The Caribbean has been a hotbed of talent over the years with artists like Rihanna, Sean Kingston, Sean Paul, and the legendary Bob Marley. Even pop stars like Maroon 5 and Gwen Stefani have both sampled the pulsating beats of what is known as Caribbean fusion, a mixture of Calypso, Soca, Funk, Reggae ton, Rap, R & B and Soul currently dominating the music world. Vertigram Records believes they have found the next star to come out of the Caribbean in Gideon James.
In June 2007, Gideon James debut his Solo album So Special in the Caribbean. The album was an instant success with dance hall singles like U-turn, Come Home and Work It, while receiving significant Radio airplay and CD sales.
In addition, the album's title track climbed up the Caribbean Top 40 charts and was number one for three months. This success along with James signature sound caught the attention of Vertigram LLC.
Today, newly signed Vertigram artist Gideon James is hard at work performing in the Caribbean and planning a North American/European tour.
The single Work It is the first official release from Vertigram Records a division of Vertigram LLC. With remixes from veteran producers such as Richard Humpty Vission, Al B. Rich, Friscia and Lamboy, and Josh Harris, Work It made it onto the Billboard Hot Club Play chart and working the American dance floors.
