I found out last week from the producer of the track that my track was going to be included in the final version of the Film which is Showing at Festivals around the world at the moment But it was a thin line. Esther Anderson told me that my song replaced another track which they couldn't get clearance for so they next best track she had in mind was mine.
SHE TOLD ME SHE LOVES THE TRACK AND CAN'T BELIEVE I COME FROM THE UK. SHE SAYS 'YOU SOUND LIKE YOU COME FROM KINGSTON' SHEN THEN CALLS HER TO SOMEONE IN THE NEXT ROOM 'HEY BINGIMAN COME FROM BIRMINGHAM, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT'. SHE TOLD ME ABOUT FILMS PROGRESS AND TRIED TO BRING ME UP TO DATE WITH WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
She seemed like a very strong woman and had a bubbly character. That was the first time I spoke to Bob Marley's Ex Lover & Actor Esther Anderson.
Of course i was very happy with this news and I called her on a few occasions to organise a time for me to go and meet her at her home in London. During this time i contacted the press updated my facebook status and started promoting the news to my list.
A interview was arranged with my good friend and radio celebrity Little Richie on his weekly show on stingdem FM www.stingdem.com. I arranged for Esther to call the studio from london to partake in the interview.
Radio Interview Esther Anderson & Bingiman LIVE on Stindem FM with Little Richie Audio 23/06/2012
The Interview
The interview was broadcast between 4pm & 6pm UK time so it was peak time for listeners on there way home from work. The news spread very quickly and I was soon booked for many more radio interviews from the USA, UK, Zimbabwe & London. Publishers began contacting me about my story and soon it was everywhere. I must admit that it has had a real impact on my album sales, just after the stingdem interview which i only promoted via facebook and my website www.bingiman.info. It has also made me some great new friends with people who would probably never discovered me at this stage in my career.
Thank you Esther Anderson for choosing my track to be included in such a great documentary. I have already had many opportunities come my way and the added promotion has been great also.
Next I go to London to meet Esther and her work partner Gian Godoy at there home in London UK.
