St. Lucia’s leading lovers’ rock artiste has returned to his roots and is now singing for the conscious at heart.
Semi has produced two albums “Collections 1,& 2” with executive producer Yves Lewis and a string of hits including his chart topper “Put Yourself In My Place”. He’s acquired a wealth of experience as a musician having worked the hotel, club and cruise ship circuits, which eventually led to his migration along with the band Summit to the United Kingdom.
With managers Pam and Paul Castle, the band appeared on many high profile shows, one of them being the BBC’s pebble Mill and through publisher David Most, the group signed a recording contract with RCA records. Since then Semi has performed alongside the best in the business - Sanchez, Gregory Isaacs, Culture, John Holt, Shaggy and Wyclef Jean. Semi drew further recognition with his band Oct 4 when he performed at the opening of the St. Lucia Jazz Festival.
Semi now back in St. Lucia, after recording and performing in Boston under the WildCubby music label has accepted the higher calling and has returned to his spiritual roots . Says Semi, “fulfillment in life is knowing the creator”.
The future is expected to see Semi taking on new challenges. He is now laying down tracts for his first conscious album in his very own home recording studio. The first single off the album is titled “Give praises” a self testimony of gratitude to creator
God. Semi says he wants to help spread the message of love through the Caribbean and the rest of the world.
The artist has already assisted young and upcoming performers by producing a CD compilation “Militant For Christ” which featured nine of The Island’s young artist.
Semi has also produced for a number of other artist including Nintus, Pelay, TC Brown Dot.K, Ben Alcide, Special Blend, Emrand Henry and Elra Ermay to name a few.
