the Brooklyn-based Playbook-
MG, said on Monday that Jean,
a social media influencer and
radio host on Shade 45 is collaborating
with the MTA to
create a hilarious skit.
“It highlights the recent
efforts the MTA has been
doing recently to clean the
metro subways systems, much
to the delight of New York,
which many residents have
longed for,” Driven told Caribbean
Life.
“Daniel Jean might have
just started a trend by using
his platform to not only make
people laugh but also to partner
with a significant organization
and to educate people
on what’s going on in the
world,” she added. “Jean wanted
to do that in the best way
he knew how to.
“It has been a widespread
belief that comedy is therapy,
and Daniel Jean is no exception
to that statement,” Driven
continued.
Jean said that all of his
friends and family have “felt
terrible recently and rightfully
so about the recent coronavirus
scare.
“With all of the grim news
going on about the infection,
I wanted to be one of the
few and the original to use
their platform to not only
encourage but to bring joy
and laughter to people who
are suffering from the aftermath

of the effects of the illness,”
he said.
Driven said Jean is not only
big on his jokes and muscles,
“but his heart is big and full
of love.
“The love for people inspired
him the most in doing the skit,
and he hopes that it starts a
trend of celebrities/influencers
to follow suit and to use
their gifts to bring joy to people
when they need them the
most,” she said.
“With multiple interviews
on big time platforms, movie
appearance, and a plethora of
skits that went viral on social
media, Daniel is showing the
world that, regardless of the
obstacles 2020 presents for
him, he is moving forward,”
Driven added. “Stay tuned to
the world of Daniel Jean by
keeping up with him on Instagram
and the Whoo Army
Show on Shade 45.”
the play is in the end of May
and early June?” Hall said
many queried. “Here’s the
answer: We do not want to sell
tickets and then postpone the
performances.
“Why wait until the government
makes it mandatory
to postpone events, especially
when the venues are educational
institutions?” he asked.
“Preparation for Oliver Samuels
annual plays classified as
off-Broadway shows begins in
November, when we apply to
the union representing Broadway
and film actors for labor
approval.
“By December, application
is sent to the US Immigration
Services seeking work permit,”
Hall added. “If or when it is
approved around Feb/March in
the US, it is then sent to the US
Embassy in Jamaica to interview
the cast before issuing the
work visa, which takes another
month or more.
“By April approximately 80
percent of expenses have been
paid, such as insurance, venue
rentals, airline, hotel, immigration,
set building, promotion
and advertising,” he continued.
“Nobody knows if in May/June
the COVID-19 will be raging,
thereby forcing more governors
to declare a state of emergency.
It is far better to postpone the
play now rather than later.”
Hall said Everybody’s magazine
has been presenting Caribbean
cultural events for 42
years in US northeast.
He said venues include Avery
Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center,
The Theater at Madison Square
Garden, the then Roseland
Ballroom, Radio City Music
Hall, Town Hall on Broadway,
Prudential Centers in Boston,
and Newark and Lehman Center
for the Performing Arts.

music platforms. It is
also available on vinyl.
Deeply mystical, Jah9 has
emerged from a chrysalis
of poetry, dub and spirit
to become a powerful femi-
NINE energy within a universal
grassroots movement
of consciousness. She sings
with a voice that belies the
dimensions of her physical
body, from a soul much older
than its current vessel.
