The event will be emceed by Jamaica's Hot 102 FM's Richie B.Buju Banton is an old favourite, while Gyptian and Alaine are relative newcomers. The Royal Gazette got an idea of where they came from and what they are planning for crowds at Somerset Cricket Club on Saturday night.

Mark Anthony Myrie, a.k.a. Buju Banton, has been in the music business for as long as he can remember. He entered the Jamaican music business when he was only 12 and at that time he was known as the Lambada Man. Shortly thereafter he became known as the Gargamel.

"Being in Dancehall at such a young age, seeing people with microphones, hearing the music was the most mystical feeling I ever encountered," he recalled.

"The first time I got the chance to make a song, my head swell so big, I knew right there that there was no turning back!

"He then adopted yet another moniker that would prove to be as enduring as his career would turn out to be Buju, which was the nickname given to him by his mother, and Banton in tribute to Burro Banton's influence.

By the time he was 13, he was perfecting his deejay delivery by working with a variety of sound systems including Rambo International and Sweet Love. Deejay Clement Irie introduced Buju to Robert French who produced his debut single 'The Ruler' in 1986; Buju went on to record with Bunny Lee and Winston Riley, the latter producing his first hit 'Stamina Daddy'.Buju Banton's was the youngest of 15 children born to a higgler or market vendor mother. He is a descendant of the Maroons, the fierce freedom fighters who fended off attacks from the British colonial regiments by escaping into Jamaica's dense mountainous areas.

Six years after he began deejaying professionally, his career accelerated into high gear with the 1991 release of Mr. Mention; propelled by the overwhelming popularity of the hits 'Big It Up' and 'Batty Rider', and in 1992 Buju broke Bob Marley's record for the most number one singles in one year on the Jamaican charts.

At just 20 years old Buju's 1993 release 'Voice of Jamaica' was lauded for its topical lyrics as exemplified in the safe sex anthem 'Willy Don't Be Silly'.In 1994 he launched Operation Willy, a nonprofit organisation run in conjunction with JAS (Jamaican AIDS Support).

"It promotes safe sex education while assisting those afflicted with HIV/AIDS," he explained.On the musical side he remained equally progressive releasing the Grammy nominated 'Til Shiloh' (Loose Cannon) in 1995, which Rolling Stone magazine cited as one of the best albums of the 1990s.Rhythms like 'Murderer', 'Untold Stories', 'Inna Heights', 'Afrikan Pride' and the shuffling ska tune 'Small Axe' are just some that will be a part of his performance.Singer and songwriter Alaine Laughton, known only by her first name will wow the crowds this weekend with 'Sacrifice' and 'No Ordinary Love' to name a few.Alaine is the perfect combination of beauty and unbridled talent. Her voice is sweet and her song writing skills show her fathomless depth of experiences. She studied classical piano for four years and began writing songs at a very early age. Her talents as a singer and actress did not go unnoticed and she secured roles in numerous Jamaican television programmes, commercials, radio jingles and theatrical productions.

By the age of nine Alaine had been a Red Cross Ambassador, performed in several cabaret shows and national events, hosted a popular children's television show, and landed herself a role in the movie 'Clara's Heart', which starred Whoopi Goldberg. She then went to university and graduated with an honours degree in management and psychology. Alaine moved to New York where she juggled working in the investment bank, JP Morgan, while pursuing her musical career.

During that time she says: "I sang hooks for Roc-A-Fella recording artist, Cam'Ron, in the songs, 'Live My Life' (Leave Me Alone) from the album 'Come Home With Me' in 2002. Then 'Yeo' from music inspired by Scarface with Def Jam in 2003."But after receiving two promotions at JP Morgan, I would no longer have the time to dedicate to my music career and so I had to choose between the security of a fulltime job and the uncertainty that came with pursuing music.

"I took a leap of faith and chose to return to Jamaica to pursue music fulltime."Since returning to Jamaica three years ago, Alaine has worked with some of the islands top producers including the internationally acclaimed Sly & Robbie (No Doubt) and Donovan 'Don Corleon' Bennett (Sean Paul, T. O. K). Her music is a mixture of traditional Jamaican Dancehall/Reggae rhythms combined with writing and vocal arrangements that showcase her R&B/Hip Hop influences. Her song 'No Ordinary Love' charted on several Reggae Charts across the world, while the music video topped the charts on MTV Tempo's Cross Caribbean Countdown for several weeks and became the first video by a female reggae artist to be retired from the countdown on one of Jamaica's biggest video request shows, E-Strip.Many of her singles like 'Deeper', 'Wine', 'Heavenly', and 'Jah Jah Cry' have been featured on compilation albums.

She has collaborated with Beres Hammond, Sly and Robbie and Beenie Man.Aside from performing all over the Caribbean and the US, she toured with other popular Jamaican artists to spread the message of HIV awareness and AIDS prevention to several high schools in Jamaica.

Also taking the stage this weekend will be non other than the formidable Windel Beneto Edwards, a.k.a. Gyptian.Gyptian hails from King Weston a rural district, in St. Andrew. His father was a Rastafarian, while his mother Seventh Day Adventist, who he describes as the disciplinarian of the family.Unlike many performers, Gyptian was at first hesitant about becoming are recording artist, although he began singing in the church at seven.

Recognising his God-given talent, his parents soon introduced the resistant youngster to Mr. Wong, a producer from Portmore, in St. Catherine."I did not take it seriously," he said"My family members have always been carrying me to Portmore to see him, but I usually disappear. One day, they dropped me off at his studio and left me and it all began there.

"Gyptian is a name that was given to him by Mr. Wong, Richie Bang and others from the studio, because he had a habit of tying his shirt around his head and twisting his chin hair like an Egyptian Pharaoh.

Under the guidance of Mr. Wong and Earl Chinna Smith, Gyptian honed his unique sound, winning the 2004 Star Search talent competition at Ken's Wild Flower Lounge in Portmore, earning him a spot at Sting 2004, which was dubbed the greatest one night Reggae show on earth.In 2005, the previously unknown singer rose to international acclaim when his debut single 'Serious Times' hit the top of the local and overseas Reggae charts, and defeated even Junior Gongs Top Ten Billboard hit 'Welcome to Jamrock', to be declared Jamaica's Most Important Song of 2005.

He has been nominated for Best New Entertainer at the 2006 International Reggae and World Music Awards, the 23-year-old velvet-voiced singer has been dominating the charts with a slew of hit singles including 'Is There a Place', 'Beautiful Lady', and the chart-topping ballad 'Mama, Don't Cry'. The young, gifted, and conscious singer is very protective of keeping his sound 100 percent Gyptian.

"You have to think about what people think and how they feel, the real things that people see," he said."Any track at all you hear from Gyptian, right by my fingers out of my head."On his music, he says: "At this juncture in my life, I live, eat, and breathe music!

"The very air that comes from my mouth brings words of power and wisdom. I have the urge to teach my brothers and sisters until eternity."
