Must Read

Gospel recording artiste Roxanne Robinson is on a celebratory high, following her recently announced Sterling Gospel Music Awards nomination.

Her single Caribbean Medley has been nominated in the Local Hit Song of the Year category.

“I am beyond grateful to be recognised by the country of my birth. This is indeed a welcome home gift backed by heaven,” the singer said.

With the nomination being her first for the awards, this is a stellar milestone for Robinson as an artiste, considering the song’s growing popularity with almost 710,000 streams to date.

“While I won’t be performing this year, I’m hoping to do so next year and I’m looking forward to the result. Whatever happens, I’m happy to have reached this far,” she added.

With this achievement to celebrate, Robinson has had a winning year in 2025 so far. She won the Urban Contemporary Female Vocalist and People’s Choice Award categories at the Rhythm of Gospel Awards in the United States. Her latest album, Still Standing, was named Album of the Year at this year’s Intercontinental Music Awards, based in Canada. She also received the Song of the Year award for Release Your Power featuring Michael Manhertz. Both awards were in the Christian/contemporary gospel category. Released in October 2024, the 11-track album is a combination of declarations, proclamations, encouragement, deep worship and high praise, a musical journey that leaves listeners wanting more.

Beginning her musical journey at 12 years old, Robinson started singing in the youth department, as well as duets with her sister. In 2015, she officially became a recording artist and released her first EP, self-titled Roxanne Robinson. Over the course of her career, she has released tracks such as Yahweh, Release Your Power, Holy Rock of Ages and her recently released collaboration with O’Neil Watson, a high-energy track titled Calypso Medley.

The Sterling Gospel Music Awards will take place on October 4, 2025.

The gospel artiste said more music is on the horizon, as well as her third annual night of worship, which is slated for October as well.

Anna-Lisa Guthrie named creative director of Yard Mas Carnival 2026

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Yard Mas Carnival has officially announced Anna-Lisa Guthrie as its creative director for the 2026 carnival season.

The announcement comes ahead of the official band launch set for late November 2025, which the company says “promises to reveal a new era of design depth, inclusivity and artistry for the Yard Mas brand”.

In a statement, Yard Mas described Guthrie as a multidisciplinary creative celebrated for her innovative approach to costume design and storytelling through art.

Guthrie has already made a name for herself on social media showcasing her design skills in building outfits from different materials that have gone viral across multiple platforms.

Managing Director Andrew Bellamy expressed confidence in the band’s choice.

“Yard Mas has always prided itself in empowering Jamaicans, especially those who excel within our local creative industry. Anna-Lisa’s rise in the design world has been impressive, consistent and remarkable. I’ve worked with her in the past when she just entered the carnival design space," he said.

Bellamy continued, "Undoubtedly, Anna’s work has gone viral multiple times both locally and internationally, mainly because of her innovation that connects deeply and resonates with people and our culture; similarly to how Yard Mas connects with our masqueraders. We are proud and confident that her creative direction will guide and ‘wow’ our 2026 theme, and without a doubt, her personal designs will also excite and satisfy masqueraders”.

Already in full creation mode, Guthrie shared, “Art has always been my language — it’s how I translate emotion, culture and identity into visual form. What Yard Mas has built in such a short time is nothing short of extraordinary — a community connected by creativity, culture, pride and vibes. I designed for the band for the first time this year, but I’ve worked with the members in various capacities in the past, and I can’t wait for the ‘yardies’ to see what our slate of designers have created for 2026!”

Public Relations Director Dania Beckford revealed that the 2026 theme will be released in short order with a hybrid launch that epitomises Caribbean art and design translated into mas.
