"I LOVE THE ISLANDS"
After a groundbreaking year in the USA with Savage based between New York and LA pursuing his musical dream, Dawn Raid Music in conjunction with Samoa Tourism and Aggie Grey's Hotel are pleased to announce that Savage is returning home to Samoa to film his latest music video "I Love The Islands" April 13th-19th. Savage made history in 2008 with over 1.5 Million sold in combined digital singles making "SWING" the highest selling NZ and Polynesian single in US history. (Still selling over 25,000 units a week as we go to print!!) The certified platinum success of Savage has opened the world's eyes to Samoan artists and contemporary Polynesian music. Savage understands the importance of the message in his music and wants to further expose and giveback to the people of Samoa by featuring the natural beauty of the islands tropical landscape in his upcoming music video from his album "Savage Island". "I'm a proud Samoan and while I was away in America promoting my music I would always talk about Samoa and what a beautiful place it is, with the success I've had I thought it was time to stop talking about it and actually show my fans worldwide what it looks like on film" Says Savage. The new music video is being filmed by acclaimed New Zealand Director Chris Graham who shot the hit comedy movie "Sione's Wedding" and has worked on high profile music video's for Samoan Hip Hop artists Savage, Scribe and The Feelstyle. "This is the first time our label Dawn Raid has filmed a music video in Samoa and we've been planning this for over 3 months, to make sure we get the best out of the event we're also going to bring other artists from our label including Mareko, Devolo and The Deceptikonz to help Savage deliver the best result possible" Says Dawn Raid CEO Brotha D. Since his initial debut on the USA charts Savage has spent over 35 weeks in the US Billboard charts, making historical chart position's on multiple formats including Hot 100, Hot Digital 100, Pop 100, Hip Hop & R&B 100 and Rhythmic 100. Savage soared to the upper tier of the US iTunes chart (reaching #6) and the Rhythm Crossover radio chart (where ‘Swing' became the # 1 most added song in America) on the back of his locally produced #1 single "SWING". Savage will be home in Samoa filming his new music video "I Love The Islands" from April 13th - 19th at specific locations across the island. Dawn Raid Music have engaged promotion company Event Polynesia to organise a one-off Savage concert in Apia featuring Mareko, Devolo and The Deceptikonz. Watch this space and support this local music star and be part of this historical music event!!
