…::::On

the Set of the "It's

Time" Video::::…

The cameras were rolling on the set of VC's

video shoot for the single "It's Time" on Renaissance Disco's Legal

Rhythm on Saturday, March 29, 2008. The video covered various locations

in Kingston

including

Barbican, Sandy Park and Liguanea, which saw crowds of people gathered

to give

their support.

13th Tribe Productions,

a fast rising

production house responsible for Xinyu's "Man" and Natural Black's

soon to be released "Nine to Five," was in charge and shooting began

at the crack of dawn. Although midday showers threatened to bring

activities to

an early end, the rain eventually subsided and the director gave the

word for

shooting to resume. VC's smooth vocals soon resonated once more.

In the capable hands of

directors, David

Rodgers and Nathan Cowan, the crew went through the shots effortlessly

backed

by talented and enthusiastic members of neighbouring communities who

featured

in most of the starring roles delivering impressive performances.

No flashy hooplas but

with an eye opening

concept that's sure to provide the public with food for thought, "It's

Time" promises to be one of the breakthrough videos of 2008. In fact,

don't be surprised if it even tickles a funny bone or two.

Now in the final editing

stages, "It's

Time" is slated to be released in another two (2) weeks. Check out

the behind the scenes pictures available here at VC's

MySpace Page (http://www.myspace.com/reggaevc) in the

interim and you can also listen to the track here on the page. Stay

tuned to find out more.

…::::In

the Words of

VC::::…

Remaining

optimistic about the music business, VC holds

Taurus Riley in  high regard. VC says he is happy to know that

well produced

songs with  good content from singers still have a

place in our reggae market.

VC also

feels that underground and on-air disc

jockeys should be more aware when

it comes on to playing music that is being doled out to listeners,

especially the

youths. 

As for

his colleagues, VC says that reggae artists have so

much to say and as such they should come up with tasteful ways to

deliver their messages.

VC is a

firm believer that artists should not sell their

listeners short. He affirms that listeners should be exposed

to the best kind

of music. He adds that artists need to understand the

wielding power they have and

feels that the sooner they figure out whether they are

artists or gangsters,  the

better it will be for our music.

BIOGRAPHY:



VC

blasted onto the reggae scene in 2000 with his debut

single "By His

Deeds." The song was an

instant success and the name “VC” soon

became synonymous with a type of music dating

back to the days of Bob  Marley, Peter Tosh and Jacob Miller

with echoes of VC's

contemporary  roots and eclectic influences.  

Speaking

of roots, VC, born Valton Craigie, was born in England

to

Jamaican parents. He moved to Jamaica

at age 10 and spent years dabbling in the music industry in

both the United States

and Jamaica

before finding his niche.

He always knew he wanted to be in the music business and

worked

as a deejay

with “Legacy” sound system in the 1980s

and later at

the nightclub, “Mirage.” He was a sound engineer by

profession and produced

other artistes before eventually building up the courage to

stand

on the other

side of the microphone.

Needless

to say, VC has never looked back. The success of

his hit single  propelled him to perform locally on shows such

as Air Jamaica Jazz

&  Blues, Reggae Sumfest, Rebel Salute,

Bob Marley Memorial and Peter  Tosh Memorial concert. The

demand for him overseas has lead to tours in  England,

New York and Canada.

Since

then VC took a hiatus to be with his newborn son and family. Still

honing his

craft over the years he continues to write, record and perform.

He has also been

busy working in the studio with such renowned musicians as Dean Frasier, Rupert Bent

Jnr. and Paul

Kasstik recording

over 20 new tracks towards his upcoming album, including a

duet with International

Irish artist, Diedra

Kellan.

VC is now back

in full force with recently released hit singles

“Judgment

Day,” “Rough Neck”

and “Sweet

Child of Mine (Joshua).” Fans

can also  look out for soon to be released projects

with Renaissance Disco

and tracks on Dig

Dis, Caspa and Big

Tings

labels.

VC's

conscious lyrics continue to give social commentary

complimented by a backdrop of rich instrumentals and

hard-driving beats. With his

music  reaching reggae lovers worldwide VC sees his role as

creating music that

 inspires and touches people's hearts.
