...two women have reigned supreme on the Magnum stage.
The third season of Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall continues at Weekendz Bistro and Bar on Constant Spring Road at 9:30pm.
Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall has over the years provided equal opportunity to both male and female contestants. At the end of the competition both the Magnum King and Queen of Dancehall receive the same amount of prize money, a professionally recorded single and video. Through this effort over the last two seasons two women have reigned supreme on the Magnum stage.
In 2008 Baby Tash came out on top and since then there has been no turning back for her. It was the start of an exciting journey of exploration and discovery in the music industry. She gave up her job at Sandals Montego Bay in order to focus on her blossoming career and has so far received wide acclaim for her music.
Her single Mix Up was produced by the experienced Skatta Burrell, while the video was directed by award winning video director, Jay Will. Baby Tash has also done stints at Manchester Fiesta, GT Taylor Christmas Extravaganza, Stone Love Anniversary, Mavado’s Album Launch and Fully Loaded.
In 2009 another female inherited the Magnum Queen of Dancehall crown from Baby Tash. Tiki, wowed the crowd with her intoxicating lyrics and had them moving to her Tiki Wine, since then the artiste has not looked back.
Tiki, who was motivated to enter the music business by her deceased cousin, believed in her lyrical abilities including her song writing skills. The young deejay started singing and writing songs while still a youngster at 12 years old. She captured the sights of Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall when she auditioned in May Pen with the song Hard Core. Since winning the competition the artiste has released several songs including the infamous Tiki Wine. Tiki has also performed on several shows overseas and is now signed to Out-A-Road records.
The concept of giving equal opportunity to women on the Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall stage has been very popular with dancehall fans as it gives voters a choice to choose both a King and a Queen. Both females have development into accomplished artistes at various stages for their development.
Watch the princesses of Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall perform for you tonight at Weekendz Bistro and Bar, but if you can’t be there tune in exclusively on TVJ every Saturday night at 9:30pm
