"HABANA COMPAS" DANCE COMPANY
HABANA COMPAS DANCE COMPANY The company Habana Compás Dance (HCD), was 
founded in 2004. It is directed by the dancer and choreographer Liliet Rivera Puentes, who has a great experience at important stages at Cuba, the United States, Spain and Venezuela.

HCD is currently composed of 12 female dancers and 4 musicians, but in its proposals is possible to use a small number of them in correspondence with the program agreed in the contract.   The artistic style of the company is evidenced in a choreography product that merge the spirit of the Spanish dances with the Afro-Cuban rhythms and contemporary dance through new aesthetic codes, in which the female dancers not only dance, but also use percussion, using any element at hand: drumsticks, castanets, heels, wood slipper, claves, chequerés, and percussive chairs.

The maestro Eduardo Córdova and the own director of the company are responsible of the musical direction and the percussion work. Some musical themes are accompanied by keyboard and guitar. In its recently world premiered show “Fusión y pasión", all these elements are combined into pictures of great strength, beauty and impact. HCD performances have been many on national stages, both in the main theaters of the country and in hotels of the chains Sandals, Occidental Resorts and Melia, among others, as well as on various television programs.

“At the age of 16 Hailie-J entered into a singing competition called Kittitian Superstar where she only made it to the semi finals but that did not stop her from doing what she loved most. After the Kittitian Superstar competition, Hailie-J decided to start writing and recording her own music and also collaborated with some of her fellow local artists such as rapper S.M.I, V.P, Easy-B, Z-Dan, Simp and Underground.
April 2007 St. Kitts experienced a shock when she released her first promotional single “I’m Worth It” on the “dem time deh riddim”. At the time she was the only female Dancehall/R&B/Reggae artist that writes and records her own songs and received airplay. She was then contacted to do an interview at the Sugar Bowl Show where everyone shared her thoughts and views. Hailie-J then performed her hit single “I’m Worth It” at the Aidonia Show, which was held at Club Kactus. Hailie-J said that it was a great experience for her as she had the chance to work with her former dancers “Barbie” and “Clari”. She also performed on shows such as the Alaine show, the St. Kitts Fashion Weekend, Miss Big & Beautiful and Jah Cure in 2008.
“Music is my inspiration and is something that I take very seriously,” says Hailie-J and she realizes that the opportunity is knocking “for me I see it as an avenue to achieve great success in something that I have a great passion for.” During early March 2012 she released her first official music video entitled “If You Don’t Know Me By Now” and in September 2013 “Keep it Coming” featuring Silky de General which received a great response. Currently she has been working very hard towards her career and hopes to be successful” Ref. Hailie J BIO

DJ FLAMES
DJ Flames was born Dwayne Rickardo Ferguson in St. Ann’s Bay Jamaica where he moved to the island of St. Kitts and Nevis at the tender age of 17 in November of 1997. In 1999 DJ Flames was hired by Sugar City Roc 90.3 FM a local radio station as a disc jockey/ announcer where he becomes better known to a wider audience to the Eastern Caribbean and the people of St. Kitts and Nevis. In 2005 DJ Flames team up with DJ Kebal and took the island clubs by storm, by 2006 they was in feud with few other sounds and Dee jays, nothing physical though, In February of 2007 DJ flames went solo where he is know for is hype energy and smooth mixing skills and key sense of music he is a very versatile
Dee Jay and can cross over to any type of music from Punjabi, Soca, Reggae Dance Hall, Hip Hop Rap to Reggaeton and list goes.

FIREHOUSE SOUND
Born on the island of St. Kitts also known as Sugar City, Kyle Coker and Eustus Saunders became known to the Entertainment World as DJ Fire and Selecta Buddy, respectively. By growing up in a music
oriented and tourism driven society, this helped to influence their transition into the musical and entertainment industry. DJ Fire began his musical journey at the age of 13, when at that time he was fascinated and focused mostly on sound engineering.  He enjoyed mixing and recording for small, medium and even large sized events for both regional, local artists and bands for several years. DJ Fire then switched into DJing which afforded him the opportunity to play alongside many DJ’s in St. Kitts such as DJ Fresh, and as a result he became very appreciated by DJ’s because of his eager enthusiasm for DJing at his young age. Selecta Buddy began at the age of 18 as a MC for small college and high school parties in St. Kitts, more specifically at the local community college (CFBC). Also being close friends with DJ Fire, Selecta Buddy became familiar and privy to vast amount of music. The two, being classmates and close friends for a number of years teamed up to form what is now known as Firehouse Sounds. Today Firehouse Sounds play in the US Virgin Islands at clubs and bars throughout the islands. They are also apart of BlazeBoyz Entertainment which is a combination of Firehouse Sounds and EPBeats collating all their talent and expertise under one umbrella. By becoming a part of this movement they are now doing promotions, recordings, beats, parties, sound reinforcement, live production etc. In addition, they control a Saturday night online show on VI LinkUp Radio (www.vilinkupradio.com).

LIVE WIRE SOUND 
Inspired and ready to trod the trod “Live Wire Sound” took flight in 2002 when Cebo took his love for music to the next level when “Gold Finger” from Platinum Sound New York linked him in St. Kitts.
“I give energy to the sound and make you feel like a live wire” Di rect words of warning from Melvon Benjamin a.k.a. Cebo, Owner, Mic Man, MC, Sing-Jay, and Selector of “Live Wire Sound” rooted in Parsons Village St. Kitts W.I. If you want your core to vibrate to the beat “Live Wire Sound” will deliver. They cater for music lovers of all genres; Dance Hall, Rap, Hip Hop, Reggae, Soca, R & B and give you exactly what you need. Their international catalogue of music is large, but they always make room to promote National Artists and give them a well deserved forward. Cebo has played at a variety of different events and juggled with Sounds such as Lion Rock from Saddlers and Evolution. Since the end of 2012, he has held down the Sound on his own until 2014 when a fresh young DJ named Anson Ronaldo Bell joined Live Wire in 2014. He started juggling tunes when he was fifteen. Then, linked up with his friend and started playing for Ross University (Veterinarian School) Students Private Parties for two years . He plays Dance Hall, Reggae, R & B, Rap, Electro and Nigerian Songs. Together their combined energy take you to the heights until you’re ready to come back down. Bookings: Cebo 1(869) 764-8953
