PROMISE By Natalie Clarke 2008-05-23Promise…gives his word that if you follow his songs, listen to his lyrics, step to his beat you’ll never want an ordinary flow again. Check it, words form our levity daily and Promise places your life and mine into rhythms that reflect those experiences. Kobla Mentor aka PROMISE, with determination as his sword, and a strong visionary mind, has been shaping his career path since Primary school days. At T.N. Kirnon in Antigua, the young boy, last of ten siblings kept peace with his soul by writing. He was taught to play guitar on quiet Chinese restaurant work nights as he made his way through high school days.This relationship with words and strings led Promise to produce his first reggae dancehall album, “Feel Me 2000” before he left fifth form at Princess Margaret high school.He muses, “Watching You…one of the first reggae songs I wrote collaborating with Pat Edwards produced here in Antigua at a Fort Road Studio, I got the chance to remix at Cave Man Studios JA later on.”Prmise says the man we know as Sleepy also sang lead at this time when he formed Maximum Band bringing out the first single “Rescue Me” a Rhythm and Blues number. For the love of Jimmy Hendrix, Bob Marley, Michael Jackson, famous creative entertainers and many more, Promise continued to mature in his craft under these influences, but the pull of the world caused his restless heart to want more than Antigua and Barbuda could offer.Promise who has already lived his life in full says, “you never know until you look back over those school days and realize how many opportunities you were given…. thanks to teachers from school I write, thanks to a friend from State College, Switzerland became a reality…as my mind was already travelling.”He smiles, twinkling eyes, laughs and starts to tell his bittersweet journey stories [email protected] 1995 and 2000 Promise continued in his quest for fame and fortune playing guitar and singing his unique songs around the Eastern Caribbean, Jamaica, Europe, and Antigua. This words-smith had the privilege of opening for Anthony B in Germany, Morgan Heritage in France. Went to Switzerland many times and produced the first reggae dancehall single ever recorded there…”Young Girls Redemption” on the One Drop label…the funky dred DJ Promise carried all his equipment in a bag on his back, bringing the vibes Caribbean style to the European stage. He even redid through Canadian Ting Deh Productions the single “Straight Up”, a song which came off the “Feel Me 2000” album. His restless spirit always searching…he wandered in to the States and found a space in which to rest for a moment forming the band Booty Snatchers and his own label Good Vybes Production. The singles “Espana” and “Gundunn” came out of this fast paced period and the band won a New York Tri State talent show with interview and song in rotation on WLIB a Brooklyn based popular radio station.Travel lust finally came to an end in 2004 when Promise came home to Antigua and brought out an album through Ruff Kut Records and under the producer skills of Burga called “All of Me” of which the “Can’t Stop Me” single produced by Rohan Hector and Mark Wright shone. Antigua’s greatest summer festival Carnival 2003 brought a hook up with Sean Ryan aka Wanski and the single “More Gal” won the coveted Road March Award. Promise’s flirt with Carnival led to another single “Forbidden” entered in to the Party Soca Monarch competition 2006 reaching the finals. Actually, the next year the Groovy category of this competition was created as this slow groove founded a new musical move.Having seen and done so many things in life gives Promise a depth of character precious. This is heard clearly in his fifth album “A Prayer” created under the Chosen Sounds Label produced by Mike Teron from Trafficing Entertainment. Omari Harrigan, creative producer/owner of Chosen Sounds and Promise have a ten year affiliation which has brought him back to the family growing stronger than ever. He now charts a different course with an experienced compass, taking you the fans on a journey flow smoother, clearer, and lyrically more desirable.Check myspace.com/promise111 for more information.Bio Info By Natalie Clarke 2008-05-23 Kobla Mentor aka PROMISEhey joe
