Maddzart

Raeon 'MaddZart' Primus is a soca singer from St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

Biography

Maddzart was born in Fountain, St. Vincent and the Grenadines as the second of two children. He began singing at age seven, representing his school in various competitions, where he performed folk, gospel, and other childhood sing along songs.

He joined the group Blaksand in June 2000. His soca hit "The Town Song" led to him placing second in the local Soca Monarch competition, and regional and international recognition was achieved. This led to him performing in Barbados, Grenada, North America, and England.

In 2001, MaddZart released another hit song, "Poor People Anthem." The song proved that MaddZart could pen emotion and reality to create a cry for the suffering. This song got him the first ever, local Ragga Soca Monarch title. Another renowned song of his is "Helicopter". Though facing tough competition from Hairy Bank, he managed to wrestle his way to the second place for Soca Monarch and third place in the Road March competition.

In 2002 he once again managed to maintain his place in the top three at the Soca Monarch positions with his "Wind Song," again fending off Chook it up. MaddZart extended his song writing skills in 2002 writing, producing and arranging for an artiste that went on to place second in the Junior Soca monarch competition, he penned songs for two other Soca Monarch finalists that same year.

MaddZart writes all of his own songs. He credits his mood, certain events, his friends and as he calls them ‘the haters’ as inspirations. He considers Adrian and Anthony Bailey and Max Providence as significant influences, especially Adrian Bailey, who gave him his first opportunity to be recorded in a studio.

After a life time of providing entertainment at all levels, and nearly a decade of Carnival and Soca performances, MADDZART has decided to embark on a journey to create a whole new experience for fans and patrons alike. Brace your self as Hairoun Records and N-Sane Projexx presents MADDZART and the MADD SYMPHONY "BORN AGAIN". Yes, MADDZART is no longer a part of the HSphaktor cast. And whilst he is still a part owner of HSphaktor, MADDZART is currently shifting his attention to different things and new projects. He is “BORN AGAIN”.

MADDZART’s production (MADDZART UNLIMITED) and engineering skills is now being nurtured in his self owned recording studio: N-Sane House of miXin; a project he has dedicated to not only making his own hits but working with young and upcoming talents who may not be able to afford the price tag on some of the major producers and recording studios. This studio is intended to be a hub for his new vision and movement MADDZART and the MADD SYMPHONY "BORN AGAIN".

This new entertainment unit headed by MADDZART (R. Primus) C.E.O. of N-Sane Projexx, under the management of Classic Vibes promises a stage show that will be taken up a few notches, with theatrics, stunts, lighting, dancing, special effects, energy, and pulsating sounds. This is a birth of a new musical exodus with very essential elements from his past musical ventures and experiences hence the term "BORN AGAIN". Remember, keep a look out, its Hairoun Records, MADDZART UNLIMITED and the MADD SYMPHONY ...
