Pyramid
Entertainment's presence felt in T&T's Carnival 2008
This comes following the successful 2007 venture between Pyramid Entertainment and Sesame Flyers International (New York's largest Carnival mas band), when the Pyramid music truck was a very visible element in the New York Labour Day parade and celebrations. In 2008, they aligned themselves with the big mas band Tribe, consisting of over 5,000 eager revelers to present the Pyramid "All Star" music truck. Complete with a performance stage, music by Dawg-E-Slaughter and Xcaliber and fully equipped by Tank Sound Systems, the truck was a literal media magnet, attracting not only spectators with cameras but also crews from local, regional and international media houses (who took opportunities to interview the truck's featured artistes).
Biggie Irie was also a featured artiste on the 2008 "All Star" truck; along side 2007 Barbados Road March winner and peoples choice award winner Mr. Dale, 2007 Barbados Soca Monarch finalist Peter Ram and regional soca star Problem Child. Also sending the crowd of masqueraders into frenzy were the performances by invited Trinidadian guests 2008 International Soca Monarch winner Bunji Garlin and his wife, the newly crowned 2008 T&T Road March winner Faye-Ann Lyons, as well as Road March contender Blaxx and Umi Marcano. In addition to the music truck, Pyramid Entertainment also made a promotional impact for their company, their artistes and for the general festival culture of Barbados by erecting a 20' X 8" double sided billboard on the east/west corridor of the Churchill Roosevelt Highway which reads "From Carnival to Crop Over" and features images of four of the Barbadian superstars on the Pyramid roster, Biggie Irie, Lil Rick, Mr. Dale and Peter Ram.
Pyramid Entertainment is a booking agency, management and artiste representation company providing established and emerging artistes with a range of services to increase their earning potential and exposure in traditional and non-traditional music markets.

Barbados
based company Pyramid Entertainment Management Inc. has once again created history
during the festive period of Trinidad and Tobago's Carnival celebrations, by being
the first foreign entity and entertainment company to put a music and performance
truck on the road for T&T Carnival.
Pyramid
had broken boundaries last Carnival when Biggie Irie (an artiste featured on their
talent roster) became the first non-T&T national to win the International
Groovy Soca Monarch Competition.
Pyramid
Entertainment's management team Santia Bradshaw and Ruel Ward, express their sincere
gratitude to all of the artistes who performed on the truck, the radio stations
which continue to promote the music of the Barbadian and regional artistes, the
promoters who were responsible for booking the artistes over the Carnival season
and the Barbados Tourism Authority (BTA), whom they invited to come on board as
a co-sponsor, in an effort to promote the Barbados Crop Over Festival and encourage
the participants of T&T's carnival experience, to join them in Barbados for
their festival in August of 2008.
