It is official: Deejay Busy Signal has severed all ties with his former representative, Julian Jones-Griffith, and has now penned a new manage-ment deal with Shane C. Brown of Juke Boxx Productions.

Busy Signal, whose real name is Reano Gordon, says there are no hard feelings, "a jus manage-ment changing, an Shane Brown from Big Yard a deal wid di ting. Every ting start out properly, Shane always a look out fi mi, a good yout, every ting still good."

While Busy Signal denied that his decision to seek new management was as a result of Jones-Griffith focusing most of his attention on Mavado, who he also manages, Busy said that he was at a stage in his career where he needed all the push and attention he could get.

"Wi a young artiste, wi need all di attention an di push, cause wi nuh reach no weh yet; wi a young artiste same way," Busy said.

Busy, however, said that there were no ill feelings between himself and Jones-Griffith, as he says, "I appreciate all that has been done for me in the past."
