BENJY MYAZ CONTINUES TO CHASE THE CREATIVITY
Friday, November 27, 2009   - Yasmine Peru

According to musician, vocalist, song-writer Benjy Myaz, "A fine line separates musicians who play music to live and those who live to play music. I live to play music . it is my life."

And that, on one level, sums up Benjy Myaz. But on another level there is so much more to this intense musical being. Reclusive is one word that readily comes to mind to describe Benjy, and that's because he's usually locked away in the studio, doing what he does best. But Benjy is also a man with a few passions other than music, one of which is giving back.With the release of his latest CD, Benjy Myaz: You've Got Me, the artiste made known his intention at his recent album launch to channel part-proceeds to the local association for autism, headed by journalist Maia Chung. According to Benjy, "God has given me a mission. This idea has been in my heart for a long time . ever since I participated in the Telefood Project with Jimmy Cliff some years ago."He pledged his total commitment to this effort, even to the extent of seeking funding for the organisation through agencies such as UNICEF. Benjy feels that this CD, with its calming, healing music, is the perfect vehicle for this special project. "Oh . and it's also the perfect Christmas gift," he added.Benjy, not surprisingly, is a firm believer in the power of music to effect change and speaks passionately about the need for music lessons to be a part of every child's experience in school. "Music will lick out this Gaza/Gully thing," he said. "We need to give our children music sheets and teach them to read music. Every primary school child needs to have a recorder and start out playing One Note Boogie," he said explaining the importance of learning that one note. "It teaches consistency and discipline."He reminisced on his days at Herbert Morrison High School and the lasting effect of the music curriculum there on his own life achievements. "After perfecting One Note Boogie, we were then moved to to actually playing the recorder and then we got the opportunity to join the school band," the musician recalled.Herbert Morrison, from as early as 1976, benefitted from a union with Indiana State University which would send music teachers to assist with the curriculum. Myaz stated, with immense pride, that 75 - 80 per cent of the touring musicians are products of Herbert Morrison High.A bass player extraordinaire, Myaz, while a member of the Riddim Kings Band, toured with several artistes, including Jimmy Cliff, Culture, Toots and the Maytals, Shinehead and JC Lodge. He was also the bassist for the chorale Sounds Of Blackness.His newest offering, You've Got Me, is the first album of its kind ever produced in Jamaica, featuring the sound of the bass as the lead instrument.He says this instrumental album was a special challenge as he "continues to chase the creativity . not the competition".Benjy states in the liner notes, "Over the years, musical geniuses such as Jaco Pastorious, Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, John Pattatucci, to name a few, have advanced the technique of utilising the bass, not only as a root instrument, but also to hold together the melody of a song. With this influence, I was challenged to do so within the genre of my own musical accomplishment."You've Got Me has been on the threshhold since 1993, and as Benjy points out, he has since completed an average of one song per year on this 16-track composition.
"It's been a long time in the making," he admits, "and it came out capturing my many moods over the years."

