Jamaican artiste Names M has received a nomination in the CariVibez Video Awards in the category of “International Video of the Year” for his collaboration “Where They At” with D’Angel.
Styled by Carlton Brown, Names M and D’Angel certainly look the part in the video, fashionable, stylish and definitely leaving a lasting impression. The video was shot in Kingston, the Port Royal Yacht Club and on a Yacht cruising in the Caribbean Sea.
Directed by Crew Media Inc and edited by Yuri Jones the video was a landmark in the career of Names M, putting him on the musical map. The concept, according to Names M was to create a video showing what the song “Where They At” is all about, a “woman’s anthem for classy, sexy women”, a video as energetic as the song, merging hip hop and dancehall.
Upon hearing about his nomination, Names M said “ I truly appreciate the nomination by CariVibez. This shows that someone out there recognize our countless, sleepless nights of work. The fact that CariVibez decided to bring such a nomination to the forefront shows the innovation of that company as well. I thank everyone that has played an instrumental part in my rise and look forward to continued success pleasing my fans.” He adds, “Let’s push good music created in the Caribbean onto the international landscape and keep it there! Names M ain’t ya regular rock!”
According to CariVibez, Caribbean music has come a long way over the last decade and nowhere is that more evident than as seen through the quality of music being created by our artists and producers, the creative and eye popping music videos from our directors, and the creativity of the genre’s unheralded heroes; our dancers and dance groups.
