, those cuts in her pants…not sexy!

home girl is a more than a little off. She tied her sneakers like a small goal footballer and rolled up her jeans to show it off. With that in mind it is evident she was trying to make a fashion statement. She did. it says “i Am Nuts.” Just think, she walking through port-of-Spain like that.

Name: Justin Randall Timber-lakeAge: 32 (January 31, 1981)occupation: Film Actor, Sing-er, ModelClaim to Fame: At the age of 11, Memphis, Tennessee born ap-

peared on the show "Star Search" and even though he didn't win, it didn't dampen his ambitions. He also appeared on the Mickey Mouse Club where his costars in-cluded Britney Spears, Ryan Gos-ling, Keri Russell, Christina Agu-ilera and future band-mate J.C. Chasez. At age 14, Justin became a member of the boy band NSYNC. In 1998, the group released their self-titled debut album. They be-came a big hit with fans and made a place for themselves in the music world with a succession of big-sell-ing albums.

Timberlake then released his solo studio albums Justified (2002) and FutureSex/LoveSounds (2006); the former spawned hits "Cry Me a River" and "Rock Your Body", while the latter debuted atop the U.S. Billboard 200 and produced the Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles "SexyBack", "My Love", and "What Goes Around... Comes

Around." With each album exceed-ing sales of seven million copies worldwide, he was established as one of the most commercially suc-cessful singers.

He turned that success into movie opportunities landing im-portant roles in films such as “Al-pha Dog” (2006), The Social Net-work (2010), “Friends With Benefits” (2011), “Bad Teacher” (2011), “In Time” (2011) and “Trouble with the Curve” (2012).

He is currently revisiting his musical passion with his latest al-bum The 20/20 Experience which features the popular “Suit and Tie.” Timberlake also recently married on again-off again girlfriend Jes-sica Biel.

As we await Holly-wood’s slew of big

budget summer block-busters, we can still get our movie night on in the interim with some lesser marketed, but equally enthralling films. The month of May is hardly associated with spectacu-lar releases, but one or two movies always sur-prise you.

AftershockEli Roth stars in this movie based in Chile about a group of travelers who are in an underground nightclub when a massive earthquake hits. They quickly learn that reaching the surface is just the beginning of their nightmare.

The Fast and Furious 6Dwayne Johnson didn't have to save or reignite this franchise (which is becoming his specialty); he was brought in to make the enduring and morally ambiguous adventures of Dominic Torreto (Vin Diesel) and Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) even more appealing to worldwide audiences. And that certainly worked, as Fast & Furious 5's all-world box-office tally can attest. Elsewhere, we are anticipating the soap opera-like narrative device that will bring Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) back into the story.
