MAXX Band, featuring a group of young talented individuals, will be launched today (Sunday) at the opening of the FoodMAXX Supermarket at the Giftland Mall.
While the new band is made up of some new faces, it also features seasoned performers and musicians like Abel Stokes, Daniel DeSouza and Eleazar Thibaud who had originally formed a smaller unit called A.C.E.D.

Nicholas Chung from Feed the Flames, Kelly Valenzuela from Venezuela, Trevaun Selman, Stanton Duff who comes from a background of musical parents, Catasha Rodrigues, Scarlet Singh, and comedian Chris Gopaul who is the reigning ‘Uncensored’ champion, will also make up the band.

The decision to join MAXX was an easy one for Abel since he sees it as a way to get people more publicly aware of his talent. Although he prefers to sing his own music, he doesn’t mind doing covers until he is ready to release his songs.
Scarlet, who is currently in medical school, and is a featured singer at the Princess Casino every weekend, doesn’t necessarily see herself singing as a career but loves the way she can express herself through this medium. She feels that this is the only thing that makes her happy.

Funnyman Chris Gopaul, who is known for his numerous stage performances, is ecstatic about the opportunity since he has been waiting since he was 10 years old to sing on a professional stage.

The band will be performing for the guests at the opening of supermarket from 5 pm and will open with a rock/retro segment and close off with the R&B and pop genres.
They have already been booked to perform on a regular basis on the Entertainment Strip at the Giftland Mall and will also be performing jazz, blues, soca and reggae segments on different nights.