Benjy Myaz supports autism cause with new album

Published: Sunday | November 22, 2009

Multi-instrumentalist and singer Benjy Myaz (who plans on adding drums to his playing credentials) officially presented his latest album, You've Got Me, to the public last Wednesday evening.There were praises all around for Myaz at Waterfalls, Liguanea, St Andrew. The speakers included Jamaica Federation of Musicians president, Desmond Young; Broadcasting Commission chairman, Cordel Green; Dr The Reverend Alvin Bailey; and broadcaster Patrick LaFayette.The last ran through some of the album's 16 songs with his recorded opinions on the songs and, as clips of each was played, bounced on his toes and occasionally added an enthusiastic live comment to what he had already set down for posterity.So the title track You've Got Me was deemed "an invitation to a meal well prepared and served", while Between the Sheets (featuring Howard Messam) is "powerfully sexy". With the bass guitar and saxophone sharing lead billing, Lafayette said "the bass is mature, not intimidated or daunted".'big tune!'"The music jus' push up itself in your face," LaFayette recorded about Down in Jamaica, adding a joyful, "big tune"! as the music was played. Time Together was dubbed "a fitting representation of a time well spent together", while the mood and tempo of Intimate Relationship Pt 2 supplied the environment for intimate thoughts and words."One thing you will discover as you go through is that Benjy is a brilliant musician," LaFayette said.However, by far the evening's most touching public input came from Maia Chung, whose Autism and Disabilities Foundation is slated for a financial shot in the arm from You've Got Me. "I am touched. It has been a very difficult road to get money to support autism causes in Jamaica," she said.With immense financial burden placed on the parents of autistic children, Chung said there are people literally dying of hunger because they cannot leave their autistic child to go out and work. She added that women were also considering prostitution because of the sheer financial need.autistic child killedShe pointed to a 2007 case of a six year old being beaten to death because the adult did not know what autism was and thought the child was simply being rude. Chung enlightened those present, who may not have known the signs of autism, that it is characterised by repetitive behaviour, rocking and flapping motion and delayed speech."It is neurological, so the child can come across as being spoilt," Chung said.She said the work of the foundation is hard and she is supported by a strong team and people, like Myaz, who stepped in out of the blue."I am looking forward to the success of this album for many reasons," Chung said, to laughter. "Thank you for being such a great guy," she said directly to Myaz.In the question-and-answer segment of the launch, Myaz said he chose to contribute towards the autism cause based on his personal musical experience. "Autism is something I have seen. I have seen musicians and after a while I figured there was something going on," he said.He added, to murmurs of assent from members of the audience, that "a lot of musicians who are autistic are very talented", this including young children. He is very much into teaching and "to see autistic musicians play is a joy. I like to see them on keyboards. They remember everything."Myaz also intends to support relief efforts in Darfur with proceeds from You've Got Me.

SAYS CORDEL GREEN
By Basil Walters Observer staff reporter 
Friday, November 20, 2009


While hailing Myaz is an artiste whose outlook defies the spurious argument that artistes should just give the people what thay want, executive director of the Broadcasting Commission, Cordel Green asserted that there are mercenaries in the country's pop culture.After quoting from Bob Marley's Zimbabwe; "...soon we'll find out who are the real revolutionaries. And I don't want my people to be tricked by mercenaries", Green declared: "today, there are mercenaries in the leadership of Jamaica's popular culture - populists who are pursuing personal agendas for self-aggrandisement, while pretending to be concerned about and supportive of the masses."
Benjy Myaz

Citing Myaz as a catalyst whose mantra separates him from musicians who play music to live and those who live to play music, Green argued the notion that artistes are simply a reflection of society is false 
and misleading."They (the artistes) do not only 'reflect', they influence. If it were otherwise, they would never be as powerful as they are," the Broadcasting Commission's official told members of the press and music fraternity at the launch of Benjy Myaz's fourth album, You've Got Me, at the Waterfall on Wednesday evening."Artistes love their individual world view, philosophy and ideologies which shape the messages they create, influence their fans and direct culture in various ways," the guest speaker added.Lauding Myaz as a disciplined, accomplished arranger, songwriter, performer, producer, and musician extraordinaire, Green expressed concern about the unveiling of the album, if it would receive its true critical acclaim and exposure."This is because," he said, "the media and the country are very busily engaged in a debate about music, which unfortunately is limited to a feud between two deejays, while relegating other talented constructive artistes to a footnote."Speaking as the musical ombudsman of sorts, Cordel Green - in obvious reference to the ongoing Gully/Gaza saga - added; "Some of you might expect me to address this feud in some detail. I will not. For the simple reason that I refuse to focus attention on the wrong set of artistes, or to feed into what is a contrived, vicious, circular, and irresponsibly dangerous PR stunt."The president of the Jamaica Federation of Musicians, Desmond Young also appealed to the local media to give Benjy Myaz's latest set the exposure it deserves. "Aside from the negatives that our media often exposed in terms of Jamaican music, a production like this I hope will be given maximum exposure. and push an artiste like Benjy Myaz to the fore," said Young.Proceeds from the sale of You've Got Me will help children suffering from autism in Jamaica as well as starving kids in Darfur, Africa. "Autism is really prevalent here in Jamaica and I have been operating my foundation for just under two years and then Benjy made contact with us. and I believe that just putting such a fantastic piece of music behind the cause of autism will stand as testimony for your work. I am touched because I believe it's really a difficult road to get support for autism's causes, instititions, families here in Jamaica," said the Autism Foundation of Jamaica's Mia Chung who was roundly applauded.A commentary on the album was given by broadcaster, motivational speaker and CEO of Twin Audio Network, Patrick Lafayette. But before that, the audio producer quipped: "Mi nah pay a cent to no disc jockey fi play my music. I think it's a travesty. One should not, after one spent so much money to produce one's music..."It was soon time for Benjy Myaz to extend his appreciation ahead of engaging his guests with a brief highlight of his musical journey, climaxing with a short stint playing cuts from his instrumental set, You've Got Me.

