Stanpipe

After a series of Promotional activities geared towards creating a buzz and enhancing his public image locally, Reggae artiste Stanpipe who named himself after the community he grew up called Stanpipe in Barbican is back on the island to extend the promotional campaign to encourage sale on his debut album entitle “Lifes Water” on Itunes, Rhapsody, Amazon, Napster and all Etailers worldwide.

His aim is to book live performances locally and internationally by summer of 2010. Better known for his “Ghetto Youths” collaboration with Natty Remo and “Cut It Off” which got much airplay on local radio, Stanpipe expects to get just as much love locally with his collaboration with Dancehall first lady D’Angel. The single is entitle “Thank you for being a friend” and is one of the tracks taken from his album.

Stanpipe loves Dancehall music but grew up on conscious Reggae as his mother, Queen Minnie owned and operated Minnie’s Vegetarian Restaurant in Liguanea and toured with Bob Marley and the Wailers back then. Stanpipe’s dad is founder and owner of Sons Junior International base in Brooklyn New York. His uncle Cornell Chin, selector of the same sound plays an integral role in the shaping of his career.
