Trinity Promotions S E and Da Prodigy Muzik present Frass Friday 68th edition dubbed ‘Reggae in the Ghetto’. The monthly Frass Squad event is about to become even more lit when Jamaican Reggae artiste Medician touches down on the scene next Friday, January 31, at the Tiger Bay Parking Lot.
The singer is well-known for “Take Control”, a collaboration with Loyal Flames. His other songs include “Stick By Me,” “Fake Fren,” “Mi Darlin,” “Jah Love,” “Forward Ever Backward Never,” “Can’t Get Me Down,” “Me Love My Mama,” “Suffer” and “Nah Back Down”.
Medician, born Everol James Campbell at Barton’s Bamboo Ridge, St Catherine, Jamaica came to have a love for music at a young age, while a pupil of Barton Primary. By the time he began attending Tacius Golding High School he was doing covers of established singers at various school concerts. The singer confided that his passion saw him skipping school though he quickly said in the same sentence that he would never encourage children to skip classes. He graduated from Tacius and furthered his studies at other institutions.
Though he is mostly into reggae, the artiste said he can perform any genre. “I [intend] to deliver good music and use [my] music to touch people from all walks of life,” Medician said.
Frass Friday was founded last November as an avenue to promote up and coming Guyanese artistes. The platform is open to all Guyanese artistes performing in any genre to rehearse along with their peers. Over the last year, a total of 200 artistes registered with the group. Every Friday these artistes perform at Tiger Bay before their peers and whatever assembled audience on a first come-first served basis.
While all registered artistes are considered to be members of the movement called the Frass Friday Camp, only those deemed ready to make their own music are allowed to join what is called the Frass Squad. On the last Friday of every month a selected set of the Frass Squad goes head to head in a showdown to see who the best is.
Showtime is 7 pm and tickets cost $500 before 11 pm.
