2010 Carnival attendees might have noticed that missing from D Asylum band was founding member Skarz. If you not sure who we are referring to, Skarz is the extremely energetic guy who always ran out on stage, firing lyrics at the masses and feeding off their energy. His energy seemed boundless.
What is Skarz up to now? and What is going on with D Asylum Band? Gailann, Benjai and Ninjitsu have all left (but that's another interview), now Skarz!! Entertainment Macco caught up with Skarz to get the scoop
Entertainment Macco: Who is Skarface?
Skarz: "The Street artiste...the people artiste.."
Entertainment Macco: Birthday/Sign?
Skarz: "I was born on the 7th of November 1978 which makes me a Scorpio also in the twelve tribe they say it’s the tribe of GAD"
Entertainment Macco: What is your Government name?
Skarz: “The name given to me by my grandmother is RENE DAVID CHARLES”
Entertainment Macco: Are you single/in a relationship or married?
Skarz:: “I am currently in a relationship and as I am who I am its complicated cause finding a lady in these times who understands your aim in the music life is hard because of the sacrifices you have to make, they ain’t really ready for it as much as you are”
Entertainment Macco: That is understandable...
Entertainment Macco: Do you have Children…if yes how many and do you plan on having more soon?
Skarz: “I have one daughter and plan on having more if the good Lord wants me to, it’s never a planned thing its always his plans so when I hear people regretting having children it just sucks to hear bcause they weren’t asked to be here, we brought them and they were all part of the masters plan so live with it.”
Entertainment Macco: How did you get the name Skarface?
Skarz: “Well Scarface is the name given to me by the people I grew up with in school to now but Sir Skarz is the name I grew into when I realized it’s really a scar on the mind of people I was brought here to leave in peoples’ minds.”
Entertainment Macco: Are you still a member of the Asylum band?
Skarz:“I am not a member of the asylum band no more cause after step 1 there is step 2”
Entertainment Macco: Did you leave or were you fired?
Skarz: “I left cause in a way it was like a fire under low but you need to read between the lines when someone is ready for change so I did.”
Entertainment Macco: Does it bother you that you are no longer performing with the band?
Skarz: “Nope it doesn’t bother me cause the band is not the band I started with any more… not the same vibes there no more… all the family love is gone, it was good while the real family was there together reaching for the dreams we wanted but those dreams were in the past we grew up and got bigger dreams now. So I might miss the fam but they ain’t there any more so to me there ain’t nothing to miss.”
Entertainment Macco: When Gailann, Benjai and Ninjitsu were all gone did you ever think to yourself “Damn, am I next”?
Skarz: “To me I never studied it cause I knew how the band thing goes”
Entertainment Macco: Do you think you would ever get back into the band scene?
Skarz: “Getting back into a band! I never think of it that way cause what we had was more than a band and for me to think about getting with a band it got to be the same thing like the love me and 3suns and Benjai carry it’s like we are a family band still by itself so when it comes to looking forward to just getting into a band again I don’t think I am really looking forward to that."
Entertainment Macco: What are some of the constraints you faced being a member of a band?
Skarz: “My biggest stress out I had in a band was the flying day after day used to have you worried sometimes.”

Entertainment Macco: Were you ever a part of 3Suns?
Skarz: “I started 3suns in school it was my group as i was the lead and also gave the group its name.”
Entertainment Macco: Alot of people definetly did not know this....
Entertainment Macco: Hear nah where does all your energy come from?…No joke you are like an energizer bunny man!!!
Skarz: “My energy comes from the spirit of the music if I can’t move in body or words that simply mean the music just ain’t the vibes I like.”
Entertainment Macco: What made you want to sing?
Skarz: “While growing up I grew with my uncles who were like DJs cause they had tons of music from every origin so it was in my blood since kindergarten I just loved it.”
Entertainment Macco: What is your biggest turn on in the opposite sex?
Skarz: “My biggest turn on of the opposite sex is a woman with nice eyes, hair and that not too over did heavy T but a well rounded one lol”
Entertainment Macco: Ah ha...Entertainment Macco: When u were or when looking for a mate did you look for someone in the industry or out of the industry?
Skarz: “Someone who understands the industry but is not a part of it.."
Entertainment Macco: Why?
Skarz: "It is easier that way.....if it isn't that way then little focus will be placed on the musical job"Entertainment Macco: Who is more successful, men or the women in the industry…why do you think so?
