LOCAL sensation Jumo Primo has joined forces with another local heavyweight, Drew Thoven to produce a new single, titled “Drop It”. Thoven, 21, is a music producer and multi-instrumentalist who takes elements from his surroundings to create sounds that are unique.
According to the pair, “Drop it” is set to be aired on five major radio stations in Trinidad and Tobago, and will be released there in early February, 2016.
In order to facilitate this venture, they have since held a fundraising Bar-B-Que, the proceeds of which will be used to help with travel and other ancillary expenses.
He told this newspaper that they have also produced two songs ‘Like Talk” which is Trinidadian and a re-mix with Rikki Jai.
For next year, Primo said he is hoping to have a 10-album CD for Carnival and our local Mashramani. He has visited New York and Trinidad and Tobago in an effort to promote his music farther afield.
**The local artiste pointed out that he is doing some recordings to get ready for 2016 to be able to release new music because in T&T they release new songs as early as November and get into second gear in December.

Primo explained that in T&T new songs are aired on the radio stations then go into full rotation for Carnival.

Being the three-time Soca Monarch, one-time Groovy Soca Monarch and 1-time Road March King is quite an achievement, but his aim is to have his music played in T&T and eventually compete on the international market.

Primo linked up with Thoven four months ago, and operating out of Kross Colors Studios, they produced “Drop It” which has since been released in New York.

Primo told this newspaper that they will be launching their new song, “Road to Carnival 2016”, which is expected to be released in Trinidad and Tobago.

He is also expected to produce two more songs, “Harder” and “Curfew” by early December.

Primo, known as “Rubber Waist”, a nickname he earned for his acrobatic dance movements, is also working on a re-mix song titled “Like Talk” with Ronnie Mackintosh to also produce a newer song “Ain’t”.
