On August 13, 1990, this brilliant son of Jamaica made his entrance on life’s stage as an agent of change for this troubled state. Kemar Daswell is a creative and vibrant youth whose role on earth is to create positive change through the legacy he’s developing.
His mind and creative entrepreneurial talent were nurtured and honed at his alma maters, Kingston College, the Pre-University at UWI Mona and the Media Programme at Northern Caribbean University.
At 17 years old, this remarkable youngster conceptualized and created the events planning company, ‘D'Events’, which is now among the fore-runners of its industry.
‘D’Events’ has been instrumental in the creation and execution of many projects including: hosting Caribbean Airlines Pixie Du Coudray on her visit to Jamaica (its biggest achievement yet.), sponsoring events such as UBER : BOLD Fashion Edition (June 2009), Solstice (Nov. 2009), Amani Kode (Dec 2009), POSHE Trunk Show (Dec 2009), HU$TLIN FOR HAITI (Jan. 2010).
Since its inception ‘D’Events has broadened its reach to, in association with Axes Media,and has become a Public Relations (PR) Mecca as well; handling PR for such business/entertainment interests as ‘Chekkazz Dancers’, ‘White Out Dancers’, ‘Music for Life (Lawman Lynch Foundations Charity Concert)’, and still in talk with many others who are interested in working with him.
Kemar’s creation, ‘D’Eevents’, has also been instrumental in his forming relations with figures such as,Heike Wollenweber, Tara Playfair Scott, Carleen Samuels, Jay Will, Dominique Simone Davis and other entertainment insiders.
Kemar is also a freelance writer for mplsdancehall.com and his work has been seen in the local publications as well as other websites that have taken a liking to his writing styles. He has been the booking agent and media contact for DJ Solar Dre of Solar Sound and others. His articles have also een featured on Jahkno.com and TuffChin.com and published in the newly released EFrenzy Newspaper for starters.
The future seems bright for this youngster who seems to have no sight in ending soon, many attest to his never ending passion and that's his driving force, always creating new ideas waiting for the right opportunity for them to be launched.

 Have you seen the "I am Joy" slogan going around? Are you familiar with the rustic and deep tones of a recording artiste responsible for hits like "Far Away"? Then you must know Neil Amos, one of the hardest working and most lyrical new artiste on the block. From his hit single "Far Away" that gave him great attention from artistes like Gyptian, Timberlee, Lymie Murry and most recently the crowned King of Dancehall Beenie Man, this new artiste is set on his journey to great things.
Neil Amos is like none other. From stepping out in the dancehall reggae stage, he has created waves with his unique voice that some say is heard every ten years. As such, some have already put him in high regards and have placed him on their watch list. Most recently, to his list of singles is "Clean & Come Out" on the 007 Riddim with Beenie Man, the single has gotten a lot of regional attention and fans as far as Europe. With over 1,000 YouTube clicks in a space of three weeks, the single is indeed working its way onto the airwaves.

She is the current Queen of the Dancehall Industry with mega hits under her belt like “I Got Your Man” and “Man is the Least” and many others. This dynamic and versatile queen can do no wrong according her fans and many of the music industry's legends and has survived many storms in the industry to maintain the top position. Lady Saw is undoubtedly a woman to be reckoned with. Her new album “My Way”, now in major record stores, is a true testament of her long-lasting career with hits like the popular “Party Till December” which she recently shot a video for at the Fiction Lounge in St.Andrew, Jamaica.
The video was directed by international video director Jason “Jay Will” Williams and edited by Kao:Arts the video has a feel of a high energy club party vibes with hundreds of Jamaica’s leading and upcoming dancers being featured throughout with special segments by the ladies of ‘Upstage Dancers’ and Whiteout Dancers. The director Jay Will must be commended for creating what can be easily said a free-spirited video where the viewer can just get into the party mood even if the video is on mute. The concept of the video for a lack of a better word is ‘wicked’ as said by a group of young adults that viewed the video. In the video, Lady Saw's male lead is seen going out with his friend with the expectation that she remains at home based on the perception she gives, but low and behold, she is off to the club with her friend and parties the night away.

When the masses heard that fashion’s hot spot, Grandeur, was about to “lock shop” and move, there was hushed excitement as to where the new location would be, and what they will offer at the much-improved location. Opened for just under a year and already business has caused for a location change and increase in stock, the proprietors of Grandeur must be pleased with where business is going at this crucial economical time.
It was in March of this year that they first opened doors and exposed Jamaicans to great shopping deals and like consumer affairs capped their prices at no more than JMD$4,000 on any particular item. It was this ‘madness’ that got the attention of many of Kingston’s socialites and party goers to find just what was going on at the new store. With no strings attached and no flattery, these prices have been maintained since the start of business which could have been seen as a marketing ploy to trap buyers. However, trapping buyers they have done, but never increased their prices.