Skarz: "It is hard to say who is more successful since the industry is male dominated...it is the person who puts out the most....it shows...whether male or female"
Entertainment Macco: You made a good point.... Skarz: “Right now I am working at Shot Master J’s studio in Santa Rosa and also at one drop studios in NYC but the next drop will come out of Shots Studio produced by Orlando a great musician from Arima. It’s a track I call the “Gaza in yuh area” partially a reggae dancehall mixed with a little old school slows style…. something new I am trying.”
Entertainment Macco: For carnival I saw your performance at Dawn, it was great to see the Asylum members back together on stage, with the exception of Bunji…Benjai introduced you guys as the “Bomboclat Cult”, What was that about?
Skarz: “About that performance in dawn when you speak to Benjai you ask him.”
Entertainment Macco: We are real life maccos so we do not miss much…we noticed that since Fay Ann joined the Asylum band, Gailann (gone), Benjai (gone), Ninja (gone) and now you gone is that a coincidence?
Skarz: “Well it’s right in front your eyes, seeing the real members leave one by one so if its a coincidence I really ain’t sure…lol”
Entertainment Macco: In your industry what is your biggest pet peeve…that one thing that does real stress yuh out?
Skarz: "The lack of airplay...that fact that if you are not a big name then your music cannot and will not be played."
Entertainment Macco: Having been a member of a band for a long time would you encourage a new artiste to join a band?
Skarz: “I would encourage a new artist to explore their inner to the extent ….do whatever makes them feel good about themselves whether it be in a band or as a solo artiste just make sure you put your best foot forward and be always ready for the worst cause such is life bad things need to take place for good things to happen.”
Entertainment Macco: What are some of the challenges you face as a recording artiste in Trinidad?
Skarz: “The main challenges as a recording artist in Trinidad I would say is after you spend so much money on a tune and much time getting it as right as possible if you don’t have a big manager on your side or have DJs as real good friends it’s very hard to get your airplay if you ain’t part of the mafia.”
Entertainment Macco: I hear that!
Entertainment Macco: Do you feel that you able to reach your true potential while you were a member of asylum?
Skarz: “I didn’t reach my potential as a member of the Asylum because I was kept away just to perform my lil thing and go. All the different ideas I wanted to try were always put away I didn’t really get a chance but as I was about to leave and other people came on the scene I saw the same things I was told wouldn’t be right for me as our band was not a band for that. I started seeing them doing these things like singing certain dancehall and reggae sounds in the mix just as I once mentioned but no hard feelings I was to be what they wanted me to be”
Entertainment Macco: If you were not performing what else could you see yourself doing?
Skarz: “Well besides performing I was always in the line of sales…as I can speak and relate to people very well so I started back sales cause with me an income must come…lol”
Entertainment Macco: I know there are real life maccos out there…how do you keep your personal life and business life away from the maccos?
Skarz: “I got nothing to hide from anyone all you gotta remember in this life is the key words of Garnet Silk “Talk keep them talking” and as Machel Montano would say “Talk is cheap my people does talk cause they could talk...”
Entertainment Macco: Could not have said it better!
What the old crew looked like (kinda)

I missed the family vibes that that band use to bring
now the new family consist of busy/beenie/father and daughter
Anonymous #2 you so right, the vibes gone from D Asylum, i remember when Bunji, Benjai, Skarz would start on start and 3 Suns would join them, it was wicked vibes.....
Are you guys really surprised? Fay-Ann's ego is bigger than that entire band and she alone must have the spotlight.
Hopefully her second place results this year take her down a notch and removes that enormous chip off her shoulder.
No one is fighting down the band other than you Mrs Alvarez and if you don't humble yourself you will soon destroy all that your husband built. Yea your husband not you.
Lord oye I love this interview.....Skarz doh worry padner yuh eh need queen fay and pappa bunji
check check
she could always go back to invasion when asylum pop down, where naya?
The only person that don't realize Fayann is a Jumbie, is Bunji, the girl nasty, and kill she dead she special cause she single handedly destroyed D Asylum band, she spread rumors bought she own sister trying to destroy Terri cause Terri have more throat than she. I could go on and on but i like how Skarz deal with them, i bet yuh dem go want to cuss way Skar now.