Benjy Myaz takes two years for 'Higher' start

Myaz stays 'Hooked' on dancehall
Published: Sunday | August 30, 2009
Mel Cooke, Gleaner Writer
Recording Love You Higher took Benjy Myaz a year. And actually getting around to releasing it took another year. Then another year passed before it was released on his debut album, Intimate Relationship.Still, that three-year period, from recording in 1994 to including the Randy Crawford remake on the musician turned vocalist's (but still very much the musician) first full-length album in 1997, falls short of the time Myaz was singing Love You Higher on the north coast circuit.He had been delivering the song on the cabaret circuit since 1986. And to say that he put the song down on tape is not quite accurate. It did get to tape eventually (Tony Holness played Love You Higher from cassette when it was first played on the radio), but Myaz recorded the song the digital way at 93 East Studio in downtown Kingston."It was done at the only digital studio in Jamaica at the time," Myaz said, crediting Trevor Bailey for getting him into digital recording.He took his time recording and releasing Love You Higher as "it was my first piece (as a vocalist) coming out. It was important to get all the elements together". Those included jazz, R&B and rootsreggae "as well as listening to the voice over and over again to make sure"."It was important to get it right," Myaz emphasised to The Sunday Gleaner.He had long had the arrangement pat when he started recording, but called in Paul Kastick to programme the drums just right (Myaz points out that there is a 'Bob Marley style' at the beginning), Andrew Simpson played rhythm and R&B-style guitars, while he played bass guitar and keyboards, with additional keyboards by Christopher Birch. Junior Jazz did the backing vocals.The mixing was done with Lynford 'Fatta' Marshall at Mixing Lab, where the saxophone was done by Howard Messam. Then came the next year before Myaz finally released Love You Higher."It was mixed and in my vehicle for about a year. I was still playing bass, travelling with Jimmy Cliff," Myaz said. And there was something else. "I was learning the song as well, how to sing it on the real reggae rock, not the north coast," Myaz said.hit on his handsIt was generation next which made him realise that he had a hit on his hands, as his daughter started picking up on the chorus.After Tony Holness debuted Love You Higher on radio from a cassette, Myaz did a 'test press' of the song, cutting six records and sending them out without labels. When Donovan Dacres played the song in a Mystery Voice feature on JBC Radio One, nobody could guess who the singer was.Love You Higher, released on Valentine's Day, 1996, properly labelled and all, quickly made an impact and has gone on to be an enduring love song in the annals of Jamaican music. It did not hit the upper echelons of the charts, though, Myaz saying that it moved in stages from number 40 to just under the top 10.And was stopped by payola - or the lack thereof."I did not get involved because I did not have the resources or the intention to take my career like that," Myaz told The Sunday Gleaner, adding that he does not believe he should spend money to produce a good quality song and then pay more to have it played on radio.chasing the creativityAnd he pointed that "I have never been one to watch the charts that way", explaining that for him, music was not just about what was popular. A slogan on his website states "chasing the creativity, not the competition".Myaz said he was "very fortunate and happy" to not only meet Randy Crawford, but to also perform with her in 2002 at Jamaica House, where "I did my second verse and she did her first verse". While that performance was "intimate", the 2000 Reggae Sumfest International Night performance was "wow!""People kept stopping the song, kept pulling up," Myaz said. And a scrapbook shot on his website shows a newspaper clipping of Myaz, hand in the air, under the headline 'Sumfest 2000 ends on high note'."And that song is still getting forward," Myaz said.

