Alternative Pop Singer Brandy Rich is Opening Act for Virgin
Islands Largest Concert Featuring Alicia Keyes and Wyclef Jean
January 23, 2005
New alternative-pop singer Brandy Rich will be the opening
act for the largest concert ever staged in the Virgin Islands.
The concert will star Alicia Keys, Wyclef Jean, Gerald Levert,
and more at Lionel Roberts Stadium. “I’m so excited
to hang out with Virgin Islands people and to be performing
with artists that I admire, like Alicia Keyes and Wyclef Jean,”
said Brandy, shortly before leaving for the islands.
The concert was originally scheduled for January but
has been re-scheduled.Westline Productions in St. Thomas Virgin
Islands has not released the new concert date yet.
The concert will kick off the Caribbean Shining Star competitions,
which are similar to American Idol. The televised contest will
be held in nine Caribbean islands and begin on St Thomas, US
Virgin Islands at the Reichhold Centre for the Arts. The other
islands that will host the contest are the Bahamas, the Dominican
Republic, Jamaica, St Marten, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago,
Aruba and Puerto Rico. The contest winner will get a recording
contract.
Performing in the opening concert has accelerated the pace
of life for the 18 year-old singer and songwriter. Brandy has
recently recorded 2 new songs and television interviews in Atlanta.
Brandy Rich is quite goal oriented for some one who is just
finishing high school in Albany, Georgia. She writes thoughtful
lyrics and has already recorded 10 songs in Los Angeles, Nashville
and Atlanta. She writes, sings and co-produces her own music
with veteran producer Andrew Lane of Atlanta.
