Padrino returns to the Bahamas to launch his album

Single 'Sound Bwoi Killing' creating a buzz around town
NASSAU, Bahamas -- Padrino is a raconteur. He is a journalist's dream. He pours out his life's stories with little beckoning. And one cannot help but get taken by the enthralling stories of his journey from the streets, to the studios of Grammy Award winning producers. That, coupled with his commanding baritone that will likely become the signature of Padrino music, demand an attentive ear.
His demeanor as he sat awaiting his grouper burger in one of Nassau's best known dives was in stark contrast to his social media mannerisms. This day there was jollity and a brevity in his stories about home, friends and the road to the launch of his record. He was certainly happy to be back home after grueling over his upcoming album 'RNIP' for almost three years. He was even more happy to be giving his new single Sound Bwoi Killing to the Bahamas before sharing it with the rest of the world.
"We wanted to launch from home," said Padrino. "This is my big debut and because it has a Caribbean flavor we said we should do it from home."
It is a treat to meet Padrino, who was born Rory Bowe, smiling and speaking excitedly about a scuba diving trip he was planning. In the studio and in the public eye, he is a no nonsense purveyor of his craft. That persona is part of his celebrity, and that celebrity is what Padrino says will mean the difference between only local (Bahamas) success and international acclaim.
He said seeing artists in the Bahamas treated as sub-celebrities drove him to push that much harder at succeeding on the international market. And for a man from the streets of New Providence, to be supported by some of the best producers on the American Hip Hop scene, bodes well for his odds.
