Vince Lewis aka Aziatic is here. After
ten years in the making, a heartbeat still
pounds for the meaning of excitement .
While many lay claim to be the King of Punta, he
settles with The Son Of Hopkins. A beautiful
coastal Village in the Stann Creek District of
Belize . This humbled Garifuna Entertainer
and Investor is know as a game changer. Better
yet the hardest working Puntarock Artist to
date. While demanding an aggressive hip
shaking response to his music, Aziatic carved
out a style of his own "Punta Pop". And a
portfolio like no other, Singer/Song
Writer/Composer/Event Planner/Concert Promoter/
Producer and Director.
Awareness and pride is what a mother
instilled in her only son. Where he was
raised, Garifuna Music, Food and Dance
transcended through the atmosphere. The
voices of elders telling stories through music
would capture his attention. As well as
the smell of fresh baked Cassava Bread and fried
Fish. The soul of being Garifuna was not
to be forgotten.
At a young age, his family migrated to the
United States of America and exchanged the
Tropical Climate of the Mosquito Coast with the
Big Apple, in the winter time covered with snow.
For five years New York was home and by the mid
80's his family headed west to Los Angeles
California. A place where some of the
world's biggest Athletes, Entertainers and Movie
Stars reside.
With a bloodline in music and a distinct
voice, Aziatic's journey would lead him to
combine traditional Garifuna Roots Music with
Melodic Pop Elements. What followed was a
hybrid version of Puntarock that experimented
with both genre's. On return visits to Belize in
the mid 90's, Aziatic was embraced by a
flourishing Puntarock scene with highly
successful concerts and a name never to be lost
in the crowed. The hits poured out and so
did a local following in Los Angeles, Chicago,
New York and Belize.
At home in both worlds and inspired by Hip
Hop Culture, R&B and Michael Jackson, Aziatic
soon realized that more needed to be done for
the music and also his peers. This he
remembered would not be easy.
After blowing up the scene with his
introduction album “Jam 96X”, Aziatic is still
the most talked about personality with many
accomplishments. As an Entertainer / Producer
and Concert Promoter, Aziatic has worked
vigorously over the past fourteen years to
introduce his peers to fans in the United
States, with His “Best of the Best” Punta Rock
Concerts and His “One of One” Productions.
Aziatic figured out early that, Punta Music
needed about a million dollars worth of
investment just to stay alive. With that, he
gave up a lot of his personal time and invested
heavily when he decided to be a part of the
solution by cutting back on his performances and
working hand in hand with other entertainers.
Today it turns out that during that period of
time, his fans were not getting Aziatic at his
best. As he admitted, he was more focused on
promoting other performers like Supa G, Lloyd,
Reckless, Griga Boys, Mohobub, Punta Rebels,
Andy Palacio and countless others.
It wasn't until early 2008 while answering
emails on his Myspace page that Aziatic decided
to do something special for the people who have
been supporting him for over a decade. With that
he released “Yugadan” DVD. It delivered a side
of him that fans had never seen. Cameras
followed him to Belize, Chicago, New York and
Los Angeles. Today “The Son Of Hopkins” is back
on track and ready to give his fans a bag full
of entertainment.
