DOMINICAN reggae artiste Aima Moses has signed with Jamaican production company Donsome Records.

He is currently working on an album for the label which has offices in Kingston and New York City.

Some of Aima’s recent singles include One in a Million and Can’t Stay.

“I am a musical person and I love all genres of music. Growing up in a poor family, I got introduced to a lot of different sounds through my parents,” Aima explained.

Born Amaziah Moses, he got the name Aima while he was a child.

He made his professional recording debut in 2005 with the single Fire Fire. That same year he released his debut album No Barriers.

Some his best known songs are I Smoke, Lady You, Come Closer, Can’t Stay, All the Same, My Love, No place and Keep it Real.

Tidal makes waves

JA Productions scored big last year with its Over Proof rhythm. Its latest effort is the Blessings which features a number of acts including Tidal, who has been making waves with his latest song, Wicked Woman.

The track was produced by Justus Harris and Patrick ‘Roach’ Samuels.

Wicked Woman has picked up steam on radio in recent weeks. Tidal says he is upbeat about the progress of his career.

“Everything looks bright and the focus is on music. I am putting in a lot of hard work to see what comes after that,” he said.

According to Tidal, the story behind Wicked Woman is a common one.

“It’s about a relationship that I am involved in but there is another woman on the side who is creating mischief and cannot accept the fact that it’s a one-night thing,” he said. “She doesn’t want me to have a good life so she tries all that she can to wreck my life.”

Wicked Woman is the follow-up to Tidal’s Ball Ground and Give it to Me Baby which featured Gyptian.

Among his upcoming performances are the Little Ochie Seafood Carnival in St Elizabeth and Capleton’s annual St Mary Me Come From show.

I Fear No Evil by T-Mar is also on the Street Cleaner.

T-Mar’s previous productions also showcased upcoming artistes like Charley Blacks and Little Hero.

“My whole life is about music now, making beats, recording my songs, performing and producing for other artistes,” he said recently.
