Dancehall Artiste - Vegas Heads Home on Monday
Following a very successful stint in Trinidad performing alongside Machel Montana at the much anticipated and very exciting carnival Vegas will be heading back to Jamaica on Monday.
According to the 'Heads High' singer, "Carnival in Trinidad is like a national holiday. For two weeks on every corner there is a party and every party is well attended this time of year the only thing Trini people seems to be interested in is their soca and people travel from all over the world to be apart of this fiesta."
It was an experience for Vegas working alongside Machel who is regarded as the king of carnival there.
The people went on real bad. It got even crazier when Machel called on Vegas to perform a song he produced for him called 'Genie Wine'.
In fact the girls started performing the song even before Vegas opened his mouth!
Machel and Vegas' combination song 'Dance With You' - a mix of soca reggae enjoyed much love from the carnival revelers. But Vegas is not ruling out going 100% soca as he hinted that "in the future you can expect more of this kinda music and maybe next carnival Machel and I might take it up a notch to 100% soca."
As the Carnival activity in Trinidad winds down its back to studio running and putting in the finishing touches on his album which is expected to drop sometime in April.
Vegas returns to Jamaican on Monday his head filled with plans on his new album. His fans might be in for a major surprise where the album is concerned. According to Vegas "it might be a double CD or two album at the same time - one roots and one dance hall.
Because I still have a strong dance hall fan base so I can't just turn 360 degrees in one spin."
