SHAKA DEE
RELEASES HIT SINGLE "MY NUMBER ONE LADY" WORLDWIDE
NY, NY 07.15.08 – While the world is waiting for the next big evolution in Reggae Music since Sean Paul, one needs to look no further. Moonlight Entertainment Record has been blessed and fortunate enough to acquire exclusively this Reggae, Rapper, Pop, Producer, Songwriter extraordinaire artist Shaka Dee, who spits lyrical rhymes like fire and rocks out of a volcano. This extremely talented and entertaining Reggae genius has already began to rock the U.S., Europe, Japan, and the Caribbean with his great vocals and delightful rhythms. So, don't ask for curriculum vitae, for the list of accomplishments under his belt goes on and on. "His drive and determination and, to be frank, the magnitude of his gifts, have rewarded him with exclusive collaborations and chart-topping materials", said one writer.
Shaka Dee recently dropped his 1 hit single "MY NUMBER ONE LADY" from his upcoming album "SURVIVOR" with a collabo with Kat De Luna from Epic Records. It quickly topped at 1 in Japan and the Caribbean for the last 1½ month, and is now in heavy rotation in Europe. Shaka is highly requested in Europe and Japan where he's already been booked for several road shows, Radio and TV advertisements, and concerts. He's done numerous drops for DJ's in the U.S. who can quickly recognize the next greatest artist to hit the airwaves. Full of confidence and vigor, he is promoting his album by doing opening acts for well-known artists such as Kanye West for his Sept. 08 show in Las Vegas, NV. Shaka's worked diligently with such powerful producers and songwriters such as Wyclef Jean, Red One, to say the least. His album also includes many other talented performers such as Mya and Wyclef Jean. As BILLBOARD.COM puts it, "From the two best selling singles from Kat De Luna's album, Shaka Dee has already proven that he has what it takes to become the new top Reggae/Pop/Rap artist." Top music legend producer/songwriter Quincy Jones, who just received BET lifetime achievement award said: "SHAKA DEE is one of the best talented newcomers the music industry has been waiting for." A few weeks ago, on July 17, 08 Shaka, Mel-Soul-Tree, and Michael Fredo came together to participate in a fund raising project for the U.N. for clean water in Haiti. He performed live in the presence of U.N. personnel, and the Haitian's Consul General, Felix Augustin, in NYC. His next f und raising project will be held in Rockland County, N.Y., for children across the U.S. In other words, Shaka Dee is not just a musical voice; he is one with a loving heart.
In the past, collaborating with Kat De Luna and Jay Millz in 2005, SHAKA DEE produced a hit record entitled "DALE DURO", with a Spanish flavor, which topped at 1 in Europe and Japan, while making a lot of noise down the East Coast in the U.S. Immediately, KAT DELUNA's record label requested to have him at their recording studio in NYC for her incoming album "9 LIVES" that dropped in August of 07. He recorded a 2-song album "RUN THE SHOW" and "TO BE REMEMBERED". As one writer puts it, "These two songs were an instant hit, and are top-sellers as Ringtones and Hightones on the internet".
But, being so talented attracted the attention of major record labels in the U.S and Europe. GMB offered SHAKA DEE to become the absolute powerhouse and major force on their label after acquiring KAT DELUNA. Regardless, he felt compelled to sign with MOONLIGHT ENTERTAINMENT RECORD/UMG with which he was more comfortable because of their work ethic, passion for music, respect for the art and the artists, and down to earth attitude.
As many in the music industry have put it, SHAKA DEE, the Reggae world's new prodigy has arrived.
