Group still functioning void of management- Treyon
They have performed for close to13 years as proud Guyanese voices in the Caribbean and various parts of the world. Now while we have not heard the last of them, speculations are rife that they have split up for reasons unknown.
However, recently on the BTV2, Caribbean Music Box programme Treyon Garrett one of the five members of the First Born group confirmed that all is not well with the group.
“As First Born (the group) we are under a self management basis, two of us are working with Vision Sounds, Sean is in Berbice doing some personal show organizing, Rawlston is in Linden and Lambert is in Trinidad at present”, he told the fans of the programme.
While the other members of the Guyanese group could not be reached for comment Treyon said “We are at a level where the members have decided to do some solo.” Amidst rife speculations of the gropu being split he said some members have parted ways with management but “the group is still the group together, whenever its that time you will see us perform together but right now we are not delaying we’re doing solo recordings.”
Expounding further the 29-year-old said that “it’s a little situation going on, We (Firsts Born) have some differences as some members are not under the Vision Sounds management any longer but the group is still the group whenever we come together and it is no longer managed by Vision sounds”.
Before the separation from management Treyon said some members did want to be away from management but all of us weren’t in total agreement so two of us remained under Vision sounds as solo artistes. A lot of people have been wanting for us to do solos but management never saw it that way but that’s what is happening.
Explaining further he said it’s a group and management issue where some members just wanted to be away from management for different reasons while others did not want it that way as such the First born Group is no longer being directly managed by Vision sounds.
First Born is known for songs such as Bounce yah head, Irits and headlines as well as How are we gonna survive and Black Joint.
Some members of first born will be touring Europe shortly through an arrangement with Vision Sounds boss man Wally Fraser along with other artistes.
