  Chatting With Sherri welcomes award-winning artist and illustrator; Clarence Bateman! Clarence Bateman's passion for art was inspired by comic books from an early age. He fantasized about one day being a comic book artist for Marvel as Spiderman was his favorite superhero at the time. In his early teenage years he would hustle family members by doing Christmas cards and lightly twisting their arms to buy them. He would do art for his friends in school and they would pay him with comic books. He dropped out of high school to enroll in the The Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts in Kingston, Jamaica attending for three years before emigrating to the US.   After a series of dead end jobs he decided to go back to school for art enrolling in the New York City Technical College part time while holding down a full time job in the garment district as a pattern maker. He did a three year advertising program with the intention of becoming an Art Director and instead ended up working in the advertising field for the next thirty plus years as a freelance pre-production sketch artist. Sketch art at the time was done primarily with magic markers, color pencils and inks. When work started transitioning to the computer he taught himself how to use Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.   Clarence's primary focus is Science Fiction and Fantasy art encompassing such a wide range of subject matter he considers it practically impossible to have artist block. He spends his late nights honing his skills, constantly learning, and working to become a better artist. Clarence Bateman artist and Illustrators of the Future winner from L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 39.  

For Malene Djenaba Barnett, the common thread of her life's work is her ancestors, whom she pays homage to through her multidisciplinary pursuits. There's Barnett's textiles and ceramics work tied to the Black diaspora, her 2018 founding of the Black Artists + Designers Guild (BADG) to celebrate and support Black creatives, and her current studies as a Fulbright scholar where she is the visiting artist at Edna Manley College in Kingston, Jamaica.

Born Courtney Mark Anthony Stewart, in Roaring River, St Thomas, Jamaica, he started on his musical journey in the mid-1980s, toasting on Studio 4 Sound System in his hometown. After migrating to Kingston I-Maa-Ra began his recording career. “I awake from the darkness of hate, break the slate to recreate someone great. Not too early not too late, I degenerate to regenerate, within, lies my fate.” Poetic expression from I-Maa-Ra, singer, songwriter, poet, and recording artiste. The legendary Channel 1 Recording Studio was where he recorded his first single. Produced by Horace Tapper the song ‘Iron Bar” was recorded on the Top Rick record label, owned by Horace Tapper. I-Maa-Ra recorded a few singles under the name Senator Gary. Among them was “They are Dangerous,” done on the Beacon record label. Characterized with the ability to “degenerate to regenerate” he changed his name to ‘I-Mara’, meaning “Solid and Firm’. This dynamic performing artiste is now called I-Maa-Ra, meaning “I see the Light”. In 1992 I-Maa-Ra was awarded a scholarship to attend The Cultural Training Centre, now called the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts. At the then School of Music, he studied- Caribbean Latin American Jazz, specializing in Vocal and Ear Training. I-Maa-Ra worked on Jamaica’s North Coast in the hotel circuit for a while after which he linked up with the group Abbasani managed by Milton Boothe, owner of Roots Rock Muzik. He became the group’s lead vocalist. Under the name I-Mara, he released albums: "Let I Go," "Life’s Journey," and "Don’t Take It Personal." He also released several singles to include, 'Cramp & Paralyse the Heathen,' 'Babylon Ba Bye,' and 'Caan Cope.' He also did several music videos. I-Mara has so far worked with such big names as Dean Fraser, Ibo Cooper, Barry O'Hare, and Mikey Bennett. I-Maa-Ra once sat on the board of directors of the Jamaica Association of Composers, Authors, and Publishers, and is also a social advocate and motivational speaker in schools and colleges across the island. Meanwhile, I-Mara continues to perform across the island of Jamaica. An avid reader and prolific writer, always seeking to improve his craft, I-Maa-Ra continues to record and write poems. Having gone through a spiritual transformation, I-Maa-Ra is now ready to unleash his full and true potential, energized and enlightened.

JUBBA WHITE, White Stone Productions - Brand New Album - YOU Jubba White & Friends “Music is a universal language, and Reggae, as a genre represents so much of what we are facing globally.” Jubba White/White Stone Productions Many artists grow their talent as young adults. Jubba White entered the world banging on kitchen pots and exercising his dynamic lungs at three years old. Born in the rural area of May Pen, Clarendon (Jamaica), Jubba learned to sing and play the drums in church, where his mother was a foundation member and sang in the choir. During high school, Jubba and his childhood friend, Rohan “Maka Lox” Gordon (guitar), joined forces with Phillip ‘Winta’ James (keys) and Veron “Koxx” Dinnall (bassie) to form a powerhouse quartet. These four talented young men quickly made an impact on the local scene. Jubba was first to enrol in the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts (Kingston), and began studies in the Caribbean, Latin American, and Jazz music. Soon the entire band enrolled. In 1997, the band was approached to take further their career under the name Ruption Kru. This opportunity resulted in numerous tours across Europe, supporting reggae icons such as the Mighty Diamonds, The Heptones, Big Youth, and more. That same year, they performed on their first professional studio album by The Ethiopians (Tuff Gong Studios), entitled ‘Tougher than Stone.’ More tours were added. In 1998, Jubba and some bandmates became the personal support band for Bushman, and in 1999, for Junior Kelly. Both were premier rising stars at the time. Jubba and the band played an instrumental role in some of their recordings, and live shows for both artists. References may be found in the notes of albums such as Signs (Bushman); Smile & Tough Life (Junior Kelly). https://jubbawhite.com/photos
