Reggae Artist Walker.T Creates Music Label
Reggae artist Walker.T has joined the ranks of many reggae leaders by creating and launching his very own music label. The Walkerton Music Group Inc. was created for the independent music entities. Walkerton Music Group Inc. Consist of: SUPA RECORDS: Fort Lauderdale Florida. TEMPO PRODUCTIONS: San Diego California. J.P. PRODUCTIONS: Hollywood California. CRENSHAW ENTERTAINMENT: Hollywood California/Aggtown Texas. STAR INTERNATIONAL SOUND INC: Brooklyn New York. Walker.T and his affiliates have all been in the reggae music fraternity for many years and have each contributed their fair share of hard work by either producing, promoting or being an artist themselves. The launch of the music group was to generate enough resources necessary to be able to produce records,spread the message of reggae music and also as a means of evading the vastly growing but somewhat currupted atmoshpere of doing business without any strong representation or rights, or license for the music. The first major project of the Walkerton Music Group was to promote the latest Walker.T single “I Cry”, as song penned by Walker.T in 2007 addressing the struggles facing the poorer communities and the youths in the streets. The single did well in Jamaica, UK, France, Italy but it was not officially released. Now the lable is focusing on completing Walker.T album “Strangest Things” set to be release late 2008-early 2009 depending on distributing partnerships that are still being worked out.
