    Congratulations Jeremiah. It seems just like yesterday, I taught you in Sunday School. You always liked a stage. You would want to participate in SS recitals without having a rehearsal. That’s a confident and talented child.

    I believe we have enough talent in Bermuda to showcase several top Reggae,Dance,Acting,Jazz, and Pop/R&B artist
    to the WORLD.- several have already done well overseas – such as Coli Buds.

    For a tiny place, we have AWESOME talent! In fact, we have AWESOME talent for anywhere!! CONGRATULATIONS, Lil Quan and Coshaun! That’s putting us on the map!!

    One day, when we come to an appreciation of who we are, and how blessed and special we are, we will stop complaining and looking for the negative in every thing. I pray that day not delay.

  16. Butterfield says:

    Well done guys, you are on your way to great things. I hope that your manager has your best interest at heart because you are going places, far to often managers are only in for the ride for them selves so make sure you receive all that is owed to you. Be blessed the sky is the limited you can do and become any thing your hearts desire.
