Responsible for the “Let Me Love You Soca Remix", featuring Mario and Screechy Dan on the “Artical One Strikes Again,” sophomore compilation and “Watchin’ Me,” with Benjai and Gailann, Artical One Productions is fast becoming the ones to watch. Artical One Productions is a thriving young Brooklyn based music Company, comprised of extremely talented singers, songwriters, & musician. Though young, Artical One is no stranger to the music industry, gaining recognition from industry leaders at Vibe Magazine, MTV, and Sirius Satellite radio to name a few. Artical One made history with their debut album “Couldn’t Believe” in 2003, becoming the first “Soca” artists to perform live on satellite radio with Pat McKay. Artical One is at it again with their third cd compilation entitled, “The Beginning” and this time they plan to do it bigger and better.

“The Beginning” is due to release April 7th, but can be heard on the Internet and across the airwaves in the states, abroad and throughout the Caribbean. Leading off with several Carib-mixes of some of the top artists like Mary J. Blige, Chris Brown, Ne-Yo, R. Kelly, 50 Cent and a host of others, Artical One is making the world listen and preparing them for what is about to come next, “The Beginning.” As usual, Artical One is dropping it like no one has dropped it before, setting records. The new mix cd is not your ordinary mix cd. This will be the first ever double- mix cd release. That’s two cds, one featuring the Soca-Fusion sound that has become the A One trademark and the other with pure reggae vibes. Also, unlike ordinary mix cds, “The Beginning” features all originally composed and arranged music, showcasing Artical One Artists like, Screechy Dan, Terry Felicia, Bandy Leggz and Rusty Mac. You can check out some of Artical One’s other projects at www.cdbaby.com/articalone, www.articalone.com, on iTunes or most major online music vendors.

“I want to do for Soca music, what Def Jam has done for Hip Hop. Hip Hop started as the black sheep in the music business and is now fully mainstream and a part of contemporary pop culture,” says Artical One President, Nixon Huggins. Like the A One slogan says, Artical One Productions is indeed “Busting Through The Industry.”
