EDITORS NOTE 

As months become weeks and weeks become days, we start to feel the vibrations of 

what’s to come. Like a child waiting on Christmas or the next birthday revellers starts to 

anticipate as designers start to show their art so as to entice those that are brave and 

bold, those who live for these moments. Trinidad, Jamaica, Domnica, Brazil to name a 

few as pass. The torch has been lit and button is in play Ibiza the new Soca playground 

is in full swing as bands are launching weekly and the fever of carnival is slowly but 

surely taking over the air. 2019 has seen a great change in the movement of soca not 

just on the level of the events but also in the actions of the artist and producers. For 

a genre that is still not recognised outside of the Caribbean or more so doesn’t leave 

each island, apart from seasonally, yes carnival time, this is when the rest of the world 

recognises this infectious sound and lose their insecurities and welcomes its.2019 as 

seen a vast production and music release not just targeting each islands carnival or just 

Trinidad carnival but just music been released as artists has realised the importance 

of giving the lovers of this sound new music they have now accepted that there’s a 

demand that they need to supply. Reminding those that are not always in tuned to 

the carnival spirit, apart for that bank holiday weekend in August, we say yes soca is a 

genre and carnival is always taking place somewhere in the world. The music needs to 

be recognized as a genre but the major platforms and labels because there’s a demand 

and a market for it, though not a huge as Reggae and dancehall of hip-hop and R&B 

but it just a matter of time.

BUSINESS 

the accounts navigator 

Written by: Tricia Blake 

In this month’s issue, we catch up with Award winning Accountant Andrea 

Richards of Accounts Navigator. 

At what age would you say you knew you were going to be an Accountant? 

I was 9. I Remember my mom was looking for a job. She would carry home 

the Evening Standard, And I’d go through it. I was always good at math in 

school, so my thing was what job am I going to do. And there was the word 

bookkeeper, I had to look up the word because I didn’t know what it meant, 

I looked at what a bookkeeper did, I was good at math and I’m money 

motivated. I was going to be a successful accountant earning big money. 

Are we there, a successful accountant earning big money? 

Well, I have my own accountancy practice, which I’ve been running for the 

last 15 years I’ve only ever worked within the accounts field so I think I am 

reaching my goals. 

What more do you think accounts navigator can achieve? 

Someone to take over, when I’m ready to retire, and do other things. I would 

love the business to continue to run and still get an income from it. 

Within the next five years are you looking to retire? 

No, I’m retiring in the next 12 years. I intend to retire by the time I’m 55. And 

so that is where I’m driving the business to, making sure there will be people 

to run business. 

Is there anybody that you think you’d be able to trust with your baby? 

It’s always hard to find someone you trust with your baby, but my aim as 

always been to promote from inside the business. Everyone that comes to 

me, learns a lot from me, and I want them to grow within the business and 

hopefully they’ll stay. the reward would be that they would be running this 

business at some point. 

7.


How big is the business? 

Currently there’s six of us in the office. Me the finance director, and then we 

have office manager Cassie Nixon, we have a qualified accountant position 

currently going, then we have our semi senior is Kadisha Madonna and our 

two bookkeepers. 

What are the different strands of Accountancy, how different people can 

pick up different sectors of your business? 

Accounts navigator associates offer retainer packages, which includes all 

accountancy services for small to medium sized business, we run a 12-month 

package that will cover all your bookkeeping, payroll, year end, and Company 

House requirements. We like to say we are your accounts department. We 

also offer individual services, some people just want payroll, some year end 

and some just want us to keep the flow of their company’s house stuff, we 

will do anything to help and assist a business grow. One of our main things is 

helping businesses grow, not just calculating their accounts. 

How do you help business grow? 

I tell all my clients for your business to grow, you need to understand 

the figures within your business. To understand your figures, rather than 

coming to us at the end of the year, and just letting us do your year end and 

submitting your accounts. At that stage, it’s too late for us to help, you’ve 

done your 12 months of business, and we can’t grow your business, all we’re 

doing is calculating your tax for HMRC. 

We have a thing called management accounts that we produce on a quarterly 

basis or monthly basis, depending on the size of the business, form that 

we can tell you what your business is doing, where you are at that standing 

point. If you are spending too much money, if you need to claw back money, 

we can make plans throughout the year regarding your business and help you 

grow it that way. 

I noticed that you got an award recently, how did that happen? The 

NatWest Awards? 

I don’t do awards normally, but it was put to me two days before the 

deadline, that I’d been nominated for a be mogul, which is a black enterprise 

mogul award by NatWest and Rich Fish and small business. I had two days 

to fill in the form, submit. I did that, someone nominated Me. A week later, I 

heard I was going to be a winner of a be Mogul which is really nice, because 

I’ve never done any form of awards for accounts navigator before. 

