I started off on Percussion, I went to the “California World Championship of the Performing Arts” and I represented Jamaica in that regard, the passion later evolved into music production.”

So far the emerging Producer has amassed quite the catalog. He has worked extensively with on the Lifestyle Rich Riddim featuring noted Producer Teetimus and Dancehall Artist Tanto Blacks, he also produced the song “One Link” by Lutan Fyah. In addition he has worked alongside Grillaras for Fambo’s “Get Crunk EP”; he has also worked on numerous occasions with his Grandfather, and the list goes on. “I have worked with Vybz Kartel, Beenie Man, Mr Vegas, Luciano, Toots and The Maytals, and so many more. I am grateful to have gotten the chance to work these people and I know that the list will grow as I continue working.”

Upcoming Projects

The multifaceted producer is currently promoting his latest Riddim, “Bunx Around” which features Kalado, Harry Toddler, and single with himself and Dancehall Artist Kemstsar. Blizzard is working assiduously on some upcoming projects, including an Album with Sizzla Kalonji, and some more work with Beenie Man.

Posted on by swadedavillain

International Reggae-Dancehall Artist Bugle, CEO and Managing Director of An9ted Entertainment, is known for hits such as Pearly Gates, Nuh Compatible, Anointed, Rasta Party, and many more. With a successful musical career, Bugle now ventures into Music Production and released his first Riddim, titled Kick Off, on the An9ted Entertainment label.

“Initiating my first project included hours of hard work and late nights, which resulted in sleepless nights. After seeing everything coming together and exceeding my expectations, the long hours and hard work turned into fun and excitement. This experience has made me more appreciative of the work Producers have done with my songs in the past. I enjoyed every minute working on this project, making it a great experience for me,” Bugle said.

Kick Off features 14 tracks from artistes such as Busy Signal, Agent Sasco, Mr Easy, Tifa, Fully Bad, Samboni, Tarrus Riley, Dexta Daps, Dean Loyal, Craigy T, Sizzla, Popcaan, Cobra, Kibaki and Bugle. The compilation is getting rave reviews from fans and industry players alike, showing that it is possible to put out excellent Production with an interesting mix of veterans and up-and-coming Dancehall stars.

“It was a great experience! Working with my colleagues is always a joy. My relationship with them goes deeper than music. We would vibe at the studio cooking, drinking and smoking. We are like family. I think this made producing easier for me in comparison to a regular or a new Producer,” said Bugle.
