Trinidad and Tobago soca artiste Cassi has spoken about a disappointing experience involving a young DJ who allegedly refused to play his music, despite the song initially receiving positive feedback.<\/p>\n
The entertainer, known for his 2011 hit Town Ting, shared the experience while reflecting on his decades in the music industry.<\/p>\n
According to Cassi, he sent a video featuring his music to a DJ friend and several other individuals. The initial response was encouraging, with one person expressing excitement about the song.<\/p>\n
“Oh boy, this one bad boy,” Cassi recalled the individual saying, before expressing an intention to play and promote the track.<\/p>\n
Cassi said he welcomed the enthusiasm and encouraged the individual to proceed.<\/p>\n
However, he claimed the situation changed when he subsequently received a message explaining that another DJ was refusing to play the music.<\/p>\n
The person who contacted him reportedly felt it was necessary to inform him about what was happening, although Cassi indicated that he was not particularly bothered by the rejection itself.<\/p>\n
What appeared to stand out to the artiste was the age and experience of the individual allegedly refusing the song.<\/p>\n
Cassi estimated that the DJ was approximately 25 years old, pointing out that he had been involved in music since 2002.<\/p>\n
His remarks drew attention to the contrast between someone relatively young in the industry and an entertainer who had spent more than two decades developing his career.<\/p>\n
According to entertainment platform Ebuzztt, Cassi had previously considered quietly stepping away from the music business but was encouraged to submit a new single to a radio station.<\/p>\n
The artiste’s account suggests that his attempt to continue sharing music was met with disappointment, despite the encouragement he initially received.<\/p>\n
Cassi did not identify the DJ in the available remarks or establish why the song was reportedly rejected.<\/p>\n
His account nevertheless offers a glimpse into the frustrations an established soca artiste says he encountered while attempting to get new music played.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
