NP: Carterwang- Damion Marley gave me mine. Data- Mikey Binns gave me mine. I used to be in a band named No Credit and because I didn't dance when I played he said I reminded him of the character Data from Star Trek. Unga- My older brother had the name first. I think it came from a cartoon. (laughs) Because I was always with him, people started calling me "Little Unga" and when I got older I became just Unga. Then Bugle added the Barunga part. Bass- Um... I guess because I play bass. (chuckle) Stripes; Ding Dong named him that 'cause he used to always wear striped shirts. Riff... we were playing at a hotel and how he was dressed and playing the keyboard, started calling him Riff Raff.

TEENage: What is the history of Notice Productions?

NP: (Unga) We first started as the band Further Notice during our first year at Edna; me, Carter, Jason and Riff. After we graduated, we didn't get to play much as a band. We all played for different artistes like Damion and Stephen Marely, but we'd still link up. Serani was the one who actually asked why we don't record and that's when we turned it into the production company.

TEENage: So as musicians, what do you each play/do?

NP: Carter and Data both play lead guitar, Unga is on the drums, Bass plays the bass guitar, Chevaughn sings, Riff is on keyboard, and Greg is engineer.

TEENage: So is Chevaughn the only artiste? Anyone else ever voiced on a track?

NP: Unga is featured on Damari's Work. He also has a song with Ding Dong and Chevaughn that soon release. (Carter) Unga always wants to sing, but he doubts himself. (Unga) I don't doubt myself, I just go with the wind. Is more that I follow my father, Percival Thompson (Big T). And when he started to sing, I wanted to sing.

TEENage: You guys are obviously passionate about music. When did you decide to take it up professionally?

NP: (Bass) When I left high school and started college. I loved music from primary school. (Carter) When I realised it was the only thing I'm good at. (laughs) Serious ting. Never pass any exam 'til I reach music school.

TEENage: Do you guys produce only dancehall?

NP: We produce everything, but our most recognised work is in dancehall. Some of our reggae is recognized as well, like Ras Penco's So Free.

TEENage: Who in the business do you look up to?

NP: (Data) I more look up to producers like Donovan Jeremy. Also, I work with him. (Unga)

Kanye West, 'cause him nah nuh sense. (Carter) Bob Marley, always. The Marleys in general. (Bass) The Almighty! Daseca too stillz.

TEENage: You guys are friends and colleagues. How does that relationship work?

NP: We been friends from college days. Wayne n Riff were friends from before, they're both from Mobay. We're friends always but when it's business, it's business.

NP: (Carter) It's a good feeling u nuh. People weh nuh usually talk to yuh talk to yuh now. Wagonists, yuh nuh. (Bass) It jus brings more recognition to the group, internationally and locally. Before, internationally we were recognised as musicians.

TEENage: Describe Notice Productions in three words.

NP: Musical, unique and fun.

TEENage: Many TEENs want to go into music; any advice for interested TEENs?

NP: (Carter) Learn the business side of it. (Data) Yeah, make sure you have that down so you don't get tricked. (Unga) And just work hard, yuh nuh. Don't give up.