TERRI HOTTER THAN FAY AND FAY IS AFRAID OF HER......EVERYBODY DON KNOW THAT...I NOTICE FAYANN NOT HELPING HER OWN SISTER SO FAR LESS FUH SCARZZZZ
Real hate for Fay boy, it really sad that Skarz with Asylum for so long and the man have no regrets leaving. EMacco allyuh need to interview Ninja and the rest of them I wonder if them leave for the same reasons. I use to real rate Bunji, the man never pass me no way, and since he get married, he don't even look in my directions.. People does change boy. Skarz boy you doing the right thing keep pushing.
the who;e terri hotter than fayeann is opinion
the whole faye spreading rumors about terri, wasnt terri spreading rumors about fayeann daughter?
i agree when she come on de scene is went from bunji and de asylym to fayanne and de asylum
went from trini locals, to lymin with de yardies
people evolve, but you dont step on family
I find allyuh loosing focus here, forget Terri and Fayanne,dem don't count, Allyuh ain't realize that just about all the original members of the Asylum gone in truth??? Respect to Skarz I wish the Brother well.
Presenting D Asylum Soap Opera Season 12
Wow its so true all the original member gone.somethimes thats how life is but GARLIN needs to step up and take control of his band..fayeann really feels she is d best but remember that birds that does fly high dont die high...is like Grlin fraid she,everyone can see that she is d man in d relationship..he is just a yes man garlin needs to open his eyes and see what going on cuz @ the end of the day it wud all fall and he wud hav his self to blame..look @ invasion....d girl cant sing good but quick to tlak bout brands.. when she had her one jeans she wasn't saying that?????
if yuh wat d session mash up to night tell dem call meh
why nobody aint put dey name.....alyuuh bommy...doh worry i bommy too yes....hahaha
Put yuh name?????? everybody who is anybody know that if Bunji and Fayanne don't do nothing else they does talk on stage, nobody don't want to call out so and then to top that Fay does call people and cuss them out and Bunji does call his Gunta partners, people want to live. It have real people that don't like that duo but won't say nothing.

This blog real pumpin, Entertainment Macco, you does real macco in truth yes!

Like Doesn't she mean Mrs. Lyons-Alvarez, but anyway Miss instead of telling people to kiss your ass maybe you should read some of the comments realize the road yuh going down is the wrong one and make some changes. Ignorance is bliss yes.
^^
I dont go into royal castle and tell you how to cook chicken
Somebody need to tell you and you need to listen (if this is really even you) but PAY ATTENTION
23 comments and non of them are positive, yuh dumber than you look yes. lol
girl i does listen to the customers about the chicken so Royal Castle could keep they reputation of having the best chicken in Trini,constructive criticism does help
Entertainment Macco, yuh win......... somebody say bachannal
28 it's easy to talk about me when you can hide behind your computer. guess who don't care
Like i said i dont come into your place and tell you what to do
I dont go in your man maxi and tell him how to conduct it
if you dont like me then feel free to continue
So i guess i will be commenting forever, Cause i can't stand you. You make me sick you not-accustomed, illiterate, fake fool, your whole attitude leaves a lot to be desired. cause if you are suppose to be a star and a role model what kinda example you setting. When you fall from that high horse you riding you will hit your head hard and you will take your whole family with you, so far you only destroy the Asylum band but you will destroy Bunji too.
You have so much talent but yuh don't have a clue what to do with it. read a book!
All this aggression and if that is really Queen Fay Ann commenting I am quite shocked and disappointed..maybe you should contact Entertainment Macco for ah interview..it sounds like you really want to be heard..all d best with ure career though you try to rep for the ladies..not all the time but sometimes..*sighs*
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha 31 & 32 it sold dey
Yeah... y fay ann doh find ent macco and give her side...
her side of what? steupessssssssssss this is how the interview will go
EM: So Fayann, why did you want to do this interview with EM
Fayann: To tell all the people who make there negative comments to kiss my ass cause i wear guchi and prada i don't care about none of them
EM: but Fay 1000 china men can't be wrong why does everybody hate you so?
Fayann: Because i am hot, i married Bunji, i kicked out skarz, Gailann and benjai so i could have the spotlight all to myself.
Bahhahahahhahahhahahahhahahahahahaah
@ #34: Her side of what? How to mash up 2 band in de shortest time possible? Dah girl is already he downfall and it only gettin worse
Aye! Allyuh! Mih name Ian bunji Alvarez-Lyons. Ah doh like how allyuh only fighting down meh queen. So what if she lil rough round de edges, materialistic, self-centered, mash up 2 ah she man band and might even be spawn from de devil seed. Dais meh queen and ah love she.
If allyuh doh stop ah will write ah song about allyuh...
Bwaaaaahahahahahaahahaha @ #35
and THIS people is how you do an interview!
