Radio personality Khadine Hylton, more popularly known as Miss Kitty, had written a salacious novel, the streets have been buzzing, and questions flying - what does Miss Kitty have to say now, and who, if anyone she is unmasking The launch of 'Good Girl Gone Bad' iis already sounding like a stellar occasion, with participation from a wide cross section of society's luminaries and celebrities, from the likes of opening prayer by Tommy Cowan, and readings from the likes of Yendi Phillipps, Oliver Samuels, Professor Donna Hope, ace disc jock Kurt Riley, and also an address from Mrs Valrie Francis from the Jamaica National Library, just to name a few. Good Girl Gone Bad will be available at all Sangster's Book Stores, all Kingston Bookshops, Bookophilia and wherever books are sold across the island. Fans can also catch Miss Kitty at any one of the over 20 islandwide signings set to begin this Saturday at Sangster's Book stores, Springs Plaza and Sovereign Centre.
She is the first to admit that when people hear the name they immediately think of her as a male artiste, and Steele, with an impish smile says she has no problem at all with that. One look at her and it is clear that Stephannie Abbygale Smith, aka Real Steele, is really all woman.
A past student of Yallahs High and Paul Bogle Vocational Institute - where she did Electrical Installation - this singjay has been steadily honing her craft for the past eight years. According to Steele, she has always had a passion for music, but felt it prudent to focus on her education first and equip herself with a skill before embarking on her musical journey.
It was in 2003 that she started singing on various sound systems in her hometown of Yallahs, St Thomas and from there she branched out into the studios of Kingston, where she was encouraged to write more lyrics. She admits that her first set of songs were "very rude", thus earning her the name Lady Steele, as she was seen an heir apparent for Lady Saw.
In 2006, Steele did her first recordings for Emerald Records, Too much War and I'm Still Gonna Love You and managed to get a break that same year. She was chosen to perform on Summer Hype at Goodyear Oval, Mischief and Star Jam.
The singjay has since made the link with various other producers, including Tenement Yard Records and Heel and Bread Productions. However, she is now signed to Heel and Bread, which, she declares is a positive move in her career.
Her most recent single on the Heel and Bread label is Let's Party, an uptempo, radio-friendly club banger which is getting modest airplay.

HBO Latin America announced that the HBO Film, The Sunset Limited will premiere in the Caribbean this Saturday (March 5).
Starring Academy Award winner Tommy Lee Jones (No Country for Old Men, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada) and Academy Award nominee Samuel L Jackson (the Iron Man series, Pulp Fiction), the film explores and debates the value of existence.
The Sunset Limited is a searing two-character drama that mixes humour and pathos while examining the relationship between strangers who are brought together by desperate circumstances. Locked in a philosophical debate, both passionately defend their personal credos and try to convert the other.
Set in a New York tenement apartment, the story focuses on two very different men - a deeply religious black ex-con (Samuel L Jackson) who thwarts the suicide attempt of an asocial white college professor (Tommy Lee Jones) who tried to throw himself in front of the Sunset Limited, a Harlem subway train. While one attempts to connect on a rational, spiritual and emotional level, the other remains steadfast in his hard-earned despair.
This is a wonderful epic story about real life and normalcy at its crusts. It's from the point of view of one of our African sisters with her life stories as the foundation. The events are real, the cross culture is a shock and the lessons learned are priceless. Jamaica gets highlighted in the novel for those who enjoy that feeling and a sense of home 'Long Run, short Catch' does take you to that special spot.
The story is about a Nigerian-American who ventures out to fine happiness on the 'other side' but only comes to find out that the grass really isn't greener on the other side. When the love bug bites it can make you blind which is exactly what
happens when she picks up her Jamaican husband from hell, marries him and starts a roller coaster of unforeseen hurt and disappointment. Immigration is one of the main issues discussed but is so relevant in our westernized society.
This novel has everything from love, romance, scandal, drug cartels and even battles within when you discover how Asama learns to deal. For many of us, our sanity is our only sense of hope yet the easiest thing to lose and how and what we chose to use as coping mechanism can be life altering.
This is a great read for all to take in and honestly, a breath of fresh air!
Yardflex review says Asama Iwuoha nailed it right on the head.
I am a spiritual being, evolving and growing every day, in every way.
I am continually evolving as a spiritual being. This evolutionary process includes trials and errors as well as joys and opportunities. Each experience I encounter, each relationship I share, each insight I receive offers me the opportunity to grow.
From the moment my life began, I have been evolving and growing. As an infant, through trial and error, I learned to crawl, walk and speak. From there, I moved on to more advanced learning experiences. As an adult, day by day, I grow in harmony with the unfoldment of Spirit in me.
It gives me great peace to know that I am a work in progress, growing and evolving to become the person I am meant to be.
Clothe yourselves with the new self, created according to the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.--Ephesians 4:24
