Trekar wants to be ‘Top Man’
Dancehall artiste Trekar is gunning for the top position in the world of dancehall.
“I am taking nothing for granted, so I am putting in the hard work to be one of the best in the game. I am confident that I can get to the next level without the gimmicks or the controversy. Mi is a man no like talk. Mi action-pack, so mi just ah go do it mek the whole world see it,” Trekar said.
The deejay is banking on the success of his latest release, Top Man, which was released on MaineStone Entertainment label via iTunes and other streaming sites. The video was released last week.
“The ladies seem to love the Top Man single cause the feedback has been really good via social media since the video was released. My management will be focusing on getting more shows this first quarter. There is also interest from promoters in a tour of Canada in June,” Trekar said.
Trekar grew up in Greater Portmore. While attending Wolmer’s Boys’ School, he played basketball and represented the school’s track team.
However, it was music that was his first true love, and he began to spend several afternoons at a studio.
He signed to Mainstone Entertainment last year and recorded several songs, such as the aforementioned Top Man and Dreamchaser.
One of his most popular songs is Ghetto Struggles, which has racked up over 30,000 views since its release in December 2017.
After finding the ‘remedy’ with a single of the same name with Nadine Sutherland, Zyon-I has been working towards building his fan base in Jamaica and is calling for Change.
The new single, produced by Wayne Thompson, Jason Welsh, Nicholas Drosopf and Kevon Webster, speaks to several socioeconomic challenges faced all over the world, how they all correlate, and the need for change.
Change, written by Zyon-I and his brother, Jason Getfield, has powerful lyrics and shows the versatility of the artiste.
Zyon-I said, “There are so many issues plaguing us as a nation, and what happens abroad will affect us a yaad, so I want to implore others to create change. While I am still establishing myself as an artiste, I feel obligated to use my platform to create a positive impact.”
Zyon-I, who started in music at an early age, is now on the promotional trail receiving support from loyal fans, as well as local and international media outlets.
“I believe that local media and entertainers like myself have been calling for change for a long time now. This fight is one that is ongoing. We need to put a stop to crime and violence, hatred and discrimination, and just overall negativity,” he said.
