Trini pop singer on MTV

by

20140807

Trinida­di­an pop singer Richie Lu­na is be­ing fea­tured on the ca­ble mu­sic chan­nel MTV 2 with his song Cel­e­brate (The Call To Light).

The video was post­ed on the MTV Web site on Mon­day and has been shared via so­cial net­works Twit­ter and Face­book more than 6,000 times so far.

Lu­na is the al­ter ego of Richie Sab­ga, a mu­si­cian and en­tre­pre­neur who start­ed his road-lights com­pa­ny Lu­na Road in 2008, and his mu­si­cal ca­reer in 2010 as pop­star-cum-su­per­hero Richie Lu­na.

Sab­ga said in an in­ter­view in Ju­ly that the idea for the Richie Lu­na char­ac­ter was de­vel­oped over a three or four-year pe­ri­od.

"The orig­i­nal idea start­ed off as a movie script, how­ev­er, giv­en my in­nate love and pas­sion for mu­sic, I de­cid­ed to tell the sto­ry of Richie Lu­na through writ­ing songs and equiv­a­lent mu­sic videos. Each song and video rep­re­sent­ing a unique chap­ter of his sto­ry," he said.

The char­ac­ter him­self is a su­per­hero with the pow­er to gen­er­ate moon­light en­er­gy, us­ing it to bring light and love to a de­pressed world.

The video start­ed get­ting in­ter­na­tion­al at­ten­tion when it de­buted on the Ya­hoo Mu­sic and Ve­vo sites on June 26. It was pro­duced by Alan Fer­reira and Nigel Ce­les­tine with cin­e­matog­ra­phy by Ronald Lee. Some of the scenes fea­ture Port-of-Spain as the back­drop and there is an ap­pear­ance by mas­man Pe­ter Min­shall who plays one of the mid-lev­el vil­lains.
