New date for Diamond Rush return showcase to be
The much anticipated relaunch of the Diamond Rush Label which was slated to be held at the Asylum Nightclub on Thursday, November 1 did not materialize, but Angella 'Munchie Lue' Phillips has assured Yardflex that it will definitely happen.
"We wanted everything to be right and with the rain and other factors...we decided it would be best to postpone it until a later date," 'Munchie Lue' explained.
"I also want to apologize to Asylum and Hitz FM, our two main sponsors, for the relaunch...but it will be worth the wait," she stressed.
Currently the label has a talented roster of new artistes to unleash and all this is being coordinated by Munchie Lue who will be looking to launch out in the recording arena too.
Having been around her brother Garfield 'Sampalue' Phillips in the early days of Diamond Rush, plus with her father Philprat still producing out of England, she developed a passion for singing.
Still, with an over-protective brother like Sampalue and helping to manage the day-to-day activities of the label, Munchie Lue had to put that desire on hold.
"In those days women hanging out at the studio was kinda frowned upon...and Sampalue was protective of me, so I concentrated on helping him to run the company," she informed.
With the record company looking to make its mark again in the biz, Munchie Lue won't be putting her singing career in the background this time.
She recently recorded "Where Is The Justice" and if the sneak peak is anything to go by then this song will be going places!
With a certificate in public relations and now a student of University of the West Indies School of Continuing Education focusing on counseling, this singer/social worker has her hands full.
With a smile she said, "I have several passions in my life...and if something has to give then you know it won't be music."
In between working as a counselor, Munchie Lue is overseeing the day-to-day stuff at Diamond Rush and in between that fitting in studio time.
With "Where Is The Justice" set to be released by the end of this month, Angella is now working on two more singles, "Dancehall Night" and "If You Know".
Munchie Lue will also be one of the featured performers on the rescheduled Diamond Rush showcase...the date which she promised will be announced soon.
