Wildfire Productions is committed to our role in developing the entertainment industry and so we are set to ignite with our first concert for 2008 with other concerts to follow.
This being our first concert for 2008 we chose the name Ignition as it is our startup concert, so to speak, for other concerts we have planned for the year. People are already familiar with our last concert of 2007 THE INFERNO CONCERT and can expect just the same quality and better planning and promotions surrounding the IGNITION CONCERT from Wildfire Productions. The IGNITION will be featuring some of the best artists in the business such as the legendary Bounty Killer, the ladies man Wayne Wonder, and the youngest dancehall star QQ.
What to expect
If people did not get into the partying mood for 2008 then this is their ignition. We have chosen artists we feel will give high quality and entertaining performances for the different likes of reggae music. QQ being the youngest should not be confused with inexperience. He has quite a number of songs including the dancehall hits Stukie and Tek it to dem. His stage performance is unreal and many will be surprised when they see this young fireball burst unto the stage. Wayne Wonder’s lover’s rock will definitely have the ladies crooning down memory lane and the fellas going back to the good ol’ days. But Wayne, being the veteran he is, has maintained with the dancehall scene and like a true veteran grew with it. His new album has current hits that play in the dancehall and radio. He is known for classics such as Saddest Day, Live and Learn, Excess amount of Loving, and newer hits such as Anything goes, Hold me now, Exposed, Bounce Along, No Letting Go, and the list goes on!
Then there is the legendary and mighty Bounty Killer. If you do not know him by name you know him by reputation. Bounty is a seasoned veteran performer with many hits and international collaborations with artists such as Damian Marley, No Doubt, The Fugees, Busta Rhymes and others. He has been nominated for grammies and given 4 star ratings by Rolling Stone. One of the more popular factors here in Guyana about Bounty is his rivalry with Beenie Man. Even though they are friends off stage, they are fierce competitors onstage. Bounty is very popular and many can expect great things from him at the Ignition concert… he will be definitely one to start things up for Wildfire and Guyana for 2008!
