Quite a number of upcoming entertainers are moving into the area of production, effectively doing for themselves what producers won't do for them.
"That's the way it is going now," says singer Mark Ice.
"You can't wait until the big producers feel they want to give your career a shot. It is your future and you have to take it into your own hands," he said.
He has teamed up with DJ Dillgin to work on a production and distribution project. Their label is called Wall Street and has as its chief executive officer, New York-based Charles Parchment. They have been working on a number of projects, but the one receiving most attention is Custos.
Now there is a plan to do a video to increase the presence of the songs in the market place.
"We will be shooting soon. We are just putting the final touches to the script," said Dillgin.
As producers, they were responsible for Capleton's monster hit Dutty Life and they have a new rhythm on which they have worked with big names such as George Nooks, Half Pint, Thriller U, Burro Banton and Beenie Man.
