Red Bull Enters Jamaican Music Industry

Miss Jamaica 2009 Carolyn Yapp poses with Red Bull cans
Im not sure why red bull choose Jamaica to build its latest multimillion dollar music studio. They have already built studios in the US, New Zealand and in the UK (developed nations ..yah!!)... One can only speculate that they choose Jamaica because Jamaican artiste have been calling up red bull's name in riddim and in song over the past couple of years. The Seanizzle, Fambo and Beenie Man production seem to have been the trigger that resulted in Red Bull deciding to build a $25 Million dollar studion in Kingston, Jamaica... the strangest thing about this studio is that, it will be free and available to selected local musicians through invitations as well as being available to international acts that might be in the island and require a modern studio to use.
The studio is expected to be ready by February of 2011and will be an environmentally friendly one... the long and short of it is that it will serve as a back drop to Red Bull general marketing and promotions.
The studio could pose a problem to current industry players though, since the service is being offered for free, although its on an invitation basis... it could be a cause for concern for those who garner revenue through such means.
