Tonight at 7.30 pm, The Bun­ga­low, lo­cat­ed on Rust Street, St Clair, will be the venue for the launch par­ty of the Hap­py Rid­dim launch par­ty.

The main play­ers are Jesse “Col­lege Boy Jesse” Stew­art and Steve Sealy Jnr and they will be sup­port­ed by pop­u­lar artistes Ray­mond Ram­nar­ine, Turn­er, Wadi­ki and 3rd Bass.

Hav­ing both made their de­but for T&T’s Na­tion­al Se­nior Foot­ball team as Uni­ver­si­ty stu­dents, Sealy Jr and Stew­art are prov­ing that they con­tin­ue to be Trin­ba­go am­bas­sadors and So­ca War­riors; not on the field but out of the record­ing stu­dio.

The pair have both hung up their boots and have sim­i­lar­ly turned to mu­sic to wean them­selves off their first love.

Sealy Jnr’s foot­ball dreams fell apart when he was di­ag­nosed with stage four can­cer, while Jesse en­dured a knee in­jury. Sealy Jnr suc­cess­ful­ly fought his can­cer bat­tle cred­it­ing a pos­i­tive men­tal state for his tri­umph.

For Stew­art, mu­sic has seen him through his ca­reer path changes too, his lat­est move led him from leav­ing the cor­po­rate world, to pur­sue his pas­sion as an artiste.

His love of the stage brings him true hap­pi­ness.

The pair has teamed up to spread hap­pi­ness in a time when the na­tion seems to need it most and though many say hap­pi­ness is an in­side job, no one will protest mu­sic that in­spires it.

The lead sin­gle off the rid­dim (Hap­py Song) is per­formed by Col­lege Boy Jesse, and in­cludes a mu­sic video pro­duced and di­rect­ed by Re­nal­do M0ata­moro of RM Vi­su­als. The video was shot on the streets of Port-of-Spain, high­light­ing the vi­brant en­er­gy of “the Hap­py Cap­i­tal of the world.” The video is meant to evoke hap­pi­ness and help lis­ten­ers to re­dis­cov­er the hap­pi­ness with­in.

The song writ­ing was a col­lab­o­ra­tive ef­fort from Col­lege Boy Jesse, Curleen Stew­art and Steve Sealy.

The Hap­py Song is pro­duced by Steve Sealy of Ghost­writ­ers Records and with this song, Sealy hopes to add to his list of icon­ic so­ca re­lease in­clud­ing Big Peo­ple Par­ty, per­formed by Farmer Nap­py; Machel Mon­tano’s Life Of The Par­ty; Denise Bel­fon’s Whin­ing Queen; Dru­patee and Machel Mon­tano’s In­di­an Gyal; and, 5 Star Ak­il’s Parti­er to name a few.

For Col­lege Boy Jesse, the writer be­hind hits for the likes of Machel Mon­tano, Skin­ny Fab­u­lous, Al­i­son Hinds, Lyrikal, Ted­dyson John, Aaron Dun­can and Rik­ki Jai to name a few, per­form­ing through­out the globe pales in com­par­i­son to the hope of shar­ing a song that tran­scends ge­o­graph­i­cal lim­i­ta­tions, reach­ing every cor­ner of this twin-is­land state he loves.

This project is now avail­able at all ra­dio sta­tions and the Hap­py Song of­fi­cial video can be seen on dig­i­tal plat­forms and lo­cal me­dia hous­es.
