Clad in his Rebel Unit outfit, Steele emerged on stage at the Tru Juice Rebel Salute 15th
Anniversary Celebration with a burst of energy. Blazing the lyrics of
"Betta Mus Come", the impact from the seasoned performer
was immediately evident as the thousands in attendance waved banners and
sang along with him.
Backed by Tony Rebel’s very competent band, Team Band, and harmonized by the ladies of
the singing group LMJ, Steele wasted little time in delivering his current
MVP top ten hit "New World". The song, which has grown in
popularity, again drew a huge response from the audience and is a true
testament to the never ending efforts being put forth by Steele and his
management team to excel to the highest level possible.
"Just Incredible", best describes Steele’s deliverance of his Bob
Marley remake "Slave Driver", says one news reporter. His
command of this song is breathtaking and his belief is evident with every
emotion displayed.
Although he did not have the time to perform requested songs such as "Another
Confrontation" or "Shining Star", Steele’s Tru Juice Rebel Salute 2K Love performance will be remembered by all who witnessed it.
Unity Splash, held just over a week earlier was very similar for Steele. There again he
displayed his showmanship and comfort in delivering both socially relevant
material and engaging the female fans with his smooth lovers rock
deliverance. His remake of "Shining Star", on the ever
popular taxi riddim, drew a huge forward for him, and once again Steele
left the stage with his heart felt rendition of "Slave Driver".
When asked about his never ending development, Steele was quick to point out that he is
just a vessel of the people, the real stars are the people, and they
decide who will make it and who won’t. If this is the pattern to be
expected from Steele, in no time the Canadian based singer will be a house
hold name globally.
