Breathe, Stretch and Shake with Bling Dawg

Bling Dawg - CARLINGTON WILMOT

BLING DAWG WILL soon breathe, stretch, and shake with a workout music video to match the deejay's prowess in the gym.

Now an avid gym goer, the deejay has proudly slimmed down over the years. With the new single 'Breathe Stretch' on the Johnkanoo rhythm, he plans to wrap up shooting an exercise video for the tune soon. The idea, he notes, came from a gym setting, where he will lead the exercise class, similar to Kanye West's 'Workout Plan' music video, where he instructs females on how to lose weight.

"In all these videos I have never heard any Jamaican music being played as the people workout, so I said "why not?" Bling dawg stated.

"I had the idea for a while now, even before Kanye West did his own, but now I decided to go full ahead with it. I think I will be the perfect artiste for it. People tell me that I motivated them even with my fitness thing and how I slimmed down, so why not shoot a video."

The deejay noted that his video will be different as he plans to use it as a platform for product placement.

"It was held up because I wanted some sponsors. I was looking some products to place in the video. Yu know things like sports drinks and dem tings deh. Some (sponsors) say they can not manage but one sponsor looks committed to it. The aim is to take the video and bring it overseas, where their product will be on show to other markets. For a Jamaican product to make it overseas, it would be a great gateway," Bling dawg concluded.

With the innovative approach, Bling Dawg added that he is going into other fields as well.

"I am not just an artiste. I am a businessman. This is just one thing in a list of other projects I started to produce already, with a rhythm called 'Pitbull' and I have a one drop one coming out soon ... Further down I may consider a full length real workout video, but for now it's just the music video."
