It is now the year 2010. The minutes have ticked away and the year 2009 faded away. Myself and the MistaVybeWorld Team have a major review of our many accomplishments and blessings for 2009 coming soon… but for this moment, allow me to look forward to 2010, bearing in mind the many trials I have been through personally and professionally, and the amazing lessons I have learned and skills I have manifested in the last year. Read on, and walk with me into 2010, why don’t you? ;-)

In 2010… I will constantly smile to myself, secure in the knowledge that 1 is, indeed, the Magic Number. What do I mean by this? I’m no longer afraid to be alone; to step out by myself; to go against the grain. I was born alone, grew up alone (yeah – I’m an only child) and somewhere along the way became dependent on human contact and forgot that I am fine all by myself. Not that I don’t have wonderful people around me – because I do (you know who you are and I love and cherish you all). I just also am happy with ME and more powerful as a result than I have been in a long time. :-)

In 2010… I will look back at 2009 remember that I proved to myself and everyone else that I am more powerful than ANYONE (even myself) dared imagine, and that the gifts I have been blessed with – coupled with hard work, determination and a circle of genuine support and unconditional love – allow me the potential to achieve ANYTHING I set my sights on… and more.

In 2010… I will cherish the moment instead of spending so much time chasing the future that I fail to realise that celebrating the present and honouring the past are equally important. I work so much and so hard (and chase my dreams so frantically) that sometimes I forget how blessed I am and have been, just to be alive in addition to having the many blessings that I do. Many things happened in 2009 to remind me of this over and over again. Losing friends, dear colleagues and lifetime inspirations of mine definitely drove the point home (RIP Sheldon, Koko and Auntie Mairoon). But this also made me stronger, wiser, and more aware of how fragile life is and how much we need to remember to stop and smell the roses and reflect on the positive things we have achieved.

In 2010… I will let go, let live, and move on. Not everything works out the way you imagine, and things SELDOM work out exactly as you planned. Sometimes things go in a different direction than you initially envisioned. You can do two things when this happens: become angry and jaded OR let go, let live, and move on. In 2009 countless unexpected twists and turns took place in my life path, but in the end I am happy with where I am on the road to success, and I’m looking forward to the rest of the journey in the year to come. So I let live. I let go. And I am moving on. This is a course of action I highly suggest to EVERYONE. Being happy takes much less energy than being bitter or self-righteous about mistakes (or other people for that matter). Think about it ;-)

And last, but by no means least – in 2010… I will be BIGGER, BETTER, FASTER AND STRONGER. I will evolve! Evolution is the key to survival and I am a SURVIVOR.

All my love and blessings and best wishes to all of you.

To my MistaVybeWorld.com Team – I love you and thank you. Without a doubt – MAD AGAIN IN 2010, for sure!!! lol

To the fans and well wishers and supporters – THANK YOU. I will continue to work harder than ever because YOU continue to support and inspire me.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Have a BLESSED 2010. Enjoy the NEW DECADE!!!

Seasons Greetings everyone! I’m tempted to tease all you foreigners out there by mentioning that I’m currently in warm Trinidad, munching my first official piece of black cake (fruit cake for the non-Trinis) and sipping on a cool glass of sorrel… but that would be cruel, right?

Nah – the truth is, I’m really just writing this to send out a special Christmas wish to all of you out there, as my special little Yuletide gift for everyone.

As much as we ALL love the fun stuff (exchanging gifts, enjoying our favourite holiday dishes, liming with family and friends, partying, etc), I feel honour-bound to remind you all to HAVE LOTS OF FUN – ENJOY YOURSELF TO THE FULLEST by all means, BUT do so RESPONSIBLY. Let’s have a SAFE, happy and holy Christmas.. or Hannukkah, or Kwanzaa… or whatever you happen to be celebrating this Holiday Season.

All my love, appreciation and best wishes go out to you at this joyous time. Make the most of it – savour every moment – because life is short.

Me? I’ll be listening to the sweet strains of my family’s new favourite Christmas album, “Ma$tamind Productions presents: A Caribbean Soul Christmas” (featuring MY rendition of “Little Drummer Boy”), while munching on my black cake (thanks Cousin Aileen!), sipping on my sorrel and enjoying the heavenly smell of my Mom’s homemade bread wafting through the house, while … Ahhhhhhh – now DAT is a real Trini Christmas (for me anyway)!

