Additionally, Blease is the creator and producer of Spotlight MVS (Music Video Show) on Krem TV, a show that puts the spotlight on original Belizean music videos, as well as Caribbean genres such as reggae, dancehall and soca.
Caribbean breakthrough
Blease got her first big break in the Caribbean in February 2012, when she was invited to be a guest selector at the popular Quad nightclub in Kingston, Jamaica. Since then, she has been featured at all of Kingston's hotspots, including Fiction Lounge, Club Privilege, Usain Bolt's Tracks and Records, and Macau Lounge, as well as Blue Beat in Montego Bay and other places in the Caribbean, including Port of Spain, Trinidad, and St. John's, Antigua. Her biggest show to date was being featured as the only female disc jocket at the event dubbed "greatest reggae show on Earth", Reggae Sumfest.
Linda is fast earning a reputation as the Caribbean's hottest DJ in heels. Her meteoric rise was featured in Jamaica's Observer newspaper (read here), the Trinidad Metro (read here), and in an interview with Entertainment Report on Television Jamaica (watch here).ada
Early life
Linda Blease was born in Belize City and raised with her grandparents on the island of Caye Caulker off the coast of Belize. Her first sojourn into music was in Church, where she sang in the church choir and learned to play the keyboard in the church band.
Past her mid teens, Linda encountered her most difficult battles as a young adult. At times she had no immediate support system and no place to call home. When she moved to Belize City to attend college, she began performing in local stage plays and was subsequently approached to work an emerging television station, Krem TV at the age of 17. She soon grasped an opportunity to write a youth column in the Amandala news paper - ‘Spotlight’. The column became hit. At the age of 22, she evolved that newspaper article into the Spotlight Music Video Show – the first legitimate, high quality music video show in Belize.
With an innovative approach to producing her radio and TV shows, her media influence grew throughout the Belizean community at home and abroad – both on and off the air. She has made guest appearances on numerous Caribbean community events in Los Angeles, Miami, and New York.
