Earlier this week, Karel McIntosh of Caribbean Public Relations sat down with Mista Vybe and discussed how his advanced use of Social Media networks has propelled him as an artist, as well as how he set such a high standard through MistaVybeWorld.com, and how he is using all of these high-tech mediums to take his music to the world!

For those of you who either missed it, or just don’t recall offhand, Mista Vybe was recognized and rated amongst the Top Caribbean Celebrities on Twitter, and ranked an impressive Number 22 in a blog post that was also written by the very same Karel McIntosh back in October 2009.

In that countdown, Mista Vybe was not only running against Soca artists and Trinidadian celebrities, but he was also up against leading Reggae and Dancehall artists, as well as globally acclaimed Caribbean athletes and international Icons, including Rihanna, Beenie Man and Usain Bolt. All of this stiff world-class competion made his 22nd-place ranking even MORE impressive.

Extremely tech savvy, Mista Vybe has all the social-networking elements aligned (MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Vimeo), updating them consistently and using them expertly to interact with all of his fans, followers and supporters.

Read Karel’s new blog post “Mista Vybe On Using Social Media To Take Soca To The World” for Mista Vybe’s unique take on why social media networking is of the utmost importance and how it can help any artist/entrepreneur.

Mista Vybe and the MistaVybeWorld.com Team send our heartfelt thanks to Karel for taking the time to link up with Mista Vybe and for doing such a wonderful job on the interview. Thanks a million Karel – we look forward to working with you again soon!
