The Road To Rototom
All my life I have wanted to be a singer.
It's cute when you're younger, but as you grow up, people expect you to choose a 'real career' or get a 'real job'.
Well, I'm proud to say music is my full time job.
Music is my 24/7, and I'm lucky to have a Mom who manages and supports my journey.
Over the past 4 years, my Mom and I have received donations for my promo CDs (which included covers of jazz, gospel, reggae, R&B, and pop songs).
Last year my Mom and I travelled to France & England to release my first original song entitled Over You.
I'm proud to say it was well received worldwide!
Selling over 10,000 physical copies in Toronto, playing in every continent, and becoming #1 on three charts in Canada, and one in the UK!
Thank you so much Toronto for your support!
I was honestly overwhelmed by the amount of love and support we got for my first original song!
This year (with that song alone), I have been confirmed to perform at the biggest reggae festival in Europe! Rototom Sunsplash is an 8 day festival that takes place in Benicassim, Spain.
Rototom 2015 features reggae legends like Super Cat, Capleton, Bunny Wailer, and Lee 'Scratch' Perry! As well as the younger artists who've made a name for themselves like Popcaan, Jah Cure (who will perform the same day as me), Major Lazer, Cham, and Protoje. These artists will perform on the Main Stage which will have an audience of approx. 250, 000 people, where as the Showcase Stage (where I will be performing) will have approx. 100,000 in attendance!
I will be performing on August 16th, 2015, and I am so honored to be welcomed by this festival as the only Canadian artist ( #TheOnlyOne )!
My Mom and I have done a lot, but again we need your donations to help us represent Canada in Spain.
Your donations will help pay for a band (fee, accommodations, travel and food), get myself, my manager & my two back up vocalists to Spain.
We would also like to be prepared with merchandise upon arrival.
There's a Jamaican saying that says: Every mikkle mek a muckle. It means every little bit counts, so if you donate $10, $100, or $1000 (if you're feeling generous), I'll be grateful for whatever it is, because that is one step closer to Spain!
One step closer to the biggest opportunity of my career so far!
One step closer to that Juno!
One step closer to that Grammy!
And one step closer to that little girl's dream of being a successful international recording artist that tours the world!
