Reel To Real ft The Mad Stuntman

The Mad Stuntman is a high voltage musical lightning rod from Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago who created a unique and powerful style of music that dominated domestic and international charts and record sales with the global hit “I Like to Move It.”

He was the vocal part of the duo, Reel 2 Real, that recorded “I Like to Move It” with legendary dance music producer Erick Morillo. The smash hit first jumped off in the United Kingdom, becoming #1 in Belgium, Canada, France and the Netherlands, then climbing the US Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Dance Club Play charts.  It was certified gold in France, Germany and the Netherlands. The 1994 blockbuster single sold nearly four million copies worldwide.

The album I Like to Move It and the music video instantly propelled The Mad Stuntman to main stages across the world including Russia, Scandinavia, South Africa, Japan, Australia, the Caribbean and North America.

This very unique and eclectic style that Mark Quashie, a/k/a The Mad Stuntman, created by fusing together the essential elements of his roots – Reggae, Soca, Dance and R&B – started to attract the attention of marketing executives in advertising and film.

“I Like to Move It” was featured prominently as the theme song in the eternally popular film ‘Madagascar’ and its sequels. It was also included in the motion picture ‘Saving Silverman’ and as the theme for the video game ‘Miami Nights: Singles in the City.’ On the international front the song was used in ads for the National Basketball League in Australia and products in the UK. In the US, the celebrated club classic was used in ads to push sales for McDonald’s, Dunkin’ Donuts and Jeep.