Well after a long day at work this was a good laugh. As for Faye Ann (if it really is you), I am willing to help you out. I often tell my students, if you sound like a jackass when you open your mouth then shutdafackup! You should follow that advice. It will save you some of this public embarrassment that you bestow on yourself every time you speak. With all the money you made last year, hire a publicist or just someone stupider than you so you sound intelligent. You seem to think you can say whatever comes to mind (which in your case is not a smart move) because you have a mic in your hand. STOP IT!
Btw, I made sure you have my name so when you play brave to answer meh back you can address me appropriately.
@ Nalo comment " hire a publicist or just someone stupider than you so you sound intelligent."
THAT IS WHY SHE MARRIED BUNJI
I rate this interview..it is real and on point..the questions do not appear to be bacchanal questions and Scarkz responses were cautious but what we need to know..Although people may be putting Fay Ann on blast take time to appreciate the other responses..I look forward to much more from you Adanna..I do not know you but you are talented in your own way..the blog is brilliant
I love it
Well, nuff said. I go take a drink for this. Whey de puncheon?
"nooooo gyal cyah tek up my spotlight, ask meh sis n d one named gailann......." - heavy T remix
Thanks for all your comments!
@ Comment 26 & 31...How intelligent are you really? Fay-Ann had no clue about this interview, its contents or the comments, so how as it possible for her to put up that post.
Before getting yourself tied up in knots,investigate or do like EM and ask intelligent questions to the proper parties.
Skarz, I wish u all the best youth man. But you should come clean regarding why you was not traveling with the band. As a promoter who brought the band to NY, it was not profitable paying: your airfare, hotel, and meals when u really don't have contribution to the session.
How #46 sounding vex so?
@ Anonymous 46, HOW INTELLIGENT ARE YOU? how the hell any of us would know that Fay-Ann had no clue about the interview? and that it wasn't her responding. Post a comment with sense nah man, But what is fact is that there are like 40+ comments of people bashing Fay-Ann make note of that dude!
@46: Why you doh come clean! Skarz have nuttin to do wid de fact dat your fete buss. If Skarz says he left because it was a necessary move den that is what it is. Instead of kissing Faye Ann arse (as she so often requests), invest yuh money in a band dat make sense fuh yuh next session. Maybe people would come dis time.
# 46 look like ah knotty dread locks oui cah it seems as if he/she is d one dat gettin tie up... Fay Ann done see dem comments long time & probably givin bunji pressha 2 respond and probably writing ah song how people fighting dem dong.. Tralalala...
#46 is probably the Person dumber than Fay Ann that Nalo said she should hire.....lol
It has to be that because he/she (more likely he) run on the blog being all defensive and shit like he get paid...lmao lmao
@51: I guess Fay Ann isn't as dumb as she looks after al. LMAO!
@ 52 it's more like as she sounds, she don't look dumb to me but when she opens her mouth, jeezan ages have you ever heard some of the things she does say on interviews, She however does say nonsense so confidently if does sound like sense. LMAO
on another note what SCAR sing again? maybe he wasn't contributing hits to the camp and they didn't know how to fire him.
WTF @ all these comments....they are hilarious.......
Wah Scarz sing in trute...Maybe they did not allow him to make hits...he did say and i quote from this interview "I was to be what they wanted me to be”..So maybe he had wicked tunes but was not allowed to do him...
I never knew that Skarz started or was even a part of 3 Suns? You learn something new everyday
Fay really seem to have an attitude but c'mon ppl dis is only one side of d story all dis 'pussy' tlk is unnecessary.
Besides if so longgggggggggg Gailan Ninjitsu and even Scarz left d band and dem cah make ah hit yet only Benjai broke som grounds...wey d wicked tunes Scarz hav ain't he cud release dem nw no one stopping dem c'mon b real ppl. Dats hw music and band goes if u ain't getting airplay and nuff ppl aint requesting ur sounds dont expect d BOSS in dis case Garlin 2 let u sing ur songs. Scars free to make songs and release on radio and even d DJ 's dont play it so wat u want Garlin to do? B honest Fay gettin nuff airplay & deman mayb thy y Garlin letting she sings and it lookn like is she running d band. IS A BUSINESS D MAN RUNNING dere is somtin called DEMAND AND SUPPLY PPL.... I agree d look & vibes of d asylum change but change is inevitable som ppl like it som wont...face it Fay bring more money n dat band dan anyone of dem brought...thy hw d ting goes..Good luck Scarz move on and let us see ur talent PLZZZ!!!! We want hitss....
