I-Octane
Singjay I-Octane, who received four nominations in this year’s Youth View Awards (YVAs), says he is committed to staying true to himself and his fans by continuing to provide musical diversity.
The nominations are for ‘Cultural Artiste of the Year"; ‘Young Hot and Hype"; ‘Favourite Musical Collaboration’ with Vanessa Bling for Cya Do It; and ‘Fashion Icon’.
“I-Octane manages to skillfully find the balance between culture and dancehall, therefore,it comes as no surprise that he is nominated for ‘Cultural Artiste of the Year’, while getting a nod for his dancehall tunes with female deejay Vanessa Bling. It’s all about staying current and responding to the demand that is out there,” manager Ray Alexander said.
While the fans are busy voting to ensure the artiste’s success in the YVAs, I-Octane is occupied providing new songs and well-produced music videos to keep his ever-growing fan base fully entertained. The singjay’s latest venture, the video shoot for the single Gyal Ting, is no different.
The song, which is already showing its dominance in the dancehall, and which has demonstrated its potential to top the charts, Gyal Ting is produced by Chimney Records on the popular ‘Happy Hour’ rhythm.
Teeming with vibe and positive energy, the video, which was shot last week at Famous nightclub in Portmore,was directed by in-demand video director Bling Blang.
I-Octane, who is happy with the outcome, describes the occasion as “one of the best video shoots I have ever experienced”.
Meanwhile, the artiste is looking forward to performing alongside the top Jamaican artistes on the Digicel Bob Marley 70th Concert on February 7 at the Waterfront, downtown Kingston. The concert also features Capleton, Freddy McGregor, Judy Mowatt, Cocoa Tea, Richie Spice, the Marley sons Ky-mani and Damion, along with other acts.
