Chip Off The Old Block: Meet The New Kids Of Dancehall x Reggae (Pt. 5)

Posted on by swadedavillain

First they started out as the youth of the Dancehall/Reggae culture, now they’re parents with growing kids. It isn’t unusual for the child of an Entertainer to follow in their parent’s footsteps one way or the other as at times they bring a modern take on their parent’s creations, or create their own lane. Some of the most famous off springs include Stephen, Ziggy, and Damian “Junior Gong” Marley (Sons of Bob Marley), Chino and Di Genius (Sons of Freddie McGregor), Junior Tucker (Son of Jimmy Tucker), Morgan Heritage (Children of Denroy Morgan), Tarrus Riley (Son of Jimmy Riley), Queen Ifrica (Daughter of Derrick Morgan), Protoje (Son of Lorna Bennett), Chronixx (Son of Chronicle) and many more. In part 5 of a few part series, I feature more of the new set of kids on the scene whose parents have covered much ground in their respective careers.

NEW VIDEO: @ItsJahmiel – Where Were You x Great Man

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recording Artist Jahmiel has been very consistent with the tunes in recent times. With hits under his belt, he’s working his way to becoming the MVP for 2016. Today, he premiered his visual for the “Where Were You / Great Man“. Directed by Mamaz Boiz Films, this visual comes in the form of a short film featuring Jahmiel, his friends, and of course a “Bad mind Producer“. From a scenario where he was rejected by said Producer to performing on Onstage to being interviewed, Jahmiel visually tells his story of his rise to stardom. A good concept here and this is only the sample of the greatness that’s to come from Jahmiel. Look out for his upcoming project with Quantanium Records. For now, check out the video below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

PRESS RELEASE: @StuartWilson100 Shines With “Feel For You”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Reggae Recording Artiste and Musician Stuart Wilson shines with his latest single “Feel for You”. Produced by Clive Hunt and featuring Dean Fraser on sax, the single tells the tale about finding true love. “It’s about finding love, the serenity of love, and how things can happen out of nowhere,” Wilson stated. “The feedback has been tremendous. As the single has been receiving high rotation on   radio stations locally and internationally and the response  is  positive. I’m bringing imagination to the music. I love reggae and I’m really a guest in the house of reggae,”. Wilson describes his style of music as a blend of classical rock, jazz, blues and reggae. “My preference is what I call ‘Root Music’. That’s basically a suit of clothes for a song,” he said.

Born in the Cayman Islands to a Jamaican father and a Caymanian mother, Wilson learnt to play instruments at an early age. He played the drums during his high school years as well as the acoustic Guitar. “I have always been influenced by musicians who have impacted music globally. Musicians who have a message in their music,” he said. “Residing between Jamaica and the Cayman Islands. The Journey has had its share of challenges I measure my success by how many people’s lives can be touched by a song they enjoy. Long after I’m gone, I still want to be able to touch people physically through my work. The next step is to start more real world marketing and exposure at events. Will also be taking bookings to increase awareness. I have an idea for a song with Sizzla. The particular song I have in mind will require his unique brand of brilliance to get the temperature right on the record. Hoping to reach out to his camp in short order.”

Wilson holds a bachelor’s degree in mass media communication, journalism and broadcast from the St Thomas University in Florida. He has opened shows for major acts, including Damian Marley, Beres Hammond, Michael Bolton, Roberta Flack, Third World, Tanya Stephens, and Morgan Heritage. He has worked with producers including Grammy-winning Jason Gilbert (known for his work on rapper Eminem’s Recovery album), Sly Dunbar and Rory Baker. Prior to his latest single, he released “Real Come Back Story” on his Love Culture Entertainment label.