If Bunji them is part ah the mafia circle.....yuh eh think is only understandable that their music not playing on the radio....even if the tunes bad?
So they wud victimise Scarz and d one dear to d man heart his wife you will play her music...i listen 2 radio not ah dam day i ent hear d real ppl during carni call and request ah song from Scarz yet..Hw come dey play Fay and even Garlin songs?? I am jus taking it that you all dont like Bunji and Fay period...if ah tune big it will get played nt all radio stations is apart ah d mafia....Still waiting on Scarz to prove himself dem i will say other wise ah d same ting wit Ninjitsu Gailan etc.
58 you cannot be serious @ if a tune big it will get played....the number of big tunes I have heard that have never been played on the radio you have no idea......so that statement is not true @ all
59 your standards of big tune is not many ppl standards okay as far as i am concern Scarface d artiste dat was from d Asylum don't not have any big tunes dat aint touch radio yet...if u so love dem big tunes from Scarz den request it call out ur phone card and request it bdw i also listen 2 Iwer station which tries to let d underdogs get played and hmmm dats all i wud say.Stop trying to defend wat cannot b defended yes tings in d asylum changed and som ppl are loving it while others wont dat life for u. Fay ann whether she gotta an all dat attitude o not is a much bigger artiste dan all ah dem i named b4. D truth hurts but its still d truth. Even Garlin and Fay have tunes and so too Destra etc dat dey dont sing on stage cus it not a "BIGGGG" tune. So Scar i see no way u can blame ur little success on others is all u and if so it took u rather longg 2 leave dat band. NUff PPL i hear n party say SCARZ AH SING A WHOLE LOTTA NOICE AND HE RIDING OFF GARLIN DEM BACK sooooo.....
I agree that he does not have any huge tunes but he has songs worth listening too and the problem is that artiste like him do not get that forward...When he was riding hard with Asylum his songs used to be playing eh hun...on 96.1, 94.1, 96.7 and others... I eh no true Skarz supporter but i am simply saying that he was not given a chance as a member of the band to show off himself and do his thing....
I am not a Fay Ann basher or Bunji hater either....but the both ah them does sing real shit sometimes and it does be on the radio...are those "shit songs" BIG SONGS? I beg to argue NO....
I wish all the past members of the band all the best...
I see Mastamind doing his thing..
Benjai pushing through
3Suns and them still struggling but trying
Skarz toiling...
Ninjitsu about to do his reggae thing
There is hope for all those who not getting airplay if the playing field was level
What was he not allowed to do eh?? Scarz and all d rest of dem use to get to sing their one song dat use to get airplay every carnival?? Wat tunes worth listening Scarz never got to perform i think Scarz and all d rest of them jus thoughting dat Fay getting to sing rel songs and she wasnt there from d beginning. Wat song do Fay and Bunji sing dats rel shit and doh get love?? Wat shit songs dat get play i wanna knw?? And its nt ur opinion eh is d masses dat rule!! A band only has so and so time on each stage it ent have time to push and try to get anybody out day. Garlin dem struggling demselves to make sure dey stay one of d top bands if dem let dese men and woman sing dey aight and most time shit tune it go b another story ohhh asylum is rel shitt. Nuff ppl saying Fay who mashing up so Scars dem need to stop hating cus she getting more time on d mike dan dem!! Maybe d plan of d asylum at d begginning was 2 carry dat kinda vibes dey wit de original members but nw tings change and nuff ppl loving it....so all i can tell Scarz and dem all yuh join up and create bac dat vibes..all d bess to each one of dem but so far asylum on pt and Fay may have ann attityude but d sis hav talent! All artiste com wit dat nuff ting me hear bout Destra attitude, KMC Machel etc but dey stil ah level fete so promoters will call dem out.....One promoter even said on boom champions he will call for vybz kartel beenie man etc if no more Machel Destra Garlin KMC etc in d carnival and u cah vex wit d man cus face fact nuf ah alyuh trinis out dey nah going no party to see SCARZ and ah whole other heap ah artiste like him. Only culture foolers out dey. Dat party will buss...is a f'ked up industry and Scarz learn to play d game and stop blaming others. SCARZ NOT GIVEN AH CHANCE ah JOKE u joking stuepsss...plus his song were usually duets wit benjai o d entire group...no hard feeling Scarz do yuh ting and prove yuhself fuss
Look at commentssssssssssssssss? I eh find Skarz say anything outta the way for anyone to want to bash him...
