Rapper Eve is the latest international star confirmed to perform at the Excellence in Music and Entertainment (EME) Awards, set for March 12 at Devon House in Kingston. She joins fellow hi-hopper Trina and Jamerican comedian Rayzor for the annual event.

After weeks of backing and forthing between both camps, I am happy to report that I have confirmation that Eve will attend this year's EME Awards in Jamaica," an elated founder and chairman Richard 'Richie B' Burgess disclosed.

Eve, who in 2007 collaborated with Sean Paul on the reggae-tinged single Give It To You -- came knocking on reggae's door again in 2010,when she recorded another successful collaboration with Dancehall Diva Lady Saw - He's at My House, from Saw's album My Way.

The two female acts are expected to up the ante with their performance at the EME Awards in Kingston. It is the very first time they will perform their collaboration live and Saw can't wait. "I feel extremely excited about performing with Eve. I can't wait to see her. We have been communicating a lot on BB in recent weeks. We have been good friends for a while now.

Press Release - Trina for EME Awards 2011 PDF Print E-mail

Monday, 07 February 2011 00:00


Rapper Trina will be the guest of honour at Jamaica's Excellence in Music and Entertainment Awards in March (11) for her work with local stars including Sean Kingston and Lady Saw.


The seventh annual staging of the Excellence in Music and Entertainment (EME) Awards is set to take place onMarch 12. Founder and chairman Richard 'Richie B' Burgess, notes that due to the event's growth as well as the support it has received from the local music and entertainment industry, it will be moving to the East Lawns of the historical Devon House in Kingston. Burgess, has declared that he and his team will deliver a "mind blowing experience" this year. Indeed, the EMEs have grown into a big deal, with over 90% of its awardees generally in attendance and a number of top local stars jockeying for performance slots. The red carpet entry is the most spectacular of its kind in the region, adding credence to the fact that the EMEs are often referred to as the 'Jamaican Grammys.' Last year, the event rose to new heights with coverage by North America's BET Networks. Their coverage posted at their website received thousands of hits. Multiple Grammy award-winning artiste India.Arie was in attendance both as a performer and as The International Friend of Reggae Honouree.This year's staging will be a night filled with glitz and glamour in addition to a lot of international attention. The 2011 International Friend of Reggae Honouree will be popular American rapper, songwriter, model and businesswoman, Trina. On her latest album, Amazin', she collaborated with Jamaica's very own Lady Saw and Trinidadian-American sensation, Nicki Minaj, on a song titled, Dang A Lang. The Icons Honourees for this year have not yet been named but veterans honoured in this category before include the likes of the late Sonia Pottinger, King Jammys, Freddie McGregor, Toots Hibbert and Denroy Morgan. Several new categories will be added to the proceedings this year, including Artiste of the Decade (2001 to 2010) for both males and females. Some local and overseas celebrities will be on duty to present premier awards and many others will be showing their support. The EMEs have previously received endorsements from bigwigs such as Akon, John Legend, Missy Elliot, Jasmin Sullivan and Estelle. Read more:

US king of comedy to host the 7th annual EME Awards PDF Print E-mail
Written by Richard Burgess   
Monday, 07 February 2011 00:00

 

US based comedian Raymond 'Rayzor' Davis, whose rise from struggling local comic in the 1990s to national touring act with an HBO appearance will co-host the 7th annual Excellence in Music and Entertainment (EME) Awards, event founder Richard 'Richie B' Burgess said in a recent statement. The awards ceremony will be held on Saturday, March 12 at The East Lawn of the historical Devon House site, Hope Road, Kingston.

Razor joins rapper Trina - who was previously announced as an "International Friend of Reggae" honoree - as the second international superstars slated to perform at the EME's this year. An enthusiastic-sounding Burgess said, "Rayzor's popularity is very well known and documented. The EME's got lucky, in that an appearance that he had alongside Cedric The Entertainer was rescheduled. We are extremely happy that this top class comedian, who has such strong Jamaican connection and international appeal will join us this year...People are gonna be in stitches!" Davis, who was born in Brooklyn N.Y., said "I am very happy and honored to be asked to host Jamaica's most prestigious music award show." Razor's first attempt at a career as a comedian was at an audition for "In Living Color," an American television series which originally ran on the Fox Network in the USA from April 15, 1990 to May 19, 1994. "My friends and family got on me," he recalls. "They said, 'You don't try out, we don't want to hear no more jokes from you. That's it." He didn't get the callback he was hoping for but the audition changed the course of his life forever. After years of honing his craft at Studio 183 in Carol City, he took his act on the road in June 2005 with a knockout five-minute set on the HBO stand up series "P Diddy Presents the Bad Boys of Comedy." He has since toured nationally and have appeared in music videos for international superstars like Lil Jon and the East Side Boyz, Trina, Ludacris and Fat Joe. Last month, he headlined the Palm Beach Improv and can be found at poetry nights at South Florida venues such as Jade in Miami Beach and the Kola Nut Cafe in North Miami Beach. His new CD, "Sh.. on Digital" was recently released to rave reviews. He is also set to star in the upcoming independent film "Life of the Party," a mockumentary set in South Beach. The EME Awards in Jamaica will be another big feather in his cap and he is all too excited to make a positive impact. "I know that if my mother were still here, she would be overjoyed that her son was offered an opportunity to host a major event in Jamaica. I relishes the opportinity to do this show as I have never done anything of this magnitude in Jamaica before. I have done a few private performances within the hotel circuit but nothing as grand as the EME's!" he said. The 2011 Excellence in Music and Entertainment (EME) Awards will again recognize the top performers within the Jamaican Recording Industry. Awards will be handed out in approximately 30 categories including DJ of the Year, Best New Artiste, Song of the Year, Vocalist of the year and Producer of the year among others. Winners will be determined based on their performance on The Weekly Jamaica Music Countdown (Charts), votes via texts and votes at the website.
