The
website is unquestionably the most comprehensive Caribbean
based site on the web, featuring entertainment news, artist
profiles, fact files, historical records, worldwide Carnival
info and schedules, event and festival photos, desktop
themes, DJ mixes, music videos, lyrics and not to mention,
the largest Soca/Calypso play list on the net.
Many
websites have since shadowed the internet guru and attempted
to emulate its structure and content. Jef was asked to
comment on this and said, “I look at it as the highest
form of flattery, but the public knows who did it first
and will always look to the leader. Followers will always
follow.” Toronto-Lime.com also introduced an industry
first in 2002 when it launched its mobile version (www.toronto-lime.com/mobile),
which allows wireless users around the world to access
the website via cell phone to get updated 'on the fly'.
When asked what inspired the development, Jef said laughingly,
“The demand was present and the technology was available,
so why not. Now party-goers can check event info while
en-route to the club-district and won’t have to
stop off at a friend’s house to use a PC to get
info when they’re already late getting to the dance”.
The mobile site also offers free downloads of ‘Soca/Carnival’
images as well as ‘Soca Ringtones’ to customize
your cell phone.
Also
an accomplished designer, Jef has also developed websites
for leading Caribbean organizations and businesses, including
www.Callaloo.NET,
www.GhettoFlex.com,
www.DeniseBelfon.NET,
www.EvaSimon.com,
www.DeMusicLibrary.com
and www.Wheels-Direct.com.
More of his work is available at www.JefGrafix.com.
The
repertoire doesn’t end there; Jef is also the co-founder
of North-America’s newest Caribbean talent agency
www.SocaBookings.com
which offers promoters around the world a means of contacting
and booking Caribbean artists and international DJ’s
for concerts and festivals. The roster of stars include
Road March Queen ‘Patrice Roberts’, acclaimed
songwriter/performer ‘Kernel Roberts’, Billboard
Chart topper ‘KMC’ and his band ‘Red
White & Black’, plus Roy Cape All Stars, Ghetto
Flex and Imij & Co., Denise Belfon, Iwer George, Mista
Vybes and a host of others.
Jef
plans on making Soca Bookings the number one Caribbean
booking agency in the near future. “Well, it’s
always about putting your best foot forward and the intent
is to become the top performer booking agency in the world."
Once
again, the leading webmaster will put his ‘best
foot forward’ as he joins #1 DJ/Radio personality
Dr JAY to host a world-class event. ‘SOCA
OR DIE 4 LOVE’ takes place Sunday May 21st at Sin
City. Tickets are now available in various stores
around the GTA.