Myaz stays 'Hooked' on dancehall
Published: Sunday | August 30, 2009
Mel Cooke, Gleaner Writer
Benjy Myaz said when he recorded Love You Higher, "I ended up playing not live bass, but synthesiser bass". It was a strategic move to keep the song relevant to the dancehall.Myaz makes it clear that for him, dancehall is not a beat, but a space, and Love You Higher is a dancehall song. So is Hooked On You, his new song which will be released in mid-September. "We have done the video and we are very excited," Myaz told The Sunday Gleaner. In addition, he says it has been getting good rotation on a number of radio stations.live musicIn the mid-1990s, when Myaz was recording Love You Higher, he says the digitised Steelie and Cleavie sound was closing out and live music was coming back to the forefront. Myaz chose to go with what was seeming to fade, rather than the sound that was apparently on the rise."I wanted to stay in the dancehall. I wanted to put the sound system vibe into it," Myaz said. He said that Time is another street hit that got a lot of play in the dancehall, while Show Your Lovehad a different feel.He has put another influence into one mix of Hooked On You, as "I've been listening to a lot of dub in recent years". These include songs by Agustus Pablo, Sly and Robbie and Scientist. So he has done a 'radio bounce' of the song for the airwaves and a 'street bounce' for the sound systems."This particular mix is a reflection of where my mind was," Myaz said.And his mind is not going back to what he could have done to make Love You Higher any better, as "I would not change Love You Higher for anything". Still, "there are things I could have sung better".Myaz said he has learnt "to be bothered more by my expression than my notes. Some people are perfect, but have no feeling. I am still a perfect pitch person in my ears, but I have learnt to let go of that".And then there are the fans, who will merrily sing along, feeling expression much more than note-perfect singing.- Mel Cooke

BENJY MYAZ HOLDS TOP 5 PLACES 

August 17, 2009 

http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/magazines/Entertainment/html/20090816T210000-0500_157609_OBS_BENJY_MYAZ_HOLDS_TOP___PLACES_ON_INTERNET_CHART__TO_RELEASE_NEW_ALBUM.asp

Benjy Myaz has, consistently, been on the charts of TheBeat.FM (www.thebeat.fm) Internet Radio for the past year.  He now occupies numbers one through five on their “Top 20 Singles Chart”; and is holding down the number three spot on the “Top 10 Artists” list.  Based in San Diego, California, USA, TheBeat.FM boasts a listenership of approximately seven million persons, worldwide.....

Occupying the number 1 spot is the ever-green hit “Love You Higher”; followed by the also famous, “Time” – nine years after its release.  “Slow Down” is, currently, at number 3; followed by “How ‘Bout Us” and “Eternal Love” in 4th and 5th positions, respectively.  The statistics reflect a total of 7,375 plays, for all five songs since Benjy became a member of TheBeat.FM in the summer of 2006. ....

“Love You Higher”, now considered as a classic in the annals of Reggae music, was originally released as a single in Jamaica in 1995.  It then appeared on his début Album, “Intimate Relationship” which was released in the U.S. in 1997.  The album captures the spirit of love within.  Produced and arranged by Benjy Myaz, the album announced his entrance into the musical arena as a vocalist. ....

His second album, “Time Together”, released in Jamaica and Japan in 1998 and the U.S. in 2000 (VP Records) features both “Time” and “Slow Down” as two, of the fourteen, Reggae/Lovers’ Rock tracks.  With writing, arrangements and productions coming from Benjy Myaz, one can only say that even with the cover versions, he comes with a unique sound, and for sure, a different attitude.....

