Soca song by Hitz goes global with Zumba
by Chrislyn Lashington
Grenadian singer and songwriter Andrew Hitz Phillip now has his song playing all over the globe. One of his Spicemas 2019 releases, Whistle & Work was picked up by Zumba, an international dance fitness company based in 180 countries reaching 15 million people.
The song was released through the Zumba Instructor Network on 4 December, and already has videos on social media showing Zumba classes in South Korea, Ireland, Turkey, Kazakhstan, and others working out to Whistle & Work.
Last night (Wednesday, 11 December), Hitz got an opportunity to see dance fitness live to his song in Grenada for the first time at the 4th Annual Zumba Party by licensed Zumba Instructor Chrislyn Lashington.
He says that it’s an amazing and eye-opening feeling to have the honor of getting a song onto the Zumba 84th instructor compilation. To see the places and people it’s connecting, through dance fitness, is truly humbling.
This is the second time a song he’s written and produced landed on the Zumba network, the first was In We Blood performed by Machel Montano.
