Eye Unit: Happy Birthday Jadee!

Somewhere along the long passage from the Caribbrean to the Diaspora, young people have got the idea that real soca can only be about sex, rum and carnival.  Well children...YOU'RE WRONG.  Soca is not the message, but the MEDIUM. Through it there is freedom to express any number of emotions, experiences and inspirations.

The gospel community in Trinidad would know one such artiste who is doing his part to utilize soca and other genres to reach his generation with the message of Christ.  Remember songs like "Baptize", and "Not In Dat"? The man's name is Jadee, a vocalist with the gospel band "Alter Call".  He's celebrating his birthday today.  That being said, here's my chance to say thanks to Jadee for spreading love and life through his music.

Take a look at the latest video from Jadee called "Keep On Pressing", produced by Precision Productions.



On the road of life, it's not easy to walk the same path in a different way.  So Jadee...today, I join you in thanking God for another year of His grace and mercy.  I wish you ongoing success as you stay faithful to your calling!  Happy Birthday!

 Love and soca,

Nurse Karen
