Meet the MistaVybeWorld TEAM!

I’m so ecstatic right now about the launch of www.MistaVybeWorld.com and I must say a heartfelt “Thanks!” to everyone who checked it out already and tweeted me, Facebook messaged, Myspace messaged, hit me on my Blackberry, commented to me privately, sent a carrier pigeon… you get the picture. I really appreciate the love and respect I’ve gotten thus far and which I’m sure I’ll continue to receive about how great the site is. However in all fairness I can’t take all the credit – not even MOST of it, because the true heroes behind MistaVybeWorld are the folks behind the scenes who made this not only possible but PERFECT! Allow me to introduce the MistaVybeWorld Team!

These are the people whose unique contributions, boundless talents and tireless work were reposnsible for making the site  – and more importantly  Mista Vybe – the glorious success you see today (not to mention helping whip up a couple more tricks we still have in  the bag waiting to spring on you guys soon).

Meet my fam – Team Vybe! Here’s a quick debriefing:

Joanne Marcano of the Real Mark Global Group is my Manager, my family, my friend and quite literally my right hand (either to help create beautiful art or to  smack punk bitches down [and not just the female type] in the name of progress/business lol). How does she manage to accomplish all this while she’s in Toronto and I live in Trinidad? Lord alone knows lol but whatever it is, I wouldn’t trade it for the world! Best Management in the world! Love you cuz!

Ten of theyoungfreshnew.com is one of Toronto’s most respected young entertainment bloggers and a force to be reckoned with in website design. Without her HTML expertise (and her patience with Jo and I both being perfectionists), you’d literally be looking at a blank page right now. Thanks a million for the many hours of blood, sweat and tears, Ten. It’s been a pleasure working with you. Okay NOW you can sleep… a lil bit – cause see – I have this idea… LMAO!

Sandhya Khanna currently handles Media Relations (PR for you non-biz folks) for Mista Vybe (the artist) and MistaVybeWorld (the site), as well as several other projects alongside Joanne and Real Mark Global. She’s the author behind the recently launched Mista Vybe Newsletter and generally a true Team member through and through. She also happens to play 5 instruments, sings, does sound engineering/production, and has credentials in broadcasting and marketing… hmmm – over-qualified much? lol Thanks for all the hard work Sandy – it’s a pleasure to have you on my Team!

Michelle “Miche” Williams of Fuzion Movement Marketing has been instrumental in the online marketing of Mista Vybe the artist for years. She’s also a treasured longtime friend and one of my favourite people to collab with in the studio (she produced one of my most popular international joints, “Always On My Mind”). Fuzion Movement (big up Suzette and the rest of the crew), along with Real Mark Global, MistaVybeWorld and yours truly as an artist have many big things planned for the near future, so stay tuned for updates. Love you Miche! Thanks for your continued support and friendship!

And last but by NO MEANS least…the enigmatic Keith Matthews Jr. of God Stone Films and Sav Creative Media is better known to the rest of Team Vybe as “Sav”, because he is quite literally a BEAST (beast… savage… sav? Must I spell it out? lol) when it comes to editing, directing, camera work and all things audio/visual. Can’t tell you too much about him right now because “Sav” is the secret weapon of MistaVybeWorld.com. The very cool animated logos at the end of some of the videos we already launched on the site (check the Intro vid up at the top of the page, for instance) are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to his amazing directorial, editing and special FX skills – TRUST me on this. Stay tuned – Sav’s full contribution will become clear when we launch Phase Two of our plan for World Domination. Muhahahahaha!!!! *villainous grin* (“Was that too over the top? I never can tell…” - quote from Jim Carrey as The Riddler in Batman Forever, 1995.)

In short – these are the folks responsible for MistaVybeWorld.com and, by extension, a whole new beginning for Mista Vybe. Oh – did I mention that ALL these folks live in Toronto, Canada (except Miche, who’s NY based) while I’m in Trinidad, so I haven’t actually MET them (again other than Miche) in person yet? Crazy right? But nevertheless – we’re a team – united and unstoppable (thank God for the power of the internet and tele-conferencing!)

Thanks guys for all your dedication and hard work, both for myself the artist and for MistaVybeWorld.com. Got love for you all! Blessings and much respect,

Mista Vybe
