Shaggy & Hezron Two Places video premier today on TVJ!
Shaggy and Hezron shot a video for their collaboration Two Places, which has been getting a lot of airplay. It will be released today on TVJ! Producer of the song and same-titled riddim, Danny Champagne, says: “Both complement each other on the song. The contrast between Hezron; a reggae singer, and Shaggy, who is a great DJ makes the track that much better and the lyrics is something that people live everyday so they will identify with it.”
It was Danny Champagne who was instrumental in bringing Hezron and Shaggy together to record the song. He says he’s confident that the song is a hit and the video will only make it better: “I think the video took a while but it’s a good video. It tells the story that was designed for it and the final product is of a good quality”. Champagne also reveals he is happy with the response the song has been getting based on radio play. “We are happy with the song and it has been playing well on the radio continuously and that pushed us to do the video. I showed some people the video and they loved it and as far as I am concerned the song is already a hit and the video will only make it better”.
Singer Hezron comments about the video: “It was a good storyline and I like the way it was shot. The song has been doing really well and I believe the video can only help it to go further.” Source: Caribbean Festivals. The video for Two Places will premier on TVJ’s Intense today!
Tune in today to TVJ at 8 PM (GMT-5) to watch the video premier! TVJ’s Intense will be streamed live!

Shaggy to be honored with 2011 International Humanitarian Award
Shaggy will be honored with the 2011 International Humanitarian Award by the American Friends of Jamaica (AFJ) at their 7th Annual Peacock Soiree today! The event takes place at Jungle Island in Miami, Florida and it is hosted by Jamaican Ambassador Sue Cobb, the president and the board of directors of the AFJ. Entertainment will be provided by the Jolly Boys. Proceeds of the gala are to benefit Jamaican charities in education, health care and economic development.
The event will take place amidst the tropical elegance of Miami’s Jungle Island with cocktails, dinner and dancing well into the night. The Peacock Soiree promises to be spectacular, chic and fun attracting dignitaries, sport stars and business professionals.
Shaggy has always lived on the premise that “to whom much is given, much is required”. What began as donations of medical equipment and visits to the Bustamente Hospital For Children to distribute gifts during the holidays, paint rooms, donate beds and creation of a garden, developed into the Shaggy Make a Difference Foundation. He recruited business associates, fellow recording artists and sponsors to assist in hosting an annual Shaggy & Friends charity event in which all proceeds are donated to the pediatric hospital to help defray the cost of medical equipment.
Shaggy also sought other avenues to raise funds; he co-wrote “Shaggy Parrot“, an educational book and cd for children. He sang the voice of the main character and donated his proceeds to charity. Shaggy recorded Save a Life for the Bustamente Hospital for Children and Rise Again for the Digicel Haiti Relief Fund for earthquake victims. Shaggy has remained humble, taking his career in strides. He continues to break down barriers for those who dare to follow in his footsteps.
Jamaican ambassador Sue Cobb, AFJ’s Chairperson comments, “Shaggy is the essence of the charitable spirit we celebrate in our continued support of the Jamaican society and its people. The Peacock Soiree is a celebration of this spirit for all to enjoy while raising funds for good causes”.
