Again,
Appleton Jamaica Rum Welcome To Jamrock has delivered!
The much talked about concert, scheduled for Friday,
December 21 at the Constant Spring Football
field, has now confirmed another one of Reggae’s
promising big guns- Collie Buddz. He joins an already
packed house of stars that will jam, entertain, and
liven up Jamaica’s entertainment scene for the
Christmas. He joins a list of stars which include the
Marley family, Tarrus Riley, and Etana among others.
Collie Buddz is no stranger to the
island. The music video for his break-out track Come
Around was shot by Ras Kassa right here in
Jamaica. In addition, he has constantly referred to
Jamaica as the hub for his influence, and cites here
as the influence for his music.
He was born Colin Harper in New
Orleans, but he was raised in Bermuda, and spent much
of his time in Toronto Canada. With the mixed
background, he was exposed to a wide variety of music,
ranging from dancehall, to soca, to hip-hop. These
three he held close, but settled comfortably into the
dancehall world.
He is quoted in several interviews
as claiming that he was deeply connected to the sound
system culture of Bermuda, and hungrily fed on the
lyrical diets of Buju Banton, Beenie Man and Bounty
Killer among other hard hitting deejays in the early
1990s. His brother being a DJ, it was only natural
that he began to deejay at an early age.
He recorded the Demo Track Come
Around, and that sent his career in motion. The
track has topped the UK charts, earned him a Sony BMG
deal, and is a definite dance-stopper here in Jamaica.
He recently released his self titled album, and is
riding high with other tracks such as Mamacita,
Blind To You, and What A Feeling.
Armed with this flawless Reggae reputation, he is sure
to deliver what Jamaicans have come to expect from
Welcome To Jamrock…quality music.
The main sponsors to date are
Appleton Jamaica Rum, Hilton Kingston, Kingston Beer,
Ticket Animal, RJR Group, The Jamaica Gleaner, Air
Jamaica and Wisynco.
