Fast-rising singjay Tydal is gearing up for a successful 2013, given the enthusiastic response to his radio hit, 'Tell Dem Fi Farm', a stern warning to the youths of Jamaica to approach agriculture as a bonafide career choice.

"The work I put in during 2012 was really good for me. I did a lot of work and put out a lot of songs. That really helped me to connect with music fans all over the world. People are responding to my new Tell Dem Fi Farm song, especially people from rural Jamaica.

"Farming is the lifeblood of a nation, only a nation that can adequately feed itself and is self-sufficient can take care of its citizens," Tydal said.

Tydal was one of the featured artistes on this year's staging of Tony Rebel's prestigious Rebel Salute Festival at Richmond Estate in St Ann.

The talented singjay has seen his stocks rise since he inked a recording and management contract with Florida-based businessman Jyorken Kennedy's Master One Productions more than a year ago.

Tydal said signing with the company has greatly improved his career. "Since I signed with Master One Productions, I have learned a lot, musically, and otherwise. It's really good to have a strong team to work with as an artiste," Tydal said.

Pushing full speed ahead with his career, Tydal recently dropped the video for Tell Dem Fi Farm.

Since its release, the video has been receiving strong rotation locally on CVM and abroad. It is also getting a lot of hits on YouTube.

Tydal is also getting ready to drop a brand new single, Inna Mi Arms, on the 'Cool Shade' rhythm.
