The NAACP Honors marie-claire



On Saturday 15th March 2014, the Williamsbridge branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) will, as part of their Women’s History Month celebration, honour Dominica-born singer marie-claire, in recognition and celebration of her extraordinary accomplishments and service to the community.

“marie-claire is a singer without limitation who is accomplished in several genres and we say bravo to her and welcome her into the group of honorees,” Says event host and President of the Westbridge NAACP, Julian McDavid. 
marie-claire

A regular act at New York jazz hot spots Farafina Café and Lounge as well as the Metropolitan Room; marie-claire is oftentimes backed by her own jazz quartet.  She has performed throughout the New York City area including representing the borough of the Bronx as a finalist at the 2013 Battle of the Boroughs and performing the American national anthem at a New York Nets vs. Detroit Pistons basketball game in the newly built Barclays centre in Brooklyn.  In January 2014, famed American composer John Harbison gifted marie-claire with 4 unique compositions to which she is currently penning lyrics. The Pulitzer Prize award-winning Harbison said he was “priviledged” to compose music for marie-claire who he described as “an abundantly talented singer” possessing “a genuine contralto voice and magnetic stage presence.”

marie-claire moved from Dominica to the Bronx at age 4 and returned to the Nature Isle in to explore her familial and musical roots. While on island she hosted and produced a video countown show and spearheaded and co-organized the Year of the Child Concert series. She has performed at several festivals and concerts throughout the region including Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival (Jamaica), Love is all we Need Concert (Antigua), Jazz on the Green (St. Vincent) and le Voces de Jazz Festival (Columbia).

Prior to making her operatic debut at Carnegie Hall, marie-claire was classically trained at the Conservatory of Santa Cecilia in Rome and still continues to perfect her vocal instrument.  She has to-date released an EP entitled dreamland which features the operatic versions of well-known reggae songs “dreamland” and “rasta man chant”  (featuring Spragga Benz), as well as “constellation” as song penned for her by famous Jamaican singer/songwriter Bob Andy.

The Reggae Gentleman Stephen Souza in Manhattan!




Lover’s Rock singing sensation Stephen Souza launches his 3rd studio album entitled The Reggae Gentleman in Manhattan, New York on Sunday March 23rd, 2014 at the Drom lounge located at 85 Avenue A. 

Backed by the Skadanks Band, Stephen will perform music from his new CD which includes a cover of Dennis Brown’s “Silhouette,” as well as original songs “Sounds Explosion” and “Missing You.”  The artists’ style and presentation has been compared to Beres Hammond whom he counts as one of his role models.  “Fans have told me I remind them of Beres,” said Stephen “and that is the ultimate compliment … that means I’m hitting the right notes!”

Performing for the past 38 years, Stephen began his career in the US as the opening act and backing vocalist for the Crown Prince of Reggae, Dennis Brown.  During his time with the Crown Prince, Stephen learned the art of engaging audiences, and incorporating them with stage show performances.  Stephen also developed the art of song writing, and discernment for which musical composition to attach his lyrics.  Songs such as “Sensi Smoker Pt. 2” is an example as is “Treat Her Like a Lady.”

Radio personalities who have previewed Stephen’s album agree that the artist delivers fantastic music that will easily be classics.  Rupie Thompson from Splash Radio in New Jersey says “Stephen has one of the finest recording voices that is a must see live.  He really is an outstanding artist.”

Fans and media are invited to join Stephen on Sunday March 23rd at the Drom Lounge in Manhattan, New York.  RSVP to requestitagainmusic@gmail.com.  The event is hosted by DJ Bandit, turntable music provided by Dimex Sounds, and sponsored by RTN Productions, Transcontinental Shipping and media personality Maxine Greaves of GMax Enterprise.
