K.M.C.
(Ken Marlon Charles)
KMC is one of Trinidad's top ranking
Soca artiste and producers. Hailing from the village
of Rio Claro in Trinidad's deep south, KMC exudes a
rhythmic flair that incites frenzied eruptions from
his audience.
At the tender age of 26, KMC had sixteen (16) singles
under his belt, all of which have earned him respect
of fellow artiste. Early releases such as "King
Pon Top", "Mr. Energiser", "Cyah
Take Horn" and "Gal From Yard" on the
IP International label was co-produced by KMC, Sly Robbie
and Taxi Gang at the Mixing Lab, Kingston Jamaica.
Many would remember the first CD, KMC
burst on the scene with, the memorable "Soca Bashment"
with hits like "Kaya", "Bashment to Carnival"
and the title track "Soca Bashment" which
was the 17th recorded track and what catapulted him
on the Soca scene. This set the pace for the annual
"Party Alliance" collaboration CDs with artiste
such as Machel, Denise Belfon, Maximus Dan and Blazer.
On a serious note with all the fame
and financial stability that KMC has been blessed with
he has not forgotten the hard times. The day so strapped
with hunger he resorted to cracking open a dry coconut
in the yard of the one room place where he lived in
Laventille, putting a KLIM pan on the kerosene burner
and proceeded to use a little end of curry powder to
flavor it.
"Don't be fooled, the music business
is a difficult industry and you don't just blow-up,
there is a struggle before you make it big".
KMC
is also determined to help the younger artiste out there
to make it in this thriving industry.
