Artistes, inclusive of Voice, who was mentored by Blaxx for two years, are expected to perform. Fellow entertainer, Shurwayne Winchester, who is not in the country at this time, but attended the celebration wake at Despers on the first night, said in a Trinidad Express article that although Blaxx joked about overcoming being told that he was “too black”or that he “didn’t have the look to be a star,” he knew that that was coming from a painful place inside the singer. ”The kind of comments you’re hearing now, the respect you’re hearing now, I wish he had heard that,” said Shurwayne.