Unfortunate that he had to leave to band..I feel he and the other artistes should start their own band.....
63 you are right, to me Skars didn't say nothing off key to me the man gave his opinion.
But the fact still remains that Fayanne attitude is what causing all these negative comments, not Skars interview, The interview just provided a forum for people to voice there opinions, and while the comments should be about Skarz, Skars is a little fish in a big pond. I hope the brother continue on his quest for greatest.
But Fayanne attitude, is what causing all this mess people don't like her and the one thing everyone has said is her attitude f'd up.
YOu tell me why i (a paying patron) deserve to go to a fete to hear my favorite artiste them sing and instead i have to hear Fay go on and on cussing up a girl in front the stage because the girl ask she where Garlin
or why this carnival, at tribe did i have to stand infront the stage to hear Fayann insist that bunji sing a line to another female that ask to borrow him for the night, Fay stop the set so bunji could reply to the girl. NO paying patron in the audience deserve that, it is probably why nuff people started to leave.
If Fay and Bunji out to dinner somewhere and someone approach them like that i would say that was damn disrespectful but when you are an entertainer and you doing your job i.e. entertaining then expect those kinda comments, and you can't vex because that is the job you choose.
So while i think this may not the be place to bash Fayanne after all it is a Skarz interview, maybe if she would adjust her attitude,then the negative spotlight wouldn't be on her so often.
But i don't remember the last time Fay name came up and i heard "I real like her" NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRR its always "i like her songs but i can't stand her."
and as for the big tune bullshit someone say above, everybody knows that big tunes don't get played in TRINIDAD, its big ARTISTE that get play, if you name ain't machel, destra, bunji, fayanne, (sometimes Shurwayne), Thank God Iwer have a station. you have to work reallllllllllllll hard for that airplay.
I hope EM do an interview with Bunji or Fayanne maybe we could see them in a different light.
Plain talk bad fn manners
Being apart of a band is business.... when traffik decide to leggo olatunji it was business.... when rita jones get drop and hire back by roy cape it was business....when asylum decide to stop ties with Benjai, gailann, ninjutsu and now Skarface even thought dem start off as a family like crew , it is business. people need to realise that.
Garlin doesn't owe anyone anything. Im a fan of scarface, i rate his energy, some of his songs and know him to be a good brother but honestly what band u see in the carib hiring him ............ah waiting for an answer?
Man was in de band for a good 6 years or so, tour and entertain de crowd on de strength of his family member garlin and de asylum band... at that point he shoulda branch off , cause no one stays in the same position....
we dont know if garlin tell de youth to step his game up, or whatever, but i think its unfair to say garlin did something wrong, or if fayeann is to blame.
I wish Scars all the best . Carnicarnicarnicarnicarnicarnicarnival!
Bless!
Or so Fay is d problem huh??.....I was there dat same night wen d woman ask to borrow Garlin for d night...ppl need to stop taking things personal geezzzzzzzzzzz....it was all fun ppl...same way wen Garlin was pelting lyrics on dem other artiste b4 soca monarch ppl totn feelings gosh ppl is all fun. Fay have an attitude and so too many entertainers from hollywood come straight back. Destra have attitude, Bunji, Machel and i can name..but in ah next sense dey all are gd ppl too nuff things good i hear about Fay ann. Is only dem small artiste u wudnt hear dis one like and dis want don't cus dem nah make it yet let dem reach nah and u will see. Wen u BIG it will always have haters. Scarz need to stop talking like Fay ann run all ah dem out d band ina smart way. Next ting i will hear Saucy totn feelings cus Bunji tell she he ent want she bend he pipe is kicks ppl gosh....dis looking like ppl hating dat two young black individuals come together and going strong. If dey were cussing and fightingg wit 50 diff woman and 10 diff man child in d middle crying......no daddy then unu go b happy...thy d industry life. Stop taking things to heart and enjoy d lyrics PICONG BACHANNAL CARNIVAL gosh........
@ 65 i fully agree step ur game up Scar Ninjitsu Gailan etc. is business not charity ppl. And is nt like if soca big like rnb or even dancehall. Soca still small so dem hadda come gd. Exactly 65 i sure Garlin nt making all d decision Pantin dey too he is manager........ppl jus doh like Fay ann so dem run dem mouth.
