"FROM MY HEART" reaches mtv

Abby Dallas

One Jam recording artiste Abby Dallas has finally premiered her highly publicised music video for her single ‘From My Heart’.

From My Heart debuted in Jamaica to rave reviews on popular video programs on RE TV, Hype TV and MDTV. However, the single is also raising eyebrows on the international scene after it was added to MTV’s official playlist.

Abby Dallas’ music video now enables her to share bragging rights with established dancehall artistes Sean Paul, Bounty Killer, Beenie Man, Elephant Man, Shaggy, Lady Saw, Shabba and Cham, among others as local acts who have had their music streamed on the long-standing pop and hip hop network.

“This a major achievement and we are just getting started. MTV is the standard for music videos and for us to break into that market, it can only open other doors for us,” Dallas’ publicist Melissa told the media.

From My Heart is produced by dancehall artist/producer Cutty Ranks.

Yuh get to earn a living when you’re abroad, but I got my start in Jamaica an’ there is still the foundation,” he said.Chrisinti’s last solid hit in Jamaica came in 2005 with a cover of soul singer Angie Stone’s My Sunshine.Born Paul Hudson, Chrisinti was raised in the Kingston community of Waterhouse, stomping ground for many roots-reggae artistes including Black Uhuru and Junior Reid.Since making his recording debut in 1997, he has recorded for various producers including Colin ‘Iley Dread’ Levy, Bobby ‘Bobby Digital’ Dixon and Lloyd ‘King Jammys’ James.