How did you find the experience, have you now got a thirst for it? 

Well, the person that nominated me, is pushing me to do more, she says I’m 

well deserving of these awards because of what I’ve been putting in over the 

last 15 years. 

8.


Definitely well deserved. Congratulations. So, did you do the whole awards? 

I had to do the awards, had to make speech. All those things were very 

daunting for me. I don’t do camera. I enjoyed it, we enjoyed the night, I 

bought the team along. It was a team effort. Everybody in my team works 

really hard. So, I thought it’d be nice for them. I actually got new clients from 

it all. 

What would you say has been your most valuable lesson throughout your 

15-year journey with accounts navigator? 

Expect that downs, it’s not going to be easy, when things don’t, go according 

to plan. Keep trying, keep trying and try again, it’s not being a smooth road 

these 15 years, when things do go wrong, you have to correct them and move 

on and move forward. But don’t give up. Just keep moving. 

Three words to describe yourself/Business? 

The Businesses is my team. I’m not even going to lie. I’ve trained my team 

Well; their knowledge does come from me and they still come to me for 

advice but I have a very good team. they can just get on with the job. I’m free 

to go on holiday, I’m free to leave these premises. 

How long did it take you to get to that? 

That took time. I’ve been running my business for 15 years. It’s only in the last 

seven years, I’ve employed staff. And the team has grown to this level, in the 

last four years. Now I’m working on my business rather than in my business. 

Thanks to the hard-working people in my team.

DANCEHALL 

BUZZ 

beenie g 

Written by: Mr Wondah 

Beenie G AKA Black Lion King A future legend of Dancehall Music and 

Ambassador of the music & culture. 

You currently have three tracks promoting, is this how you normally push 

you music or a new strategy? If yes what made you decide to work like this? 

No this is a new strategy, because each single is less than a year out, it is very 

important to constantly promote music as you get new listeners every day. 

Your latest single holiday is a collaboration, what inspired the track and 

how did the collaboration come about? 

The track was the brain child of Cio Soprano, who had the beat & idea and 

called me & told me he wanted to be involved. We developed the concept 

and wrote our verses and then linked up in the studio and made the magic 

happened. 

You have a song called broken silence, out now, what inspired that song and 

what as the response from the fans been like for the song? 

Broken Silence was a song that was inspired by my personal dreams & 

aspirations, it speaks to anyone who is ambitious of turning their dreams to 

reality, it is also of a pan African back ground. 

Means to me, is your other single out now, tell us about this song in terms 

of, what the song means to you, what inspired it and how you hope it will 

impact those who listen to it? 

Means to me expresses my love for the Black Woman, and shows that I 

appreciate her and treasure her over the vanity of the world, the song is 

meant to empower Black woman and pass on a feel-good feeling. 

14.


Living in London which is a melting pot of multiculturalism and diverse 

musical influence, how hard is it to remain true to your dancehall origins? 

Not hard at all, I was born & raised in Dancehall, I am Dancehall down to the 

way I speak, think, talk etc. However, living in London exposes me to different 

styles and culture which I embrace as that makes me a more versatile artist. 

If you do not realise your musical aspirations, what is your backup plan? 

My back up plan is Music, I am Music, it’s what I love, so worse case scenario 

if I am not successful as an artist, then I will still be involved in some aspect of 

the music & entertainment industry, my talent is a gift given from God, I have 

t use it, I can’t waste this gift which has the potential to change my life, my 

family & impact the world. 

What inspires your creativity? 

Life itself is my biggest inspiration. 

What is the one hope you have for the genre? 

We need an international label for Dancehall /Reggae Music to be published 

and distributed through, this is one of my long-term goals in the music & in 

life. Gods willing, I will make it happen. 

What do you which people will take away from your music, when they listen 

to it? 

I want them to think and take away the message, in all my song there is a 

message doesn’t matter the topic, I am the narrator the poet, the writer so I 

always want the listener to think and also feel entertained. 

If you could implement one change in the business, what would that change 

be and why? 

There are several changes that can improve the music, I think the main 

change would be more unity, if this happen we can make a greater impact on 

the world as the current generation of artist. 

How can we find your music and what are you socials? 

You can find my music on all major music platforms, YouTube, Spotify, 

Amazon, ITunes, Tidal etc.

SOCA BUZZ 

trini boi - man on a mission 

Written by: Mr Whondah 

Rodell Sorzano aka Triniboi Joocie, Born in Port of Spain Trinidad & Tobago 

resides in the United Kingdom. 

