Skinny Fabulous for Jamzone NY

We behaving the worst on August 09, 2014 when Jamzone Summer Break will be hosted in New York City.

Creating quite a buzz with his 2014 release ‘Behaving the Worst’, Skinny Fabulous is the most recent artist to be added to the Jamzone N.Y.C. edition lineup! Already, set to perform at the much anticipated event is Mavado, Timeka Marshall and x2.

Gamal Doyle, better known by his stage name Skinny Fabulous, is the unquestionably talented soca artist from St. Vincent and the Grenadines. This versatile artist demonstrates his passion for his work with his quick wit and the capacity to mesmerize the crowd when on stage. Skinny Fabulous is always willing to push the boundaries of Caribbean music with energetic performances and with his own twist to the art; his style may sometimes be considered soca-dancehall, two genres that are sure to invigorate any crowd!

Skinny Fabulous is both a singer and songwriter but it was in 2008 that he made a major impression on the soca arena with the release of “Head Bad’ for Vincy Mas of that year. With that release, the St. Vincent Soca Monarch was named and Skinny Fabulous’ career skyrocketed since. He later collaborated with some of the top soca artists such as Machel Montano, Bunji Garlin, Fay-Ann Lyons, Peter Ram, Kevin Lyttle, etc.

Among some of the songs Skinny Fabulous is highly recognized for are ‘De Beast Leh Go’, ‘Summer Body’, ‘Badder than Everybody’ and ‘Fetting On’.

Jamzone NYC, which is slated for August 09, 2014 at The Village, Ralph Avenue, Brooklyn, is promised to be nothing less than adrenaline-charged and plans have definitely kick-started in this direction with the first set of bookings and what’s more exciting, other performers are yet to be announced.

While this will be the first year for Jamzone to be hosted in the U.S., the event is in its fourteenth year in Guyana where it is established as the greatest calendar event. Promoters are aiming for Guyana’s most anticipated event to make a similar impact on the international scene.
