Since he got involved in music production 17 years ago, Marlon Wright has worked mainly with artistes insiders consider underground. That has never been a concern, as most of them share his vision.
Wright, an air traffic controller by profession, is head of Cyber Leaf Entertainment which he started in 2008. His current projects are with veteran poet Richie Innocent and singer Jahdeed Rawbawn.
Born in Kingston and raised in Westmoreland, Wright co-produced The Passover, Richie Innocent’s latest song. He has a similar role for Jahdeed Rawbawn’s debut EP which is scheduled for release in early 2026.
“We are interested in collaborating with artistes who not only bring talent but also a message that can resonate and uplift communities. At Cyber Leaf, we’re less concerned with fame and more focused on substance,” said Wright. “Artistes who are willing to speak truth, mentor others and remain humble are the ones we want to work with.”
Over the years, he has produced songs by roots artistes such as Iya Ingi and Derajah. In recent years, Wright has linked with the New York-based Richie Innocent, who has been recording for the past 30 years.
The Passover, released in August, is their most ambitious project to date. Early this year, he met Jahdeed Rawbawn, who like Richie Innocent, is a St Elizabeth native.
“Working alongside Richie for over a decade, and now mentoring Jahdeed, keeps reminding me that this work is bigger than any one of us,” said Wright. “Even when the industry doesn’t give back what you put in, the real reward comes from knowing you’ve touched a life, inspired a youth or created a legacy that will outlast you. For me, that’s worth everything.”
