With his focus on perfection and substance rather than hype, Victor knows for certain that music is a vehicle for positive messages. "Reggae is very big in Nigeria. There are over 180 million people living in Nigeria, and when people are in distress and sufferation, reggae is a music we use as a force to release the stress. It's the weapon against the system that oppresses the people", Victor explained.

. BITS AND PIECES

Junior Reid's One Blood has been updated by rapper The Game. The track is titled It's Okay (One Blood) and is the first release of The Game's forthcoming major label sophomore album.

It's interesting to note that one of the contestants in this year's Digicel Rising Stars competition made a big blunder when she told the studio audience that she will be performing Celine Dion's The Power Of Love. A few days later a release came out in the press with the same error. Just to set the record straight, The Power of Love doesn't belong to Celine Dion. Her cover version was a big hit on the charts in 1994.

However, nine years earlier, in 1985, the song was a huge global smash for Jennifer Rush, who wrote the song about her boyfriend Steven. The song was number one for 5 weeks on the UK singles chart and it became the biggest-selling single for a female artiste in the UK at the time. On the US charts, Jennifer's version only peaked at number 57. A version by Air Supply peaked at number 68 in 1985. Laura Branigan took her version of the Power of Love to number 26 in 1987. So, those youngsters who are covering songs made popular by other artistes, you better know your musical history before you make embarrassing statements.