Describe how you felt the first time you heard one of your songs played in 

public? 

Was very excited yet nervous to see peoples reaction ro the song. I was lucky 

enough to hear it on radio before in the party so I had an advantage. 

What’s the name of the song and how did it come about? 

Easy Fame - was the first official Soca track I recorded .. The message behind 

the project was norhing comes easy u need to work hard in order to achieve. 

Talking about my journey thus far at the time and what sacrifices I needed to 

make in order to make it. 

Bed ah Rose is your latest single, it seems to be more reflective song. What 

inspired this? 

Similar to easy fame.. Bed ah roses is a mature piece of work. Again reflecting 

on my journey and rather than singing a party tune I wanted to create 

something which reflects of what I’m facing as an up coming artist within 

this industry. 

How is the song being received? 

Locally the response have been overwhelming people loving the positive 

message behind the project and anticipating the visuals for the project. Next 

step is to market the life out of the project so it gain international recognition. 

What is your expectations for this song? 

My aim for this project is to show a mature side of me both with the music 

and the lyrical content.. Which ive achieved wirh the record my next aim is to 

get it out there and Hoepfully reach the masses. 

22.


As a soca artist in the Uk name one thing you’d make compulsory in the 

industry if you have the power? 

Let the artist be artist and dj be dj.. Alot of the time music go under the 

carpet not because the project isn’t good enough but because it gets lost in 

the scene because of egos and association. Play the tune if it big!! 

Are you a Red or a Blue, (if not which 

chose one)? Savory or Sweet. 

Red forever (Glory Glory United!!) and 

Savoury for sure!! 

What’s the most interesting thing about 

you that we wouldn’t learn from your 

music? 

That I love to micro manage because 

I’m a perfectionist! 

Carnival 2019 are you ok the road? 

(Nothing hill) 

Of course I will be base with ebony Mas 

celebrating Ebony Steelband 50years 

anniversary..but will also be floating 

through a range of bands performing my 

catalogue. 

Name one thing you would make compulsory in the industry and one thing 

you would chang and why? 

Compulsory - every Soca event in the UK must feature a local artist in order to 

raise their profile. 

Change - have alot more organised between organisations!!! 

Is music your only job? In the case that you do not realize all your dreams 

through music, do you have a backup plan? 

Yes music is my living but I am also a qualified teacher so.. I wouldn’t call it a 

backup plan but I say it keeps funds at float. 

What’s up with you for the rest of the year? 

It’s probably going to be one of the busiest years for me travelling alot in 

Europe Ie (Denmark, Rotterdam, Norway and Paris just to name a few as well 

as in the caribbean so keep your eyes peeled @triniboijoocie

BEAT LIKE A 

CARNIVAL 

QUEEN 

BY SASHA CROSS 

Everyone wants to look their best during carnival, they’re all types of 

attention...media, spectators, fellow Masqueraders and not to mention the 

eye candy! Having long-lasting makeup would be one of the top scorers on 

the list. 

1. Skin Preparation 

First things first, ensure you are using a suitable moisturiser for your skin 

otherwise you may find that your foundation gets oily quickly or your skin 

may become dry. Queens with: 

Oily & Combination - skin types should use a lightweight oil balancing/ 

controlling lotion, even better if that lotion offers hydration, quite often 

people who think they have oily skin actually have dehydrated skin, as the 

skin lacks water so the skin creates more Sebum (oil) to compensate! 

Pro Tip: People with Oily skin should stay clear of silicone based primer as 

they tend to make skin oily after a period of time. There are a few different 

primers on the market that are water based, silica based, clay based, etc. 

Normal & Dry - skin types should use a hydrating daily moisturiser, this should 

keep the skin hydrated all day and create a perfect base for your makeup. 

Extra dry skin types should use a moisturising/ nourishing lotion. 

Pro Tip: Wait a few mins for moisturiser to settle in skin before applying the 

primer. Although you may have dry skin, do not overload the skin with too 

much product - skin should not feel sticky! 

Sensitive - skin types should use a soothing-calming moisturiser free from 

preservatives and perfumes. 

29.


Pro Tip: Stick to Hypoallergenic/ paraben-free /organic products to get 

the best of out your skin and makeup. Use a Silica or crème based primer 

to apply after your moisturiser, this should make your makeup last without 

causing your skin to react. 

2. Foundation 

Choosing the right foundation is vital to having 

makeup that lasts as long as possible, especially 

in hot weather conditions. When choosing 

consider: 

Shade: Ensure your foundation matches your 

neck and chest. Those beauties that suffers from 

hyper-pigmentation and your neck is slightly 

darker than your chest and face (very common 

in darker skin tones), match the foundation 

shade to your chest and blend into your neck to 

even out the colour. 

