Grant celebrates performances, new music

Must Read

Recording artiste Anthony Grant has been quite busy these past few months, taking his skills to international levels with various performances.

His most recent was at the Kansas City Summer Fest Day Party on August 16.

“I had a great performance at the Kansas City Summer Fest. The crowd was electric and interactive; I connected well with them from the get-go. I had people singing the words of the song during the performance, and for me, that’s good because most of the people there don’t know me or my songs prior,” the artiste said.

The show also featured top-notch performances from Konshens and Kranium.

Adding to that, Grant is in promotional mode with his latest track Stronger, a positively charged and highly motivational track. Produced by his own ASG Records label and Kallem Beats, the track was released earlier in the year.

“The song is about people who go through struggles or adversities in life and use it as motivation. Instead of folding during tough times, they got stronger and kept on pushing,” the artiste explained.

The official music video, which was shot by Leo Juarez, has been gaining traction and positive comments on popular streaming platform YouTube, with many vibing with the track’s relatability.

“Everyone in their lifetime will go through or has been through the situation highlighted in the song. I am hoping that the track will continue to motivate and encourage people worldwide that regardless of the pain or struggles, you can be great and everything will be okay,” he said.

For the past 15 years, Grant has been honing his skills not just as a recording artiste, but also as a producer, composer and writer. His past releases include A Good Time, Creme De La Creme, Vibe With Me and This Summer. 

With the new track under his belt, look out for more from  Grant, as he works towards releasing new music, showing the world who he truly is and what his music is about. He will also be hitting the stage at several upcoming shows for the rest of the year into next year.

‘You inspired me’, Holness tells Sizzla at media launch for October celebratory concert

KINGSTON, Jamaica — As reggae artiste Sizzla continues to celebrate his milestone 30th anniversary in music, the stories of how his music has uplifted and inspired continue. With songs such as Solid As A Rock, Never See Us Fall and many more, the entertainer has encouraged generations to pursue their dreams relentlessly, including Prime Minister Andrew Holness.

Speaking at the official media launch for the entertainer’s upcoming celebratory concert, Holness shared how Sizzla’s music became a personal anthem that inspired him to pursue his purpose as a politician. Recalling in 2011 when he was on the cusp of greatness, Holness shared that as he contemplated what was easily the biggest decision of his life at the time, it was Sizzla’s Rise to the Occasion that became his source of inspiration.

“In 2011, I had a big decision to make in my life, and one morning I was contemplating, and this song came on, Rise to the occasion, look at yourself…no one can stop you. That song was the inspiration for me to step forward to become the leader of my political party and eventually to become prime minister. It was that song that inspired me,” he said.

He continued, “There were times when I had difficult situations, and you have to psych yourself up. Some people use all kinds of means to psych themselves up; I listen to Sizzla. So I just came here to say to you that you wouldn’t always know the details of the power of your music. Your attorney read a letter from someone who was inspired to live, and I may have to pen you such a letter as well, but I just wanted to tell you personally that you have inspired me.”

Outlining that as the Caribbean’s musical hub, Jamaica produces a plethora of diverse music, Holness praised Sizzla for always curating content that motivates.

“Our music is diverse and it produces a variety, but I would like to say that the music you produce is music with purpose and meaning,” he said as Sizzla looked on. “It is music that will transcend generations, and so it is timeless. The music that you produce deals with subjects that are uplifting, and it is not always the case that we have artistes of your calibre, so I consider you to be a national icon in our music.”

The launch held at Kamila’s Kitchen in downtown Kingston was also supported by the Minister of Entertainment and Culture, Olivia Grange, as well as Minister of Finance, Fayval Williams, who is also Member of Parliament for the constituency of St Andrew Eastern, where Sizzla's hometown of August Town is located. Scores of industry professionals also descended on the venue, indicating that the show on October 19 at Sabina Park will be well supported.
