Ms Triniti ready for dancehall

By Kavelle Anglin-Christie, Staff Reporter



Entertainer Ms Triniti. - Ian Allen

Ms. Triniti says she is ready to take dancehall by the horns with her song Bongce Along.

Success isn't alien to this newcomer. She already has two albums out in Japan, and both were among the top 40 albums on the charts.

STAR: What do you call your music?

Miss Triniti: "I call it 'ragga hop'. It's a mixture of dancehall, reggae, R&B and hip hop. Everybody was always like, 'What is this?' So I just named it."

Have you done any collaborations with anyone as yet?

"I have gone on tour with Sean Paul, but in terms of doing a song it depends on if we get the right track. I wanted to work with Cham as well, and I did that with Love It Like That; it's on his album. I would also like to work with Machel Mantano. He's known some of my stuff and says he'd like to work with me ... I also did a California tour with Jah Rule and I opened for D12 once. Another thing is that a few of my songs have been in movie soundtracks. There is Dangerous, that was in the Like Mike movie, in Two for the Money and Zoom I did the song Big Ups."

Do you want to collaborate with any female entertainers?

"I really want to do some work with some females and have sort of a girl flex. I like Tanya Stephens, Sasha, Tami Chynn and so many others."

What were you doing before you ventured into music?

"It's been approximately four years, before that I had music on the back burner. I was in England up to age 18. I was a professional tennis player from 16-18 years old, and I got a tennis scholarship to go to California, and I got a degree in physiotherapy and when I finished school I moved to LA."

How have Jamaicans responded to your music?

"For the most part, it's pretty much a good response from people."

Who are some of your musical inspirations?

"I admire a lot of artistes like Bob Marley, Supercat, Sean Paul and as far as R&B goes, there is Stevie Wonder, Mary J. Blige, Tupac, Common, and I could go on and on."

Where do you see your career in five years?

"Hopefully, I would have planted the seeds to grow into something bigger and more worldwide, instead of just Japan. I also want to explore the big screen as well. Living in LA, people are always asking me about acting, so I would like to try that."
