Jesse Royal performs at Sound Forge on June 19

Wadada Movement will presents Dubwise Trinidad with Grammy Award-nominated Jesse Royal performing at Sound Forge, Christopher Samuel Drive, Mucurapo Road, Port of Spain on June 19. Jalifa Fyah Princess is also scheduled to perform.

This would be his second performance in Trinidad, the first being in 2017 and this appearance is highly-anticipated by local fans, a media release said.

Vogue Magazine in 2015 listed Jesse Royal as part of a greater ongoing "reggae revival" movement (along with other artists such as Chronixx, Jah9 and Protoje) happening in Jamaica and the rest of the world, revitalising the genre of roots reggae, the release said.

Jesse Royal released his second studio album titled Royal on Easy Star Records on June 11, 2021. The LP features collaborations with top reggae artists Vybz Kartel, Protoje, Kumar, Ghanaian Afrobeats artist Stonebwoy, Jamaica's rising talents Samory I, and Runkus.

Jesse Royal got his first Grammy nomination for his album Royal. It was produced by Grammy-winning reggae producer Sean Alaric who produced most of the album, along with Royal himself, Natural High, Dretegs, Iotosh, Yared "Boomdraw" Lee, Romario "Runkus" Bennett, and Wayne "Unga Barunga" Thompson.

He was nominated for the fans-choice 2021 Album of the Year' award by Surf Roots TV & Radio for Royal in December 2021. Voting was determined by Facebook, Instagram and Twitter users. This was his first time being nominated with the reggae rock streaming TV channel on Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and Roku, the release said.

Dubwise said it is now one of the leading conscious events to be experienced across the globe, with established brand recognition in Jamaica, Miami, California, Ethiopia, London and TT.

Dubwise said as it continues to grow its brand post covid19, it "hopes to continue creating that perfect space to spread, protect and preserve the conscious message through reggae music. "
