KINGSTON, Jamaica, June 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Usain Bolt, the fastest man alive, teamed up with Digicel to launch its Bring the Beat campaign in front of an inquisitive bunch of little kids from across the Caribbean at the Terra Nova All Suite Hotel in Kingston, Jamaica yesterday. The launch took the form of a lively fireside chat session with Usain, hosted by nine-year old Naleighna-Kae McLean from Jamaica, followed by a 'Kiddie Press Conference'.

Digicel invited aspiring little newshounds from across the Caribbean to a kiddie press conference with Usain Bolt, the world's fastest man in the hot seat. The kiddie press pack surrounds Usain for an impromptu lightning bolt having peppered him with probing questions like "How many girlfriends do you have?" and "What do you think of vegetables?" in Kingston, Jamaica on Tuesday.

Having asked if Usain would be friends with him on Facebook, seven year-old Ajani Brown from Jamaica scores a selfie with Usain Bolt and kiddie moderator for the Digicel "Bring the Beat" press conference, nine year-old Naleighna-Kae McLean.

Die hard Bolt fan, nine year-old Kareem Davis from St. Vincent and the Grenadines, is all ears as Usain fields questions from the kiddie press pack at the Digicel "Bring the Beat" launch.

Digicel's Bring the Beat campaign represents the culture of the Caribbean and the irrepressible spirit which unites and ignites its people. Through music and the celebration of extraordinary talents, the campaign will connect the world to the Caribbean and its culture and support all of the athletes who are set to represent their countries in Brazil.
