		<description><![CDATA[At KRucial Community Radio, quality trumps quantity. Each segment is under half an hour, just right for listeners&#39; busy lifestyles (and diversified Radio programming). With an initial focus on the classics of Roots Reggae, the program is working towards spotlight themes and genre-focus programming (say, California Reggae bands). Eventually, guest Dj&#39;s will be invited in to showcase their specialties (UK Dub, or whatnot). BIO: With KRucial Community Radio Network, founder Kyle Russell comes full circle, from being a listener who made mix tapes 30 years ago, to now putting his extensive knowledge of the genre to work reaching (and hopefully, teaching) a wider audience (than ever before), about what Reggae is, has been, and is becoming. Russell&#39;s experience as a musician (bass player) and founder of the award-winning Dub Station band, led to his backing of (literally) hundreds of artists in a long string of stage shows (including multiple tours &#38; Festival appearances). Complemented by many years providing Management, Booking, and now (more than ever) Promotion, this foray into Radio promises to be a very unique opportunity to share the latest &#38; greatest (as well as his insights about the music) with interested listeners. Inspired by Associate/Sponsors BigUp Radio &#38; AirPlayDirect, Russell saw this as his moment to put back on his headphones and share some of what he&#39;s heard over the years -&#160;as well as&#160;what he&#39;s enjoying right now. More information on his companies KRucial Reggae &#38; ReggaePR may be found at&#160;www.Reggae4i.com&#160;(or you can email him at ReggaePR@AOL.com).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Join your host Diva Nikki Z next Monday as she interviews dancehall sensation Teflon on the Nikki Z Hot 20 radio show. &#160;Teflon got his name from being one tough cookie in the dancehall arena. &#160;This is one interview you don&#39;t want to miss! &#160;Tune into BigUpRadio Dancehall Monday, January 30th and catch the show. About Teflon: Throughout decades, the parish of St Mary has been widely recognized as one of few parishes to always produced topnotch Jamaican musicians. The likes of Ninja Man, Lady Saw and Capleton are all sons and daughters of the &#8216;banana&#8217; parish and have successfully paved the way for other young talents to explore. There was little doubt amongst the public, that the trend would continue when they got a first-hand experience to listen this fiery reggae artiste name Teflon, born Shaniel Andre Watson on February 15, 1985. Though he group up in a Christian home, faith led him onto the Rastafarian path, and reggae music subsequently gave birth to one of the most-promising young act. The ever-blazing Teflon began his musical journey at the tender age of ten, when he found favor with the congo drums and shortly after it was the flute and keyboard. This helped him developed a strong connection with music and inevitable, he reaped successes in music classes and caught the admiration of his classmates.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Join your host Diva Nikki Z next Monday as she interviews reggae icon Stephen Marley on the World Caribbean Countdown. The talented son of Bob has been in the business for decades. &#160;Now in his solo career he is at the top of his game. Find out what he&#39;s working on now. &#160;Don&#39;t miss this exclusive interview with Stephen Marley! &#160;Tune into BigUpRadio Dancehall Monday, Dec 26th and catch the show. About Stephen Marley: Born in 1972, the second son of Bob Marley, Stephen was dancing and singing onstage during his father and The Wailers&#39; live shows (alongside older siblings Ziggy and Cedella) by the time he was old enough to walk. As a young boy, he stayed at home-as Ziggy and Cedella entered school-where he would shadow his father, mimic his speech and quickly fall in love with such future reggae anthems as &#34;Lively Up Yourself.&#34; At seven, he began learning guitar on a nylon-stringed acoustic. In 1979, he made his official debut when he, Ziggy, Cedella and Sharon-collectively known as The Melody Makers-cut their first single, &#34;Children Playing in the Streets,&#34; followed in 1985 by their debut LP,&#160;Play the Game Right. Over the next decade, the group would follow in their father&#39;s footsteps, racking up Grammy awards and bringing conscious songs and one-love rhythms to every corner of the globe. With his highly anticipated debut album, not only does the sound and soul of Stephen Marley come into vivid focus, but the 34 year-old artist is now inevitably ...]]></description>

About Tifa: No one believed that Latifa Brown would turn into Dancehall&#39;s Princess &#34;TIFA&#34;, one of the hardest working women in Dancehall. Showing Jamaica, and the world, Life isn&#39;t what you have, its what you make of it, and if you follow your dreams nothing is impossible. Tifa&#8217;s interest in music developed from a very young age, listening to musical legends such as Earth Wind and Fire, Patti Labelle and Aretha Franklin. Growing up with her stepfather, Sampalue, the reggae producer who assisted in the building of several music careers such as Lady Saw, gave her a deep-rooted love for Dancehall music. While attending Wolmers Preparatory, Tifa was actively involved in the School Choir, Drama Club and Wolmers Dance Troupe. As recognition for her choreography talents grew, so did her passion for singing and songwriting. In early 2005, she decided to put her music first, recording on her stepfather&#39;s record label Diamond Rush Records.