His 2008 release, “Eternal Love” on his My’Werks label (featuring the power-filled voice of A’Lisa on this single), is a delightful duet, showing off the vocal ranges of both artistes.  ....

“How ‘Bout Us” comes from his new instrumental album, “You’ve Got Me”, the first of its kind ever produced in Jamaica – featuring the sound of the Bass as the lead instrument up front.  Release date has been set for September, 2009.  This is what Myaz has to say about the album, “Over the years, musical geniuses such as Jaco Pastorious, Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, John Pattatucci, to name a few, have advanced the technique of utilizing the bass, not only as a root instrument, but also to hold together the melody of a song.  With this influence, I was challenged to do so within the genre of my own musical accomplishments.  This album has been the threshold since 1993, crossing the parameters of genre.  With influences coming from so many styles it’s very hard to place exactly where this project fits but it’s fused and it’s been a long time in the making and came out capturing my many moods over the years.”  ....

With songs spanning a period of fourteen years (1996-present), varying in genres, and in occupation of the top 5 places on TheBeat.FM; Benjy not only validates the much-stated sentiment as “one of Jamaica’s most talented recording and performing artistes...bassist and vocalist”; but also that “things of quality have no fear of time”.  Benjy continues to “chase the creativity...not the competition”.

LIVE MUSIC AT ITS BEST FROM BENJY MYAZ AND FRIENDS
Basil WaltersFriday, June 19, 2009
For singer, musician, producer Benjy Myaz, it has all come full circle, and that is the revival of jam-sessions where musicians perform in small, informal spaces. It was in this setting, he along with friends, gave a celebratory performance at Christopher's Jazz Cafe located inside the Quad in New Kingston, last Thursday
               Myaz. a picture of consistency
Whether on vocals or on the bass guitar, the versatile entertainer was at his best during his stint at the event he hosted a week ago in keeping with the re-emerging trend of live music. Smooth jazz blending with reggae and R&B seldom sounded better.In casual wear reflecting his laid-back mood, Benjy Myaz was a picture of consistency as he repeatedly provided a texture of easy-listening grooves. To be on the receiving end of his musical styling of old jazz standards like Teach Me Tonight, R&B stuff such as People Make the World Go Round, Bob Marley's Turn Your Light Down Low, Small Axe and Get Up Stand Up, was an experience to cherish.Tugging at the strings of his favourite guitar, Myaz continued to strike the right chords on The Closer I Get to You and What's Going On. Every now and then the eclectic performer would diversify his musical menu by displaying his vocal efficacy with offerings such as his 1995 reggae cover of Randy Crawford's smash Love Me Higher, via which he broke into the mainstream idiom, Till The End of Time, Love Has Found Its Way, with a few originals like Lovers Paradise and Time thrown in for good measure. His segment in tribute to rocksteady was also appealing and his duets with special female vocalists Leiba and Alisa, with whom he performed Give A Little More Loving and Eternal Love were no less entertaining.For the patrons, the rendition of Eternal Love was a sneak preview of the single to be out shortly featuring Alisa. The duet will be released by Music Werks Productions. In her own right Alisa enlivened the gig with Stepping Out of Babylon and Vice Versa Love. And so was Leiba in her take of Let's Stay Together.

