制作人罗梅尔·史密斯（又名 Smiddy Smith）采用了我们在安圭拉音乐学院录制的声音库，并添加了更多乐器来呈现他对索卡音乐声音的看法。 结果是一组充满活力和电子舞曲节奏的循环和单曲，带有感觉良好的底音，直接来自索卡的故乡：特立尼达和多巴哥。

Smiddy 是 StarBlu Entertainment 背后头脑敏锐、才华横溢的音乐家之一，他从小就被音乐爱好者所包围。 他的旅程始于家里的锡锅和木勺，后来与 Rhapsody Next Generation (RNG) 乐队的音乐家一起演奏，这让他接触到了特立尼达一些最优秀的艺术家，如 Destra Garcia、Machel Montano、Denise Belfon、Rikki Jai、Kes、 和奥拉通吉（Olatunji）等。 将他完全推向音乐的决定性时刻是听到他现在的商业伙伴达里尔·塞缪尔 (Daryl Samuel) 的一首歌曲，这首歌立即让人感觉像是命中注定——当他遇到阿贾里·朱尔斯 (Ajari Jules) 和贾斯顿·伦敦 (Juston London) 时，这种感觉被放大了。 他们的集体创造力和热情促成了 StarBlu Entertainment 的成立。

Smiddy 于 2009 年开始从事音乐行业，在那里他不断磨练和提高自己的制作技术，从周围的人那里汲取灵感，同时保持自己独特的风格。 “我喜欢给人们带来情绪波动”，他在谈到他在创作音乐时所利用的深层情感联系时说道。 这一切都与聆听体验、听众听到曲目时的想象以及他如何帮助他们了解全貌有关。

StarBlu Entertainment 秉承“永远不要怀疑自己”的口号，与加勒比海地区和国际各地的艺术家合作，制作从 soca 和 dancehall 到 Rand;B 和流行音乐的歌曲。 特立尼达的 Destra Garcia、Fayann Lyons、Bunji Garlin 和 Preedy； 巴巴多斯的 King Bubba FM、Allison Hinds 和牙买加的 Biggie Irie 的 Aidonia 和 Konshens； 巴哈马的文迪； 和圣卢西亚的 Big Vybe、Sedale； 非洲的 Seyi Shay 和 CDQ 都是从球队的制作人才中受益的明星阵容。 迄今为止，一些热门歌曲包括 Machel Montano 的“On My Way”、Destra 的“Soca Save My Life”、Stranger Things Riddim 和 The For You Project。

Producer Romell Smith, aka Smiddy Smith, took the library of sounds we recorded at the Anguilla Music Academy and added more instrumentation to present his take on the sounds of Soca music. The result is a pack full of loops and one-shots of energetic and electric dance rhythms with feel-good undertones straight from the home of Soca: Trinidad and Tobago.

One of the sharp minds and talented musicians behind StarBlu Entertainment, Smiddy was surrounded by music lovers since childhood. His journey began with tin pans and wooden spoons at home, later playing alongside musicians in the band Rhapsody Next Generation (RNG), which exposed him to some of Trinidad’s finest artists like Destra Garcia, Machel Montano, Denise Belfon, Rikki Jai, Kes, and Olatunji, to name a few. The defining moment that fully pushed him into music was hearing a track by his now business partner Daryl Samuel that immediately felt like destiny – a feeling amplified when he met Ajari Jules and Juston London. Their collective creativity and passion led to the formation of StarBlu Entertainment.

Smiddy began working in the music business in 2009, where he continued honing and enhancing his production techniques, taking inspiration from the people around him while staying true to his unique style. “I like to give people mood swings”, he says, speaking to the deep emotional connection he taps into when making music. It’s all about the listening experience, what listeners visualize when they hear a track, and how he can help them see the full picture.

Living with the mantra of “Never doubt yourself”, StarBlu Entertainment has worked with artists from around the Caribbean region and internationally to produce songs from soca and dancehall to Rand;B and pop. Trinidad’s Destra Garcia, Fayann Lyons, Bunji Garlin, and Preedy; Barbados’ King Bubba FM, Allison Hinds, and Biggie Irie’ Jamaica’s Aidonia and Konshens; Bahama’s Wendi; and St. Lucia’s Big Vybe, Sedale; and Africa’s Seyi Shay and CDQ are among the line up of stars to have benefitted from the team’s producing talents. To date, some of the hit songs include “On My Way” by Machel Montano, “Soca Save My Life” by Destra, Stranger Things Riddim, and The For You Project.
