Donald 'Ice Man' Anderson moves from stage to studio
published: Friday | August 8, 2003

COMEDIAN DONALD Anderson was in no laughing mood when he recently decided to add music to his resume.

The actor, who has appeared in theatrical works such as Three Light Years and No Dirty Money, in addition to his comedic exploits has added music to his ever-growing resume. Donning the name 'Ice Man' for his debut on a different stage, Anderson recently recorded Girls Invasion on the Big Yard-produced 'Salsa' rhythm.

The rhythm features other dancehall heavyweights such as Bounty Killer, Shaggy, Elephant Man, Sizzla, Wayne Marshall, Tanto Metro and Devonte and T.O.K.

"I'm just adding to the repertoire of talent and I'm just trying to get into the music business. I have always loved music and wanted to become involved in the music business. I'm putting myself in the industry and hopefully it will be a platform to greater things," said Donald Anderson.

Anderson said the opportunity to record came one day when he was taken to the studio by Brian Gold. "Brian said he going to the studio to record a song and I told him I had a song for the rhythm. He took me to the studios to meet Robert Livingston and it has been good from then," he said.

FRIENDSHIP

The actor described the relationship between himself and Robert Livingston (who also manages Shaggy) as one of friendship.

"He is an honest person and he will tell you as is. It's not like some persons, who will tell you something is good when it is not," he said.

Livingston also spoke highly of Anderson, who he said is highly talented.

"He's brilliant. He has a great song on the rhythm and it going to blow up," said Livingston.

Livingston points out he would be working with Anderson on future projects and this was just the first one.

However, in the meantime Anderson, who is considered a new act in terms of music, is writing and preparing fresh material for upcoming projects.

"The plan is to have me to do stuff on other projects. There are also plans to get Chris (Daley) and myself in film as well," said Anderson.
