We have compiled a list of five persons we believe are the top male singers in Jamaica. As usual this one was haaaaard to compile because as you know our Jamaican artistes are talented. Nonetheless, we tried so here goes: 1. Beres Hammond- Of course, this soulful, lovers-rock master had to make our list. Beres knows how to make every song sound like a love song.

December 22nd, 2015 | Add a Comment

According to Pauline Stephenson, a Jamaican publicist who lives in London, that slump continued in 2015. Stephenson is principal of Magnetic Energy Promotions which helped organize the One Love Festival and shows by singer Lukie D in the UK this year. “The most fulfilling thing in terms of what I do was the One Love Festival, which embraced reggae across the board in relation to patrons and artists from various countries,” Stephenson told the Jamaica Observer. “It exposed the unity that can be instilled when people communicate, share a true love and passion for the genre.” There was no increase in the number of shows featuring Jamaican artists, especially contemporary acts.
