Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. December 17, 2013 -- Annually, New Year resolutions are made by people from all walks of life. Entertainers in Trinidad and Tobago, an island known for the free spirited nature of its people is no different. In fact, one local entertainer, who goes by the sobriquet, Vetta- real name Kevin Allan, has promised himself that 2014 will see him become involved in Trinidad and Tobago’s anti bullying campaign. For the Enterprise, Chaguanas native, it’s a first step into something he truly believes deserves greater focus and greater public support.

With Christmas looming, Vetta- known for his strong rap verses, has taken the time to conjure thoughts of hope and happiness for the people of his homeland, T&T. “This year has seen a lot of negativity across the country and my hope for the New Year is that we as a people, are able to reflect on what the land has faced and strive to be better, individually and collectively,” he said.

Vetta has been involved in music since the year 2000. He says his inspiration came from the Hip Hop group, The Fugees, however today, he looks to artistes like Kanye West and even Trinidad and Tobago’s Bunji Garlin for musical inspiration. Untraditional choruses and melodies fuel his passion and even after taking some time off, having become a bit disenchanted by the local entertainment industry, his natural love for music proved undeniable. “I took a couple years off from the music, but I started back recording this year. The first single I put out was a track called, ‘Represent’- a hip hop track that used a sample from Biggie Smalls and it was produced by DLL and recorded at Highway Records,” he said, adding that in the weeks ahead, he’ll be unleashing a new Soca music track for the Carnival season in T&T.

Vetta isn’t about any one particular genre of music. In fact, he believes he can be great at any genre he chooses to become involved in and for that reason he’s dabbling in Soca especially with the seasonal focus locally. “The music will speak for itself. I just plan on putting out as much music as I can,” he said, noting that he’s been working with young local producers, Star Blu Entertainment and Millbeatz Entertainment.

Separately, the New Year looks to be one filled with great opportunities for the ambitious musician as plans are already in place for him to travel to North America and Europe where foreign producers have indicated their strong desire to meet with him to discuss partnerships. Vetta is ready to rumble and with a light spirit leading him, the Trinidad born artiste looks to 2014 with a strong sense of self and a desire to make great things happen.
