Making of music video - Love De Carnival

Wow!!!! Another music video and I am especially grateful to ALL who worked around the clock to make it possible.

I stand corrected but I think that my team is the first to produced the first tagged video in Barbados. Congratulations to you on this big achievement.

It all started with producing the tagged for ‘Push Back’. This happened on November 9, 2008 and what freaked me out was we expected the tag to be completed in about 2 hours. We were wrong…..lol….it actually took about 4 ½ hours to shoot. The reason??? We were having tooooooo much fun and didn‘t care about the time. The dancers and I had a blast.

On November 29, 2008 was the shoot of ‘Love De Carnival’. The key crew members including myself reached location at 10 am. It was a long trek across sand, gravel, mud and grass before we reached the location with heavy equipment, food, makeup, clothing and other materials. The shoot for this song took approximately 10 hours.

Thanks to Selwyne "Get Bizzy" Browne and his crew. To Nicholas and Maurice luv yuh bad, my true inspiration to creating. Lorena for photography and Dance Machine dancers. To the people who played many roles that day, Lia Gajadhar, (Manager, Director, Makeup Artist, Creative and Artistic Person, Technical Assistance); Anthony Best (Stylist and Creative and Artistic Person, Technical Assistance) and Romel ‘Sanctuary’ Bennett (Song Writer and Technical Assistance).

Despite all the hard work we had lots of fun. Check out the behind the scene video where you see everyone in action. It is plain raw footage and you will love it.

You can let me have your comments on what you think of the song and the video by emailing me at www.myspace.com/tarahholdipp.

Nuff luv and respect.

Getting Ready for Next Video

Hey y'all, wad up?

First let me thank everyone from across the world for sending me so much love and for all the lovely comments about the video "All Nite".

Guess what???? I will be on set shortly for the filming of my next video. This one promises to be a wild one but lots of fun. The video will be released with a brand new track in early December and I just can't wait. Sure you can't wait either.

So just stay tuned for more updates as the time draws near.

Luv y'all and peace

BEHIND THE SCENES

Making of Music Video "All Nite"

It's been a long, long time since I last post anything on my blog but trust me I was extremely busy.

Special thanks to everyone who participated in the production, which was done by Selwyne "Get Bizzi" Browne and directed by the crew from Majahri Image Specialists.

Look out for the release of the video, behind the scenes clips and pics coming soon!!!!

Rihanna being broke????? hmmmmm

I received a copy of this report about Rihanna being broke...but where's the source of this information. In my view Rihanna could have $1.00 she will still be my Bajan Queen.

My interview at BoomTribe tv on working with Dwain Antrobus

This was my first tv interview for the Crop Over season 2008 and trust me, I had a blast. At the interview, I was sharing my views on working with producer Mr. Dwain Antrobus on the album Feels Nas, which I am featured on. My track on the album is called "All Nite" written by Sanctuary and featured on the Bad Boy Rhythm which features the energy God himself Mr. Machel Montano feat Patrice Roberts on the track 'Tempa Wine'.

I am proud of the response this song has received and it is currently enjoying airplay on BBC1Xtra London, Canada and NY. Nuff respect to the local dj's for pumping this tune everyday.

Big ups to Dwaingerous for producing a wonderful track and Sanctuary for penning a great song.

Keep tuned for more music and go out and get your Feels Nas album today and remember to buy the original and not the pirated copies.
