Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. July 31st, 2018 - Internationally, major moves are being made with Soca music in mind. One multifaceted entertainer has teamed up with Jamaica’s Stacious for the promotion of an Afro-Soca vibe that he’s confident, will make heads turn and invoke enjoyment, particularly within African communities in the US- something he’s determined to see happen.

Atlanta based Soca artiste, music producer and videographer, Ronnie Homer, has delivered seamlessly. The new collaborative single, “Spend Money” comes complete with a video that was created by reputed videographer, Deusbeni out of Atlanta. “I’ve teamed up with Deusbeni because this company is essentially one of the biggest US based video production companies and when it comes to quality, there’s no match,” said Homer. The single, which was produced by Jamaica’s Journey Music, features female dancehall artiste Stacious, a link that was made through a mutual connection. “It was only after the lyrics were sung and the song’s production was done that she realized the collaboration was with me. We’ve known each other for a long time,” said Homer.

Ronnie’s best known for his 2014 hit single, ‘Jam’. He has never stopped recording though, proving consistent in a music industry that’s pretty difficult to break into. This time around his focus is affirmed. “Right now Afro Soca is taking over, even in New York. In Atlanta, where I live, there is a strong influence of the African culture and so I’ve decided to work my way into this market. Dancehall music has already managed to get the attention of the African market so I believe collaborating with a dancehall artiste like Stacious on a song with such a vibrant African beat, is essentially a good move,” he said.

Soca music continuously making inroads onto various markets, the US based Soca artiste is fearless in his approach. “There’s value in every effort. We don’t stop and we don’t fail; we keep learning with every step made,” he says, proudly standing firm with the music he loves- Soca.
