Trueace buoyed by Reggae North Music Awards win

Recording artiste Trueace is still on a high following his recent win in the Top Traditional Dancehall Song (Male) category at the 2025 Reggae North Music Awards, held at the Rose Theater in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, on September 28.

He earned the award for his single Badman Rock, featured on his debut EP, Grandeza, a six-track project which was released in 2024.

“Being nominated, I felt both special and grateful; it shows that my work doesn’t go unnoticed. When I was announced as the winner I was so shocked that it felt like my mind stepped away from reality. That moment had me both excited and overwhelmed,” the artiste said.

The nomination and subsequent win mark a significant achievement for the artiste, as he continues to establish himself as a force to be reckoned with in the reggae and dancehall scene.

“I want this moment to inspire other artistes, no matter where they are in their respective journeys. My advice is to keep believing in your craft and remember that consistency is key, despite what others may think,” he expressed.

He is also pushing another single from the EP, Better Days, while preparing for the next few chapters of his career — more music, more visuals, more awards, and more entertainment for his supporters. With the growing momentum and achievements behind Badman Rock, Trueace is, of course, grateful to his team who helped make this moment possible, namely AktiveRecord and Wallstreet Records, the producers of the track.

“Big shout out to the team 1flameXGorillaz. We are always active and nothing beats time, as a wise man once said, so keep supporting and look out for a lot more, especially new collaborations,” the artiste continued.