Texture: We all have our preferences on how we like our skin to look, however 

if you want to stay looking flawless and shine-free going for an ‘Sheer’ or 

‘Illuminous’ foundation isn’t the best idea, especially as you’re going to be 

dancing and working up a sweat. 

Oily, combination and normal - you’d be better off using a ‘Natural-matte’ 

foundation or ‘Matte’ liquid/powder foundation, both with medium to full 

coverage. 

Dry and sensitive - using a ‘velvet-smooth’ foundation with medium-full 

coverage would be perfect. 

Pro Tip: After applying your foundation, spray a makeup fixing spray all 

over face to add extra longevity to your makeup. 

3. Eyes 

Before applying your eyeshadow be sure to apply an eyelid primer to give 

it something to adhere to. Missing this step will result in creases and even 

the disappearance of your eyeshadow. Definitely worth the extra time and 

expense, this will be the difference between vivid colour, and colour that 

you can barely see. There are many different products that can be used as a 

Primer to bring out the colour in your eyeshadow and to increase longevity. 

You can use concealer, eye pencil, cream eyeshadow - as long as its 3-4 

shades lighter than your complexion or white/cream, it will enhance colour! 

FYI, I would suggest doing your eye makeup before your foundation to avoid 

ruining your foundation, as eye shadow tends to fall down onto the face. 

30.


Pro Tip: Ensure you apply and blend evenly. Eyelids should not look caked 

with product. 

4. Lips 

There are many different textures and finishes 

when it comes to lip colour. Which are: Matte (also 

liquid), Lustre, Satin, Frost, Creme, Tinted, Gloss. 

Think about which texture/finish you desire, this 

can be a major factor in terms of long-lasting 

lips! For instance, Matte textures tend to last a 

lot longer on the lips then a Lustre finish - simply 

because matte lipsticks adhere to your lips and 

dries completely leaving no sheen or moisture, 

whereas, lustre or moisturising lipsticks tend to 

be absorbed a lot quicker or can transfer when 

drinking or eating. I personally prefer to use Matte 

or Satin textures for carnival...just saying. 

Pro Tip: Regardless of which texture you go for 

always remember to, not only, line the lips but also colour the entire lips 

with a lip pencil before applying your lipstick/lip gloss. Be sure to choose a 

colour that mimics your desire lipstick/gloss. If you are planning on going 

for an Ombre effect you will need to have 2 pencil shades and ensure the 

entire lip has been covered with pencil. 

Pigmented Lips: For those ladies that have Naturally darker lips 

(pigmented), instead of using the lip pencil on entire lip, you can add 

foundation to your lips, this will give you a neutral base for your lip stick 

and also act as a lip primer (would not recommend if using a lip gloss). 

NOTE: Do NOT apply too much foundation and make sure you blend it in 

properly - lips should not feel wet.

dental care

In this week’s article we will be sharing with you some useful tips on tooth 

brushing and using a dental floss or otherwise. Tooth brushing and flossing 

goes hand in hand in order to maintain a very good oral mouth care. Using 

the correct technique in tooth brushing is of utmost importance. 

Use fluoride toothpaste that has 1450ppm from children 3 years to adults 

(check on the package). Again the brand of toothpaste is your preference. 

Use a pea size amount of toothpaste. 

Use a soft bristle toothbrush with a medium head. This will give you easier 

access to all the areas in the mouth. 

Always hold your toothbrush at a 45 degree angle towards the gum line. 

• When brushing your teeth move the tooth brush back and forth very 

gently within a circular movement over all the surfaces of your teeth top 

and bottom. 

• Don’t forget to always brush your tongue as well. 

• Hard brushing is not ideal. This will cause irritation and recession along 

the gum lines. 

• Remember to reach those surfaces that are easy to be missed especially 

at the inside of the bottom teeth. 

• It is advisable to floss your teeth before you brush them in the same 

session. 

• Brushing is done for two minutes at a time, twice a day, morning and

night time before bed. Please make sure after night time brushing do not 

have anything to eat or drink except plain water. 

• After brushing spit out the excess toothpaste do not rinse your mouth 

out because you will be rinsing the fluoride away which is there to 

protect your teeth from decay. 

• If you like to use mouth wash use it 30 minutes to an hour after brushing 

and it would be recommendable to use an alcohol free one. 

• The bristles on the tooth brush should be small to medium in size 

enabling easier access. 

• Personally there is not much difference in using a manual or an electric 

tooth brush. This is dependent on your personal preference. 

I hope these tips were found to be very useful to you. See you next time.