Anyway, on behalf of myself and the whole MistaVybeWorld.com Team, I’d like to take this opportunity to wish you a MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Mista Vybe… outttttttttttttttttt!!!

In October of this year (2009), Mista Vybe released his soulful rendition of the classic Christmas Carol, “Little Drummer Boy”, as part of the Ma$tamind Productions compilation “A Caribbean Soul Christmas”.

“Getting put into rotation on one of Canada’s biggest stations is truly a blessing. This is a great moment for myself as an artist, and for Trinidadian music on the whole,” Mista Vybe exclaims enthusiastically, explaining: “I couldn’t have asked for a better Christmas gift than this wonderful news. My undying thanks and appreciation goes out to Natasha and Shawn at Ma$tamind for reaching out to me and allowing me to be part of their amazing project, as well as to my manager Joanne from The Marcano Management Group and my whole MistaVybeWorld.com Team. This is a major step for us all, but trust me – this is only the beginning.”

As the singer’s website constantly reiterates through its mantra, when it comes to making world-class strides in the music industry – for Mista Vybe, “It’s NOT Just Soca”!

In addition to in-depth interviews with myself and Jester, it also features in-studio footage and other tidbits that we’re sharing with you for the first time here on MistaVybeWorld.com and over at ThisIsJester.com too (not to mention, Vimeo, Youtube, Facebook, Myspace… the list goes on and on lol)

Don’t worry – you guys will be able to get familiar with THEM in the video as well lol.

Alright people – without further ado, MistaVybeWorld.com in association with ThisIsJester.com (and The Marcano Management Group), proudly presents the Documentary Film, “MAKING THE MIXTAPE: Soca Certified Smash“!

As always, remember to COMMENT and let us know how you like it. ;-)

Blessings!

Mista Vybe outttttttttttttt!!!

“The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanely sensitive. To them… a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create — so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, their very breath is cut off…”

“They must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency they are not really alive unless they are creating.”- Pearl S. Buck :: US novelist resident in China :: (1892 – 1973)

What yuh waiting for? Go ahead and CLICK THE LINK, so you can get your hands on the FIRST OFFICIAL SOCA MIXTAPE HOSTED BY A REAL SOCA STAR (Yours Truly of course)!

I could go on to say that aside from Your Favourite SupermodelRockstar being the HOST of the mixtape, this BLAZING mixtape also features EXCLUSIVE REMIXES OF SOME OF THE HOTTEST SOCA TUNES FOR 2009… or I could add that the whole thing is EXPERTLY MIXED by NORTH AMERICA’S MOST VERSATILE DJ and 2009 STYLUS SOCA DJ OF THE YEAR, Jester (from the X-Caliber Entourage)… but I know I don’t need to because you already started dowloading, right?

Oh – did I mention LIVE DRUMS on some of the remixes (“Wicked Jab” and “Til The Morning”) were played by T-Dot & St. Kitts’ own Doc Jones HD? While I’m at it, shout ot to the homies DeLaVega and Kid Kut for assisting Jester in mixing the remixes. What? You DIDN’T hear the EXCLUSIVE REMIXES yet? Then DOWNLOAD THE MIXTAPE!!!

One last thing, if you listen closely to the mixtape, you’ll keep hearing a VERY FAMILIAR SMOOTH VOICE (other than mine, I mean lol) announcing all over it. I won’t call any names, but I will say that the VOICE should be really familiar to those of you who (like me) watch BET frequently… ;-)

Okay, that’s it – I’m done. All I have left to say is: “THISISJESTER.COM PRESENTS SOCA CERTIFIED SMASH” – THE MIXTAPE : HOSTED BY MISTA VYBE!

Mista Vybe outttttttttt!!!

You know what they say – “There’s no place like home”. Even though I got a whole bunch of things done while I was in Toronto, Canada for the last few weeks, and even managed to have a little fun there as well, it’s GOOD to be HOME in Sweet TnT at last! As the classic Calypso goes: “Trinidad is MY land, and of it I am proud and glad…” ;-)

No time for me to sit around and chill now that I’m home in TnT though. Aside from my personal responsibilites to take care of, there’s A WHOLE LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE and no time to waste!

