It promises to be a different, endearing and well received music video. I started listening to my Dad’s records at a young age. He had everything from Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath to Bob Marley & Marvin Gaye. I then went on to Jungle Drum and Bass and I think that had the biggest influence on my passion to make music. When did you realise a career in music was what you wanted in life? I think I was 15. After being in bands with mates from school playing guitar and drums, it was when I discovered electronic music and how new and alien it was to me. It almost made my passion stronger. Music was the main thing from then onwards. https://www.facebook.com/bennypagemusic http://soundcloud.com/bennypagemusic https://twitter.com/bennypagemusic http://instagram.com/bennypagemusic This is Benny's second single (following Hot Body Gal ft. Richie Loop a hit in Jamaica and still continuing to buzz) since developing the new sound from his time spent in Jamaica late last year. He voiced a range of artists on the island with a goal to achieve a more authentic and rootsy sound, going through the motions of a more traditional songwriting process with the vocalists than is standard in the UK. Champion Sound features vocals from heavyweight Dancehall artist, Assassin, who was featured on Kanye West's last album "Yeezus", on the track "I'm in it". The 140bpm Jungleinfused Bass track with a vibrant horn section has all the makings of a Summer anthem. The campaign will include national and regional radio plugging, and both online and print press PR. The music video is being shot between Kingston Jamaica and London involving a young bubbly child going about his daily business as an adult on a sunny day in the capital (working out with mates, driving, getting ice cream with his girlfriend, going to the studio).