ENTERTAINMENT: By Basil Walters Observer staff reporter
Friday, March 20, 2009
With an increasing number of local entertainers becoming more caring and reaching out to the less fortunate among their fellowmen, recording artiste, vocalist/musician and producer Benjy Myaz once more strikes the right chord.
Myaz.... it's within my mission statement to help autistic kids in Jamaica, those talented ones
Joining the growing list of Jamaican artistes who are a part of the trend of going beyond just highlighting in their music unsavoury social conditions affecting their communities and the world at large, Benjy Myaz, has decided to use his multi-faceted talents in championing two well-deserved causes for which he is seeking the assistance of the United Nation.
The vehicle he intends to use to achieve this goal is his latest project, which is his first instrumental set out of four recorded albums to date. The proceeds from the sale of this 16-track product, titled You've Got Me, will be donated to help children suffering from autism in Jamaica as well as starving kids in Darfur, Africa.
"A part of this project will be dedicated to the Autistic Association or whatever organisation that deals with autism in Jamaica," Benjy Myaz told Splash. "That's within my mission for a very long time," he goes on, "That's within my mission statement to help autistic kids in Jamaica, those talented ones. I'll be using the money from that production to help them to be trained in music. So that's already an established thing in my mission statement."
Autism is a brain development disorder characterised by impaired social interaction and communication, and by restricted and repetitive behaviour among young children. Explaining his other commitment about which he speaks passionately the highly professional musician has added his voice to the international crusade called Save Darfur Project.
"Darfur has become a second project for me. So we'll do autism in Jamaica, helping kids who have musical talent who have autism, and we'll go outside of Jamaica and we'll be assisting Africa where we can in terms of starvation. So this project is dedicated to the whole Save Darfur Project. So that's why I am planning to address this whole thing with the United Nations and try to get them on board before I release the project. As a part of a global commitment from them to me to help me launch the product even in other places apart Jamaica," Benjy Myaz said.
Sharing with this reporter, the reason behind his motivation for taking on the Save Darfur Project, he related the following experience. "In 2000 I had the opportunity to play with Jimmy Cliff at the International Telefood Festival in Ocho Rios, at James Bond Beach. And while I was eating backstage, I recognised why we were there playing. I recognised we were there playing to raise money to buy food for starving children around the world. I decided to get involved by seeking out which country would appeal to me more to be part of such movement and Darfur seems to be one of the countries with nuff, nuff, nuff starvation and whole heap of drought and all these things. Seven years no rain. "
It's not surprising therefore that included on You've Got Me are covers of Marvin Gaye's What's Going On and Dennis Brown's Love Has Found Its Way (in my heart today), now taking on a deeper meaning than the original. Then there is also the Randy Crawford smash, Knocking On Heaven's Door.
"Sixteen tracks on the CD, all instrumentals. The album is called You've Got Me. It features my bass guitar because that's my passion instrument. I play several instruments, but that's the special instrument because of the inspiration from Stanley Clarke and all the great bass players. I wanted to do an album that would feature the bass guitar up front as a melody instrument to bring forward a different presentation of the bass. There are certain songs with harmonies and scathing, because it is a jazz-fused album with reggae fusion....but there's no song featuring a lead vocal... it's a different concept. This will be my fourth album. But my first instrumental project. This project has been in production even before I recorded vocals (for the first time) in 1993. This is a gift from me to the world," explained Benjy.

There's a long a winding road that we have traveled
And a prize that waits for all who will prevail
There's a place for those who stand up tall in battle
Up against all odds determined not to fail
And when the moment comes you know that you'll be ready
To push yourself beyond where you have gone before
So write you name beside the very best in history
And take a bow before the crowd and hear them roar
Take this from me
Dreamin keep on dreamin, keep on dreamin
And if you really believe in the time
You will make dreams come true
Dreamin, don't stop dreamin
No one else could ever dream but you
So you rise above each hurdle you encounter
Let no obstacle before you slow your speed
For you possess a will to win that burns intensely
And when you will yes this will be your creed
And when the moment comes you know that you'll be ready
To push yourself much harder beyond than you've done before
So write you name beside the very best in history
And take a bow before the crowd and hear them roar
Take this from me this is from me to you
Dreamin keep on dreamin, keep on dreamin
And if you really believe in the time
You will make dreams come true
Dreamin, don't stop dreamin
No one else could ever dream but you
Any day end with no regrets
You've given your all and nothing less
You know you've been the best that you can be
No one can say you didn't try
Go on and wave your banner high
And savor that sweet taste the victory
Dreamin keep on dreamin, keep on dreamin
And if you really believe in the time
You will make dreams come true
Dreamin, don't stop dreamin
No one else could ever dream but you.
