It's been a while, 4 years in fact, since Mr. Program has been featured in our newscast. He made a major splash on the local music scene for his hugely popular song, 'See I Rise', but then he started to fade into the background.
Well, Mr. Program is back, and his looking for the support of the Belizean people for his new song and video called "Tek It Easy".
He stopped by 7News to speak about the song, and it's intended message. Here's what he and the producer of the video told us:
Aaron "Drive" Louriano - Video Producer, BCMG "The video is from a song called, 'Take it easy', and our focus on this video is to show that if you're going through some struggles out there, just take it easy, stay positive, stay - basically, it's trying to lead the youths I the right direction. Don't get caught up in the street world and the gangster world; it's more like youths need education, more love, let us pay more attention to the youths and give them love. We get some of the youths from the community and they come in they give us there full support. They say, 'We love what you're doing', to say someone from Belize is trying to bring something positive instead of all the time this negative business. Belize is a beautiful country, and I personally don't believe Belize is a negative country. I believe Belize is a positive country; we just need to get more support."
Mr. Program - Artist "'Take it easy' is a comeback track base on the experience and the challenges I've been going through for the past 4 years, like Drive, stating Mr. Loriano. We are doing a lot, we're meeting thousands of people, we're trying to reach out at as much people. Maybe even take this thing to the world, as I understand and the feedback is that we're doing outstanding jobs with the types of music we're producing. But, we really can use a lot more help from the business community and from those concerned, whoever that might be, who can actually give a lending hand. I start from just myself as an artist and the production that we put out, we want to work with other young artist who we think have a lot of talent, that can help represent us to look good and they look good, and build this thing to something outstanding, that maybe the world might eventually ask for."
Any artist who would like to collaborate or any member of the public who would like to make an appearance in future videos can call Drive at 664-0136 or Mr. Program at 665-1879. There will be a link posted on 7Newsbelize.com for those of the public who would like to view it.
