Making their professional debut in 2000, 3Suns, then known as Treason, was considered 'the new definition of soca'. Now, five years on, the trio, Ace, Menace and Crym, are that and much more. They are a combination of various music styles fused together, making a sound that is uniquely 3Suns.
Managed and produced by top producer Shoroc (Ken Holder) and his wife Rachel, the band splashed onto the scene with On de Promenade (Dah Ent Nuttin) in 2000. Then, in 2001, they proved that they were no ‘one hit wonder,’ with Kamasutra (Chutney-influenced) and War Amongst the Stars.
2002 opened up 3Suns to a whole new world, with the release of their first album, Insanely Gifted. The album includes some of their previous hits, such as Wah Is Dah Won and Dah Is Nuttin. In 2003 their second album, Word on the Street, which contains hits like Carnival Darling, War Contract, By the Bar, Muddy Angels and Sincerely Boo, was chosen by the executives of VP Records for distribution. The success of We Eh Leaving, Living in the World, and Hot Girls, from their third album Definitely, cemented their place in the T&T music scene.
With their motto, 'Keep it real', the group is currently working on their fourth, as yet un-named, album, which is set to be released later in the year. It promises to showcase their maturity and to bring them across into the mainstream music industry. Collaborations can be expected with both Jamaican and American artists.
Producer Shoroc is quoted as saying that the upcoming album, "Takes all of 3Suns’ strengths from previous albums, and comments from their loyal fans, and places 3Suns on a level that is totally original and compatible with the universal expectations and standards."
Menace (Sherwin Jeremiah) is known for his aggressive and bold approach to his music, which creates a rough edge to a smooth package. He is the youngest member of this Sangre Grande band, and his signature call, "I'm a bad boy," says it all.
Crym - meaning crazy rhymer - (Olufemi Williams) adds a crazy vibe to the troublesome trio. He is the group's element of spontaneity, making it continuously wacky.
Ace (Damian Oliverie), the oldest band member, takes this business of group togetherness very seriously. He is known as the charmer: laid-back and and easy flowing; "Ace is always in place," they say.
Influences on the band include Machel Montano, Cro Cro, Bounty Killer and Busta Rhymes.
3Suns will be preforming at the SE One Club on Sunday 29 May 2005. click for more details |
