                                                         BRAIN STORMING
SEP .26th

Me and the team got together and tried to come up with and interesting concept and subject and realistic deadline. the first idea was to do a documentary on the state of pollution in our capital city Port of Spain. although it was a very great idea, we all considered especially myself and Ryan Bascomb, 'with a production like this we may have to get "dirty" and venture into polluted areas and the Beetham Dump may be definitely a location worth visiting so..... which one of these pretty women in our group are willing to make such a run'? .......silence...... ummm okay next idea. from this moment and beyond we decided to come up with something that was interesting, simplistic and also fun. Our next idea was a documentary on 'the purpose of life' although very interesting as well, to execute this the way we wanted will infringe on our deadline which was November 27th. Our final idea was to document the life of an Artiste, but who? because the artist has to be one that isn't surrounded by over protective management,dont have an extra busy schedule, very humble and down-to-earth, must be relevant due to their accomplishments, have a story to tell and easy to get on to. for me only one artist came to mind, 'Fire Ball'



                                      

Fireball became the first winner of the first Synergy Soca Star competition in 2006 with his smash hit 'Danger' and that led him to many major opportunities. one of these opportunities was a meeting with a very French record producer and owner of  label yellow productions who remixed an already successful single from fireball named 'What I Want'which quickly climbed the billboard charts






What made Fireball so significant is the fact that his deal apparently fell through the cracks and he returned to Trinidad and can be seen selling his CD's on the streets of Port of Spain and Trincity for $25. a lot of misconceptions surround the real story behind his his fall from grace but the fact remains , no other artiste from Trinidad and Tobago topped the chart like Fireball did so his story was on that will clear the air on a lot of things surrounding this super star.
