"Dat Body Gyal" was just a luscious taste of ABM's talent however. His
EP release on December 6, 2011, "Don't Hate Congratulate," on Platinum
Trini Entertainment/Bungalo/Universal Music Group Distribution, proves
that this island man is no one-hit wonder. "Don't Hate Congratulate"
deliberately whirls and winds a hypnotic beat over spitfire lyrics,
once again eliciting ABM's apt ability to sway and swirl all bodies in
close proximity.
Four tracks strong, "Don't Hate Congratulate" mixes the enchantment of
the islands with ABM's charismatic delivery, transporting music lovers
with sounds that simultaneously titillate the ears, hips and feet.
Titled for all the haters, ABM quotes 50 Cent when he states about the
project, "This is God's plan homie, this ain't mine."
A native Trinidadian, ABM has the groove of the islands flowing
through his veins. A detour to the states to attend Louisiana's
Grambling State University couldn't detract him from what was
inevitable however. The engineer major couldn't ignore the melodies
swirling in his soul. He relocated to the West Coast after graduation
to pursue his passion for all things music.
A natural born leader, he soon established his own label, Platinum
Trini Entertainment, alongside his partner and music artist, Tara.
Ignoring again the inevitable, ABM went about establishing a roster of
musical acts, not heeding the urge to put himself out there first.
After a series of disappointments with budding artists, AMB finally
realized that he was the act he was looking for. He regrouped and
redirected his energy, taking the necessary steps to perfect his
talent, honing and nurturing his skills as a writer, producer, rapper
and singer.
CEO, artist and entrepreneur, ABM continues to foster the groove of
his beloved island home. In addition to touring and club performances,
he has launched his own internet radio station, Platinum Trini Hot 97
(http://www.live365.com/index.live), featuring a live morning show
Mondays through Fridays from 9:00 am to 11:00 am Pacific Time, hosted
by DJ UnieQ. He is also fervently working to bring the Trinidad
Carnival to Hollywood, CA. His debut CD release "Overdue" on Platinum
Trini Entertainment, with worldwide, digital and physical distribution
in the U.S. and Canada on Bungalo/Universal Music Group Distribution,
will drop early 2012 and a college campus tour is also in the works.
ABM and Platinum Trini Entertainment have also teamed up with the
Caribbean entertainment group, Poundaz International to spearhead the
"I AM SOCA" project, set for release January 17, 2012 on Platinum
Trini Entertainment/Bungalo/Universal Music Distribution. "I AM SOCA"
is a compilation album comprised of some of the hottest Soca grooves,
collaborations and jams and was created to elevate the sweet sounding
essence of the Caribbean's beloved SOCA music and its artists on a
more international platform. "I AM SOCA" will be diversified with the
sounds and styles of Soca music from around the Caribbean, including
Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, the Virgin
Islands, Jamaica, Barbados and of course Trinidad and Tobago.
