FULL INFO BELOW:

Producer Romell Smith, aka Smiddy Smith, took the library of sounds we recorded at the Anguilla Music Academy and added more instrumentation to present his take on the sounds of Soca music. The result is a pack full of loops and one-shots of energetic and electric dance rhythms with feel-good undertones straight from the home of Soca: Trinidad and Tobago.

One of the sharp minds and talented musicians behind StarBlu Entertainment, Smiddy was surrounded by music lovers since childhood. His journey began with tin pans and wooden spoons at home, later playing alongside musicians in the band Rhapsody Next Generation (RNG), which exposed him to some of Trinidads finest artists like Destra Garcia, Machel Montano, Denise Belfon, Rikki Jai, Kes, and Olatunji, to name a few. The defining moment that fully pushed him into music was hearing a track by his now business partner Daryl Samuel that immediately felt like destiny - a feeling amplified when he met Ajari Jules and Juston London. Their collective creativity and passion led to the formation of StarBlu Entertainment.

Smiddy began working in the music business in 2009, where he continued honing and enhancing his production techniques, taking inspiration from the people around him while staying true to his unique style. ?I like to give people mood swings?, he says, speaking to the deep emotional connection he taps into when making music. Its all about the listening experience, what listeners visualize when they hear a track, and how he can help them see the full picture.

Living with the mantra of Never doubt yourself, StarBlu Entertainment has worked with artists from around the Caribbean region and internationally to produce songs from soca and dancehall to Rand;B and pop. Trinidads Destra Garcia, Fayann Lyons, Bunji Garlin, and Preedy; Barbados King Bubba FM, Allison Hinds, and Biggie Irie Jamaicas Aidonia and Konshens; Bahamas Wendi; and St. Lucias Big Vybe, Sedale; and Africas Seyi Shay and CDQ are among the line up of stars to have benefitted from the teams producing talents. To date, some of the hit songs include On My Way by Machel Montano, Soca Save My Life by Destra, Stranger Things Riddim, and The For You Project.
