 Veteran soca artiste Peter Ram is set to record a collaboration with
songstress Jadine. Jadine, who hails from Montserrat,
started her career as a songstress in 2003, and has quickly become one of the
fastest rising stars in soca earning her two separate nominations as Best New
Female Soca Artist in 2005 and again in 2008 for Best Groovy Soca
Collaboration with Vincy soca artist Problem Child by the Soca
Awards Committee. In 2009, she was the New England Urban Music Award
winner of Best Caribbean Female Artist.
Jadine credits her family for first realizing her potential. When she was
fourteen they forced her to sing at her aunt’s wedding. Delightfully laughing at
the memory Jadine says, "I cried the whole time, but by the time I was
eighteen, I was the queen of karaoke, you could not get a microphone out of my
hands."
Not surprising, over the past few years the demand for a performance by
Jadine has spread throughout the entertainment industry. Her debut single
and video, “Don't Call My Phone” was amongst the soca's crème de la crème
on VP Records prestigious compilation, Soca Gold 2008. It went on
to debut on Tempo Networks in the number 2 spot on the Cross Caribbean
Countdown. She went on to performing alongside female calypsonian the
legendary Singing Sandra , KMC, Iwer George, Peter Ram,
Collie Buddz, Machel Montano, Cecile, Sanchez,
Leon and The Peoples to name a few at varying events throughout the
region. She proudly represented Montserrat at the 2005 New York Caribbean
Tourism Organization Week Celebration during which they hosted the launch of
MTV New Caribbean Channel "TEMPO”.
Teaming up with Vicrae Management Inc, Jadine is currently working on her
sophomore album that will fuel a season of change. Featured producers include,
Godfrey “Cherry” Ince for Black Heat Entertainment, Kamau “Mr.
Network” Georges and Garvin “Scrappy” Johnson for Danger1
Productions. Passionate, driven and soulful, Jadine is poised to be a
cultural force wearing her West Indian heritage proudly on her chest.
Demonstrating her ability to appeal to all audiences, she gets the clubs jumping
with her bass heavy R&B-Soca styled joints like “Stay In Touch” and “Do
It Better” and appeals to the European dance market with her “tribal
remixes”.
With her recently released single “Do It Better” she does indeed try to.
She amazes and dazzles people with her rich voice and eclectic style creating an
interesting dynamic that will tickle Soca audiences throughout the world. Be on
the look out for the release of her upcoming album “Unleash De Deva“ and
her collaboration with Pyramid’s Peter Ram. |
