Deejay Wayne Marshall is on a high with the premiere of his My Heart video on MTV Base in Africa.MTV Base is a 24-hour music and general entertainment channel from MTV Networks International with locations all around the world.
When THE STAR spoke to Marshall yesterday he explained, "the video was added to MTV Base in Africa, they are using it as a promotion for this reggae chart which they just started to kinda advertise the chart. This is really hype and magical and it happened in such a short space of time."
The video was premiered almost two weeks ago and was directed by film maker Storm Saulter and features singjay Mavado. The video premiered on MTV Base yesterday and Marshall is excited about the potential for the song explaining that the station gets over 7 millions views. Coming on the heels of the MTV premiere will be another remix of the song done by R&B singer Estelle.
track is moving
Marshall said, "Estelle is featured on the remix, she sent her tracks already and it's just crazy how this track is moving. Estelle and I are friends on twitter and I sent her the track and she heard it without seeing the video as yet and said this is gonna be a smash song. When I sent her the video, she said she has to get on this and sent her part. We're currently mixing it now and hopefully it should be out by next week."
In the song Marshall sings about a girl who has done him wrong and messes with his heart. The song was done almost two months ago and produced by Baby G and was later remixed by Mavado. In the Estelle remix she plays the part of his sister who is supporting him and 'cussing' the girl who has messed with Marshall. "It's crazy how she wrote it, it's something I would have never thought to write," he added.
The song was also on 'Jam Hot Record of the Week' on BBC's 1 Xtra and is getting constant rotation locally with a number of unofficial remixes taking place from persons out of Jamaica. For Marshall, he admits that he has been knocking on the door of cross over success for years and feels that this is his time to make it big.
He said, "this is my time to represent Jamaica to that next level, I just need to get that run. Right now, I'm doing this for my son, Giomar, he's my inspiration. I want him to look up to me and for people to tell him his father was a great artiste."
The deejay has a number of songs coming out soon for the likes of Don Corleon, Baby G and Stephen McGregor as he tells fans to expect the unexpected as he explores new genres and broadens this horizons. He also has a collaboration with Damian Marley and Tarrus Riley to be released later this year.
