In an awesome live television interview on Thursday October 27, 2011, promising Reggae solo artist Trillo, boldly demonstrated his signature Barb Wire dance on RHRTV1 in Miami. Obvious to his management team were signs of growth and maturity in him as an artiste, from the way in which he held his composure throughout the entire interview and handled the questions directed to him by host David Mention. “It became quite evident from that interview that he (Trillo) has grasp much of the grooming he has gotten from Mr. Mack” said a proud (Mommy-ger) Mother and Manager, Paulette GoPaul a name given to her by an even prouder son, Trillo. Further response to questions on his upbringing and versatility, Trillo explained that he was brought up as a well rounded child which attributed to his ability to do a little bit of everything and went on to show his talent during the live performance segment of the interview, singing his now popular High Grade Alone single. In delivering the song, Trillo sang accapella and created back up sound effects with his own human beat box.
What made his interview intense and even more interesting was his response to questions regarding how he felt about popular Jamaican Dancehall Icon Vybz Kartel; accused of murder and/or conspiracy to murder and imprisoned in Jamaica. Trillo made it absolutely clear that he is not judgemental and refused to be but instead, “liked his (Vybz Kartel’s) songs and the way he sings.”
He went on to pay patronage to his management team and people who assisted him to this point in his career in response to another question that was asked of him relating to his getting some meaningful exposure and handling the attention that comes with it at this time. Trillo obviously humbled by the question stated that, “he will never forget where he is coming from” then thanked his ‘mommy-ger'(mother and manager) who he felt has put together an efficient team of people to work for him highlighting team players, Noel McKinson of PowerMack Promotion, Sophia McKay of New Image Promotion, Stampede Lammie of Stampede Street Entertainment, Ms. Claudette Kempt, Manager for International Reggae/Dancehall artiste Capleton and the David House Family, the IRAWMA International Female DJ/Rapper 2011 Macka Diamond (whom he has a single with), Imperial Bash the Producer of his It’s Summertime single, Mr. Dean Fraser reknown Saxaphonist in Jamaica and the Reggae industry worldwide and DJ MC Shawn who officially introduced him to the New York/New Jersey audience, for their individual attention and effort.
The interview lasted for about an hour and a half and ended on a positive note when Trillo who was asked if he had anything he would like to share with other upcoming artistes said, “keep focused, believe in what you do, understand and learn all you can about Entertainment Laws and your rights as artistes.” Watch interview here
