Dancehall deejay Moses Davis, aka Beenie Man, refuses to sit and twiddle his thumbs while he plays the waiting game with the United States embassy, which recently revoked both his work permit and his visitor's visa to that country. "He's doing a lot of recordings ... not just locally, but also for several foreign-based producers," his ultra-elusive manager, Blue, told Splash.
Moses is in the studio voicing right now. I don't want to interrupt, because it will throw him off," Blue explained, managing to sound apologetic.Actually, it was quite an experience just having a conversation with Blue via telephone, as he truly deserves his reputation of not answering his cellphone. But on Tuesday, Blue was all charm and chatter as he hastily dismissed all suggestions that Beenie Man was singing the blues.According to Blue, who is also Beenie's brother, the two were at Renaissance's studio because the deejay woke up that morning "with a song in him head" and he just had to get it out.
"We usually work at our studio, 357, but he needed to do this fast and this studio is just down the road," Blue said, adding that Beenie has been really very busy. "He has new songs out and they are doing very well ... the deejay is building his repertoire and staying current," Blue said.
However, he did admit that the lack of a US work permit had affected their earnings, but an upbeat Blue noted the artiste was still travelling overseas as the doors to the Caribbean, Europe and South America remained open and the welcome mat was out. And, of course, there was the revelation from Blue that the Almighty is always looking out for those He favours.
"God a work with we," Blue testified solemnly and with bountiful conviction. "We always had Caribbean dates ... and South America ... but it come in like we getting more of dem dates deh since this thing (the visa revocation) happen," he explained.