65 i fully agree is ah business not a charity case so Scarz dem needed to step up! Same for Gailann Ninjitsu etc. Fay ann stepping up follow suit and stop totn...Plus d soca industry small is nt like RNB or even REGGAE no space for sub parsss...Garlin alone nt making all d decision it have Pantin dey too step ur game Scarz prove yuhself do yuh tng but doh bring dwn no artiste name wit ur take blame for being unsuccessful
so for all the people talking about is a business, Why didn't bunji dem fire Skarz ? as a matter fact out of everybody that not dey no more how many of them got fired?
Maybe he just didnt have the gutts to do it since dat is or was is bredrins and for gailann sistrens or maybe he didnt want dem leave jus wasnt going to let dem make his band shittt by allowing dem to sing non hits and sub par music??? What's ur pt by dis question???
I feel it was like constructive dismissal...Garlin must be didn't have the balls to fire them...so he light a fire under the bridge and when the artiste started to feel the unbearable burning sensation they had to move.....
maybe 71..........EM shudd do an interview wit Garlin o Fay and done dis yes
My point is, if its a business then Skarz and who ever else that was singing subpar songs should have been fired. And since they won't fired then the point of Its a business and it is not a charity is a bunch of bull! Cause in business there is no friend.
IF Bunji and Fayann reading this i hope you do an interview with Entertainment Maco, serioulsy so that all these people that guessing and making up shit would stop.
73 so u not guessing and making up shittt??? True in business there is no friend but remember not all bosses go by dat rule...some use other means to get rid of someone they find useless...beside d Asylum aint no ordinary business...did letoya get fired from destiny's child NOOOOOOO dats hw its work in d entertainment business world dont like d rules leave d f'king band! Only Lisa Hype get fired outta Portmore hahaha!! Stop bending it ppl d bess ting was for Scarz to leave and 2 b honest him outta all of them shud b happy he ate food see places out of others skills. D TRUTH HURTS...i aint knw wat bunji fay do unu but guess wat dem large...all dis ting bout Terri better artiste dan Fay all ah dat ah whole heap ah f'ckery...terri doing she ting but plzzzz ppl doh make unu self obvious

Alot of people like Fay ann andd enjoy her music jus saying.... Scarz do yuh thing all d bess...stop hating on Fay ann and i sure dat was not Fay ann b4 lol cant believe ppl wud believe dat hahahahahahaha!
73 maybe he was trying to help him by telling him step his game up instead of letting him go without some kind of knowledge but instead Scarz feel d ting went like dis well 600 a.m since dem is artiste Fay ann walks in butt naked seduces Garlin with her quote"pussy" tells him to let Scarz go. Garlin next day pressure Scarz by all form and he is forced to leave. Look how long Scarz with d Asylum wat massive song he write and sang dat blew up....is he able to spit lyrics dat makes sense...and dont tellme Garlin been holding him dwn from day 1 from doing dis or else he is ah f'n jackassss to stay so long ina band like dat!

ok sorry didnt realise obscene lang was not prohibited EM..but in response to 80 in a more acceptable manner bdw dis is 77 and dis is not Fay ann so nothing is being taken personal am jus a lover of "GOOD" soca music..no need for all dat "pussy" shit..nt because d lady bigger than nuff of those former asylum insecure "dickheads"...if yall wanna call someone pussy hw bout yall mothers....Fay and Bunji if you all read dis keep creating good music and representing our country well...your fans love yall and we take our time to educate ourselves on all d good things you all are doing...keep the love flowing...Scarz to be honest not a fan of ur music and i dont see y u are blaming others for your little success as far as i see it ur talentless and aint going anywhere far but as a trini keep doing ur tng all d bess. Bdw 7 and 8 i hear terri spreading rel rumors on Fay too guess is a family dispute so dont go judging one over d other wen ur not either one of them k.
Thank you 83
Hear this:
u cant say skarface is talentless, cause that is not truth
If he was talentless he wouldnt get hired for gigs, which he still gets booked for , he wouldnt have been in a band.
some of the people responding keep going off target, the target is skarz and him exiting a band, and what he's doing next
Thats like if someone says farmer nappy is only around cause montano has him in his band, it may be truth but you cant say these people are talentless.Unfair to the artist,in my opinion
Every Man have a talent!
#85 so true, if he is talentless, he sure lasted long in Asylum for someone with no talent. On top of all that I don't know about the rest of people who comment eh , but i know for one, that i am on the outside looking in, so all i really have to go on is interviews like this that give some insight as to what happened. If what Skarz is saying is untrue it would be up to the rest of the folks in the band to come through and do an interview and clear the air.