Studio sessions to book, tunes to finish recording and mixing for Carnival 2010 and several releases that are out already out (“Little Drummer Boy” from the “A Caribbean Soul Christmas” album as well as “False Pretender” on the Picture Frame Riddim and my solo single “Jam In De Road”), which I plan to promote more now that I’m home. Plus there’s lots of other business for AFTER Carnival 2010 to be handled as well. ;-)

First and foremost, I’ve got to thank my cousin, manager and my right hand, Joanne for making the entire trip AMAZING and helping me get SO MUCH DONE in T-Dot! Also thanks to my family over there in T-Dot (whaddup Naughty V, and HI Auntie Muriel!) for showing me a wonderful time “in the cold”. :-)

Oh and don’t worry T-Dot crew, I won’t even BOTHER to show off on you guys by mentioning that while it’s SNOWING in cold-ass T-Dot, we’ve had BLAZING HOT SUN HERE IN TnT ALL DAY LONG!!! LOL!

Alright, that’s all for now. This is a stronger, wiser, smarter, faster, new and improved Mista Vybe saying “Goodbye Toronto!” and “Hello Trinidad!”.

Time to buckle down and work… Mista Vybe Inna yuh Dancehall again – I’m OUTTTTTTTTT!

In case you’re living under a rock and you actually haven’t heard of the man referred to as “North America’s Most Versatile DJ”, allow me to introduce you to my good friend and one of Toronto’s hottest DJs. MistaVybeWorld.com is proud to “introduce you” to the one and only, JESTER.

This guy is defintitely one of the hardest working turntablists, producers, engineers, remixers and goodness-knows-what-else out there (hmm.. reminds me of ME, except for the turntablist part lol).

So – that being said – here’s the question: what happens when an Unstoppable Force (Jester) meets an Unmovable Mountain (that would be ME) – hmmm?

The answer, of course, is “ThisIsJester.com & MistaVybeWorld.com Presents: THE SOCA CERTIFIED SMASH MIXTAPE” – COMING SOON to MistaVybeWorld.com and to ThisIsJester.com!!!

Stay tuned for more on that – trust me you’re gonna want to cop this one – it’s CRAZY!

Okay  – enough beating around the bush now. Here’s a sneak peek at two of the remixes that Jester and I did for the mixtape… shhhhhh – don’t tell Jester I leaked it okay? lol! Just HUSH nah?

Enjoy the sneak peek of Remix #1: “Slow Wine (Jester’s Smash Remix)” by Machel Montano featuring Mista Vybe!!!

If you liked that, then you’re gonna LOVE Remix #2!

Here’s another exclusive remix from the upcoming “Soca Certified Smash” mixtape, this time our “Smash Remix” of Tallpree’s runaway hit “Wicked Jab”!

Big up to DocJonesHD for the live drums on the Tallpree Remix (and several other that are on the mixtape too), and special thanks to Kid Kut and the homey DeLaVega for helping Jester out with mixing down all the remixes for our BLAZING HOT mixtape!

Want more? Well… the only way you’re going to get more of the amazing remixes we did (and “X-amount of biggg tunes” too, including my NEW SINGLE “Jam In De Road”) is when you get your hands on the “SOCA CERTIFIED SMASH” Mixtape, mixed by Jester and hosted by Yours Truly (Mista Vybe inna yuh dancehall again, yo).

Don’t worry the Mixtape will be released SOON… AS IN ANY DAY NOW, so stay tuned to MistaVybeWorld.com and ThisIsJester.com for the official release date.

For now enjoy the exclusive sneak peek of the remixes! Mista Vybe outttttttttttttt!

In October, Mista Vybe was interviewed by Whitney Williams on Gayelle TV where they briefly discussed his musical background, MistaVybeWorld.com, new music, and of course, enjoyed some “kicks” (Caribbean slang for “jokes”). If you’re not a resident of Trinidad or you missed the vibrantly hysterical Whitney Williams’ interview with Mista Vybe, then check out the recently posted Youtube video – you’re in for a barrel of laughs!

Thank you to Whitney Williams, Reagan Des Vignes and the entire Gayelle crew for a wonderful interview/lime, and for posting the video on Youtube so we can share it with the world.