Lemme see if I get this clear. 83 calls what Bunji and Faye Ann been singing lately "GOOD" MUSIC? Okay, the word good is subject to interpretation. So go brave with that description dear. But to put this in prospective, Skarz never said he left because of Faye Ann. Nor did he indicate that she was the reason for anyone else's departure (read the interview carefully). However, the implication still exists, especially if you are fan of The Godfather's Asylum.
As for Faye Ann, I have not read one comment that says she is lacks talent. However, people seem to be indicating that her onstage persona leaves alot to be desired. And as with every other artiste (including Machel), when you bring your nasty habits to the stage you will get endless jamming from the music fans. Not because they hate you, but because they expect better of you. And that is a natural consequence of being a role model.
For all those who seem to be getting upset and resorting to name calling and profanities, you are assuring me that you are true Faye Ann fans, because that is her style. And NO, it is not funny.
I really do hope that Faye Ann does take heed to what people are saying. If you expect to have any longevity in this business you need to be approachable by everyone. The fact that you are the "kiss my ass" queen, makes you someone who may not necessarily be going down the best path in her career.
I know that all the former members of the Asylum will continue to do well. As a music fan, I look forward to their contributions to the artform.
i think its unfair to say only big artiste get love on d airways..there are stations that play smaller artiste..hw come Buffy been getting all those love wen u have a big song you will get played...yes it will be easier for the big guns in the business will have it easier in doing so as in any genre or field in dis world..its an unfair world we live in..if Brian Lara walks in a cricket forum and say Lendl Simmons whose gonna be greeted warmer and given the best seat??..All d big names went through that same struggle to get where they are...life is a struggle sad but true....
Nw all the best to Scarz if some wrong was done to him those commiting it will pay who are we to judge..gd luck Scarz and all soca artiste out there!
Hmm dis is 83 well look at that checked n in time Mr. Nalo Lewis yes they have been singing good music especially Fay ann....dis year the music was not as good but it was the same for all artiste hence shown in the road march results so dont go blabbing about dis yr matter ah fact dis was a perfect year 4 Scarz to release those so called "big tunes" he got n his bag...That's the problem with society today that's why trinidad is experiencing a crime haven in dis country. I hope you are nt a parent Mr Lewis too much time we let ourselves and our children find role models from those we see on TV instead of parents teaching and becoming role models for their own kids we let Mavado , Machel, Fay etc to b dat leading factor...wen Movado sings shooy dis one and dat one dont b shock wen d youths do it. PPL WORLD entertainers those in front the camera are ppl TOO..some will be deadbeat dads jus as a carpenter..or a whorre jus like a housewife can b. Fay ann is not perfect she never will wat do you all look 4 n these ppl. Nuff artiste Curse look Destra and Saucy even fight a wile ah back..look i brace Fay ann in party and she responded well..nuff ladies including myself get hugs and photographs wit Bunji in fact som say he more approachable dan bac n d day...i wasnt d one calling anyone "pussy" eh jus saying...i was responding to those whose saying Fay jumbie dat she and causing all d original membas to leave and Scarz kinda cautiously indicated it eh so u take a second read...U may nt like Fay and Bunji music but b real d masses do...hw much cud say d same for Scarz?? Different ppl have different attitudes thats y d elders always say look for a compatible mate..if yuh blood doh take Fay ann stay away dats all.
Woooooooooooow real hate for the Garlins dem! why boy?
Ah hearing ah talk that garlin fixin yo do a song about the bad talk het get on this blog, should be interesting
OH Gosh, How much song Bunji go write about people fighting them down! LOLOLOLOL but EM yuh large, allyuh now start and song write bout allyuh already!
Come on Come on alreadyyyyyyyyyyyy who is next.....I want more juicy information....
i love this, the whole Macco thing, everything in trinidad is always a hush hush thing, maybe now when artiste realize they will get call out they will thing twice
Skars, bro...do yuh do. Yuh have a massive gift, king...persevere and de fruits go come. Might even make sense to review de markets yuh aiming at, seeing as dis country does slobber for seasonal music (which, in my humble view, should change if we are to see any change in the poor attitude radio stations show to local artists)it might make sense to push yuh music outward.
And as for allyuh who battlin for and against Mr & Mrs Alvarez, like if all ah allyuh was pitchin marble, huntin dove and eatin chow from small, this interview eh de place for dem outta-timin cussin and slander, seen? Yuh cud like or eh like ah artist, but until dem talk dey talk on dis blog, just stop it. It nuh helpin matters.
